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

The game for me came in 3 downloads.

59GB initial download
9GB Patch 1
250MB patch 2

I wouldn't call it massive, not when COD 250GB download exist!

I found vkd3d to be a poor experience in battlefield games, the framerate was all over the place while under DX11 (DXVK) it was solid 60fps or more.

Anyway playing the game under windows for a little while. Been updating all my drivers and bios, and oddly enough the bios update removed my Linux boot option?¿ no idea how that happened, guess I'll need to repair that.

well 5.9.12 kernel is meant to work but I tested it and, it does not for my 6800XT card.

Once 5.10 final release is rolled out into distros as the standard kernel version, inc on install isos, then all should be smooth rolling from there on it.

Community lead and developed projects and apps that have been handed over to the community for maintenance are an entirely different kettle of fish. If a company came in and took that sort of project it would create a shitstorm, I can see maybe microsoft or apple doing that...

Quoting: syxbitI have one. Just install Linux-mainline from AUR
Yeah I used a 5.10rc6 repo someone posted. But the point is the DE install media will crash, you need to do it all via Architect or built a install image yourself with 5.10 baked in.

Basically adds layers of complexity to installing Linux which MOST casual desktop users would have no idea about whats going on, too me a couple tries to understand the interface options.

I ended up deleting windows10 install in the process (oops), I'll slap that back on later down the line for VR/CP77 stuff.

I was not able to get past a black screen with my 6800XT card. So while they say it supports NAVI-2, it doesn't in my case.

I tried wayland for Plasma, and well, it was terrible. Programs failed to launch, top title bars didn't render correctly, etc... Mind you this was on Pop!_OS, I want to go back to arch linux but atm no install media will work with NAVI so maybe I'll wait until next point release.

I wonder if it detects proton versions and can install games with that.

Valve updates the Steam Linux Container Runtime for Proton 5.13, helps tools like MangoHud

I can get mangohud to work but vkbasalt prevents games from loading correctly. Is odd.
