I have tried to use Linux for my gaming PC, but I always run into issues. The Finals refused to run, for example.
So, I gave up and just use Windows for gaming. Sigh.
- komali2 1y agoI got Finals working on an i3 nvidia system basically by doing nothing more than installing Steam and then installing The Finals and playing through proton. What issues did you run into?
- coldpie 1y agoAccording to the game's Steam store page, it uses Easy Anti-Cheat, which generally does not work in Proton. Pretty common problem for people who want to play modern online games. I'm surprised you say it works for you.
- esseph 1y agoIt works fine, I've been playing it on Fedora since The Finals was released.
- zamalek 1y agoEAC works fine if the game has it enabled for Linux, which The Finals does (I play it).
- pelotron 1y agoThere is a specific Proton EAC runtime you might have to install. Check under Library -> Tools.
- connicpu 1y agoEAC has an option for Linux/Proton support, but it has to be explicitly enabled by the developer. I believe it ships a Linux binary that runs alongside the game, poking into the wine environment. EAC works just fine in proton with Halo Infinite, for example.
- btreecat 1y agoWould you consider dual booting and spending more time with games that _do work_ on Linux?
- bovermyer 1y agoI'm afraid I only play a small number of titles, and none of them are particularly stable on Linux. I'm not going to change the type of gamer I am just for an OS.
