Valve puts up Proton 5.13-4 to get Cyberpunk 2077 working on Linux for AMD GPUs

Quoting: Boldos

Quoting: x_wingJust take a look on the number of people that are asking for CP2077 or Galaxy for Linux in GOG and you will see that they cannot have any doubt that a lot of Linux users shows their support but they don't give a fuck. "Keep buying so they notice us" just doesn't makes sense.

Can I please ask, where can this be found on GOG?

Hello everyone,
im new to this forum.

well first of all its nice that valve and cdred did make this happen.
I read some posts here about that the game not works with nvidia gpus.
Not true.

here my system infos
OS: Linux Mint 20 ulyana
Arch: x86_64
Kernel: 5.9.12-050912-generic
Desktop: X-Cinnamon
Display Server: x11

[CPU]
Vendor: AuthenticAMD
Model: AMD Ryzen 5 2600X Six-Core Processor
Physical cores: 6
Logical cores: 12

[Memory]
RAM: 15.6 GB
Swap: 2.0 GB

[Graphics]
Vendor: NVIDIA Corporation
OpenGL Renderer: GeForce GTX 1060 6GB/PCIe/SSE2
OpenGL Version: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 455.45.01
OpenGL Core: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 455.45.01
OpenGL ES: OpenGL ES 3.2 NVIDIA 455.45.01
Vulkan: Supported

i add this WINEDLLOVERRIDES="xaudio2_7=n,b" PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=90 %command% to my start options because crackling sound
solve this for me

about crashing freezing
when you get this lower your graphic settings
the linux proton version do not perform as good as the windows (driver optimisation proton layer and so on )

with my nice gtx 1060 \o/ monster i use a mix of setting low/medium
with idelityFX CAS Option -> 70/100 dynamic -> that helps allot with performance and stability
stable 30 fps !!!!

a good side about the game settings is this one here
https://www.denofgeek.com/games/cyberpunk-2077-best-graphics-settings/

well i play for 2 hours now and no freez or crash
had one before yesterday and for me it was just because my settings where to high for my card

well but for all the nvidia ppl out there

GAME WORKS WELL SO GO AND GET IT

its an amassing game

edit:
did change my start options to this
PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=60 %command% from ikiroto (thx)
but i notice that voiceovers from ncps missing
do not know why

well looks like this is a general problem

Quoting: TriasLooks like I would need more and more staff I understand less and less on my system. Giving up. I guess I'll wait for Mesa 21 release while trying to uninstall everything I installed today... :).

you can always resort to oibaf ppa
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

I'm using Oibaf driver PPA on daily basis for quite a long time.
Can anyone please confirm that C2077 works with these (current) Oibaf drivers?

Trias confirmed it works with Mesa from either Oibaf's or Kisak's PPA earlier in this thread. Mind that he has different hardware than you do.

Perhaps the hangs on nvidia can be fixed by disabling the Steam overlay. Checking.

Yep, tested and confirming both. Currently both Oibaf and Kisak PPA's are good for CP2077.

Quoting: NociferWhat if they (don't) tell us that them making a Linux-native Vulkan renderer for Stadia is part of an under-the-table deal with Google to not make it available for general use so it won't benefit their competition.

I'm not usually one for conspiracy theories, and I'm practically pulling this out of my a$$ here, but it wouldn't really surprise me if it became known some day that Google has employed such practices in order to promote Stadia.

I think people who easily label others thoughts as conspiracy theories are naive at best and ignorant at worst. No bad company will come out and reveal what shady things they are doing behind scenes, they will likely try to hide their actions. I have always thought up until this discussion surrounding Cyberpunk that Stadia might not have negative consequences for Linux when it comes to developers wanting to use Stadia release as opportunity to release on Linux as well. But it hit me, and as I said, if developers games work on Stadia..why would they bother to take the initiative to release natively or make Vulkan renderer for the Windows release to help Linux ecosystem. They can just say "Play it on Stadia". This will be hugely detrimental to Linux ecosystem and great for Stadia (Chromebooks/ChromeOS).

I have hoped and still do that CDPR makes Vulkan renderer available on Windows. But if CDPR isn't doing the Stadia port themselves then that will likely not happen. Furthermore there goes the chance of CDPR transitioning to Vulkan API for next Witcher game whether that be a sequel, prequel or remake. This isn't good.

Also I would not be surprised if Google had a clause in their agreement with developers that prohibits or restricts native release on Linux. Why on world would you as a company be for desktop Linux, which competes with ChromeOS, and also encourage a local release that goes against your streaming service?

well for sure you can disable it but
i have no hangs ^^

i just test the win 10 version and the game with linux steam proton

its a fact that with the same hardware same machine on linux it do now perform as good as with windows
but well nvidida did highly tune up the new windows driver for the game ^^

i play the game with my crappy gpu on windows in 2560 x 1440 native
with a mix of low medium high settings
and get fps between 35-45 and

so i fire up my linux and with the same settings i get "17 fps"
ups
so no driver optimisation anyway from nvidia
well with lower screen resolution to 1920x1080
and settings low / medium
i get 30 fps and can play the game smooth

the only thing i was not able to fix is this missing sound issue

when games start to freez , and that for both os, it most of the time because the settings to ambitios for the hardware ^^

This doesn't makes sense. If ChromeOS sees a Linux distro as competence then I don't want to know how they see Windows 10 (or MacOS for the matter of same products type). The value of a Streaming platform is all the infrastructure you build in order to make it possible, not to mention that users like the idea of Stadia because they don't need to have the latest hardware in order to play games.

If CDPR would care about Linux we would already have the Linux port of CP2077. I fail to understand why this is so difficult to see and some people prefer to think on artificial/corporation limitations that are limiting them to do the release.

Das Spiel ist im Moment völlig verbuggt. Einfach warten und nicht kaufen!

The game is completely bugged at the moment. Just wait and don't buy!
