MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries runs great on Linux with Proton now it's on Steam

-dx12 will switch it to vkd3d
Also if your running Muqss scheduler with your kernel you can you use schedtool in I mode with less cores which the game likes.

schedtool -I -n 4 -a 0xfff0 -e %command%

Mind that will do nothing if you don't have the muqss scheduler.
Find dx12 games don't crash (for me) with nvidia as well, while messing around with that stuff.

Also if you use MANGOHUD_CONFIG=vsync=3 it's less likely to stutter then the games normal use of vsync and might save your gpu from running at 100% all the time.

Yes, the devs won't be supporting mods, they may after the game is final.
From memory, it is only the main programmer/original dev for the game that really uses linux and on a dual boot system.
They are good people though.
If you join their discord, you can see what they are about.

A key would be awesome!
Not a game i'd normally buy, but it'd nice to see how well it works.

There is a demo up on steam at the moment, no linux exec but if you change it to proton it runs very well.
Bite sized skirmish maps, enemy seems to usualy have equal or +1 force to your own so around 4.

Using the Epic Store on Linux is even easier with the latest Heroic Games Launcher updates

Quoting: undeadbydawnIf anyone cares, I finally got Mortal Shell working today.
1. I set up a new default Wine prefix called 'Heroic'
2. Set lutris-6.0 as default wine
3. Used 'Run exe inside prefix' to select Dungeonhaven.exe. The game then launches immediately.

step 3 has to be done every time.
I tried using GE proton for step 2 but it was game-breaking awful

If anyone has a better method, please share it
Using legendary make sure you have it authed legendary auth
after you have finished insatlling the game do
legendary launch --dry-run app-id
it will give you the command line required to run the game and the prefix and running directory you can use if you choose to run the game from lutris or steam.

you can also try legendary launch appid but it would be advisable to set legionaries extra settings before doing so.
Doing a legendary --help will give you some info.

Hope that helps.

The if there are extra launchers they need to be installed in the same prefix or started inside the prefix the game is trying to run from.

they need to be running in the same bottle effectivly.
Or same environment, whichever makes more sense :D

Yes from memory they mentioned the issue with saving anywhere was because of having to save where everything is, each time you load into the game all the maps are regenerated.

Originally the caravan, don't know if they put it into the game yet. Was going to act as a type of mobile save point once you have it.

All this hard work may end up having to be taken down eventually.
EA is remastering the c&c titles atm.
