TIL CoD works on Linux, unlike the newer BF games that don’t :( (explicitly blocking)
I wouldn’t call it working… And it’s only older titles. Newer ones also don’t. Thank you anti cheat for preventing us from playing shit games
By now you can safely assume that all games work with Linux. The very few exceptions that don’t are those games that explicitly block Linux gamers.
Space Marine 2 is the only reason I’m still booting on Windows…
The only issues I’ve had are games with anti cheat. Otherwise everything works amazing.
There are anti-cheat games that do work, the ones that don’t are only because the developers choose it.
Oh absolutely. I wasn’t implying all anti cheat games don’t work, but the games that don’t work are anti cheat games.
GRIS crashes on Proton in my experience. 😩
Skyrim still does not work. Try pulling up the virtual keyboard on the Steam Deck while in the game.
I play nodded akyrim just fine with linux
That’s a steam deck issue, not a Linux issue though. Skyrim works on Linux
You are incorrect, it is 100% a linux issue: Steam Deck runs Steam OS, which is an Arch linux flavor.
That’s like pointing at an Android-based smart fridge, saying it doesn’t run Skyrim, and saying it’s a Linux issue, because android is based on Linux.
If you want to play the semantics game, Android does not run a Linux kernel and is only based on it. Which makes it no longer Linux.
Nice try.
The virtual keyboard isn’t used while gaming in regular desktop Linux. That is a steam issue, specifically a steamdeck issue since a regular desktop would use the physical keyboard to type in Skyrim.
I know about the OS the deck is running and that it’s an arch form, but it’s not a Linux issue, it’s a steam deck issue since non steamdeck desktop Linux pcs don’t have that issue because they use a physical keyboard.
What you are saying is like me saying that the inability to read Chinese is a human issue because I can’t read it and in human. Naaah.
That doesn’t make it a Linux issue. It’s an issue with some component that is in a Linux distribution, but it probably has nothing to do with the Linux operating system. It sounds like it’s specifically some component of the Deck at fault, not a part of Linux.
when you open skyrim, go to the mods section, hit left bumper when there to open the search. it will bring up the virtual keyboard.
now just simply exit the menu and start the game. and the keyboard will work without crashing the game.
its a workaround, but I’m used to doing it whenever I load up skyrim.
enjoy! <3
I’ve already tried that, it does not work. Appreciate your help however.
There’s gotta be a nexus mod that handles the issue.
The game is fifteen years old . A third-party mod fixing this issue instead of Bethesda tracks so hard.
Pretty sure the latest update with a load of paid mod bs is what caused the bug lol
It worked for me, but then again I don’t use a virtual keyboard.
There’s a PC version of Chrono Trigger? Huh, I guess I missed that news.
I heard it wasn’t very good. Just a port of the mobile version with a lot of serious flaws. Better to emulate the SNES version.
I haven’t come across any serious issues. Although, I’m not a hard-core retro-supremacist.
It got patched up, it’s decent enough nowadays
Chrono Trigger
Wouldn’t an emulator of either the snes or Playstation version work better than the PC port? 🤔
Does the newer remaster even have anything worthwhile? I personally do not like the UI compared to the OG.
Even if this is the worst way to play it, it’s still worth them fixing whatever the issue was. It’s not like it’s exclusive to that game. Whatever it was doing that wasn’t working as intended likely effects other games too. It was an issue with how Proton translated it, and the fix should apply to any other similar usage of whatever graphics library it was using.
And the OG SNES version has the best English translation. A hill I would gladly die on 😤

I wouldn’t play the PS1 port, because of the long
losingloading times.
I agree with that article though, that the best version to play is the DS port. The Steam release is okay, it’s simply the easiest to buy nowadays.SNES in my opinion is the superior version. and having access to better saves is also appreciated cause some fights can get long.
I’m kinda curious what the technical differences are.
I usually play the PS1 version just for the cutscenes because I don’t notice any real differences that affect the gameplay. 🤷♂️
I admit I tend to avoid ps1 emulation because it tends to look… tilted kinda? like the polygons seem to always be out of whack.
but maybe its a bit smoother if it doesn’t have to generate any 3d images or textures. I have not played the ps1 version so I am not entirely sure if it suffers from that or not.
That tilted look is due to the PS1 graphics hardware lacking perspective correction for projected textures. It gave its games a very distinctive look.
Well it’s a 2D game so the PS1’s quirks of 3D rendering don’t even apply.
I know what you mean, tho. That unique look PS1 has because it didn’t use floating point integers for the vertices, so whenever the camera moves, the models look like they are shifting/wiggling as vertices jump from point to point in the most unsmooth manner possible?
yes that’s what I mean! interesting that it works that way. also its good to hear it runs well on ps1.
Sooo what’s Warframe like on Proton/Linux then?
It’s run flawlessly for years. The devs are very supportive of Wine/Proton users, they’ve release bug fixes specifically aimed at Linux users before
Also, the GloriousEggroll person who is behind Proton GE, started his work by fixing Warframe under Wine and testing/reporting issues. Coincidentially, this version of Proton fixes Thai language rendering, and he is half-thai.
It actually runs better on my dual boot with Linux Bazzite, than Win11.
call of duty is now removed from changelog https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/wiki/Changelog/_compare/e4e94568ea5df017a116a0947713e100eab5635b
When I read Call of duty cold war, I thought it was a typo, pretty sure the call of duty’s post mw2019 run a rootkit anticheat that also happens to disable the games on linux in general. Maybe there’s a workaround now and Activision lost it?
