I've been enjoying many old games anyway because they're easy to run on Linux.
However, I must say modern games like Cyberpunk 2077 also run very well on Linux in Steam.
And I got the Steam Deck to thank for that, since more development on Proton and vkd3d was done for it!
- bogwog 4y agoI can’t think of a single game in my library that doesn’t run on Linux today. The only exceptions are games with anticheat issues of course, but those likely run perfectly fine too. I’m not saying incompatible games don’t exist, I’m sure they do, but they’re definitely the exception rather than the rule now.
- Aardwolf 4y agoThe Age of Empires II remake doesn't work well for me unfortunately: it runs, but when trying multiplayer, you can play for 1 minute, then it gives sync error Multiplayer is the sad part for Linux these days, except for the more cooperative type of games like Terraria, Factorio and Satisfactory where it works well.
- Scaevolus 4y agoTo fix AOE2:DE multiplayer all you need to do is extract UCRTBASE.DLL from a VC++ redistributable to avoid desyncs-- here's a repo that has a script for it: https://github.com/ardba/proton_aoe2de_mpfix https://github.com/ardba/proton_aoe2de_mpfix

- wingmanjd 4y agoI think some multiplayer protocols still don't work under Linux. Directplay from Microsoft is still broken for older games like Freelancer [1]. Single player works just fine. [1] https://appdb.winehq.org/viewbugs.php?iBugId=4066 https://appdb.winehq.org/viewbugs.php?iBugId=4066
