Quoting: jtreaganas long as there is something in the Command Prefix field, the app won't start

Sorry to hear that. Do check the Lutris log for clues why it's not working, could be something simple like a missing library or Python problem. Many distros are moving away from Python2 so maybe you were caught in a borked transition to Python3.
Here's an example log [External Link] from a successful start+exit of the game in the article.

Quoting: lordgaultDoes it still work better with Proton?

Short answer; in most cases, yes.

However the native version runs quite well today, Linux drivers have matured enormously since the game released in 2015. The port isn't great, but it has been improved and bug fixed so you might be surprised how it runs now. Native version doesn't like my mouse thumb buttons so it's definitely not perfect by any means.

Daym, that's impressively crazy... everything and the kitchen sink. :shock:

Quoting: whizsecompile Mesa from git and the game is rendering correctly now

Can you test if the lens flares are gone as well? Use different AA settings at night with bloom enabled.

The game isn't left for dead then. :)

Note that the demos and full game are usually different version numbers. Full version is always updated.
However, the AMD+Mesa graphics bugs have been around a long time and seems to be caused by Unitys wonky Indirect Instancing buffers. I had hoped for a fix before release but I guess it's complicated. :/

The team is well aware of the issue. Join the funselektor Discord [External Link] or file a bug report with the right side button on artofrally.com [External Link] to help them out.

edit: I reported back in late July that mesa-git 20.2 built with clang was working, although bloom was still causing excessive lens flares at night if using any other antialiasing setting than TAA.

Quoting: razing32without any choice

The general idea is to tell a story that is partly affected by your input. It's no surprise that the game will try to gently coax you through all the way. You won't experience all the story even over multiple playthroughs since your choices do matter... some choices get you killed and ends the game. :whistle:

Coteries was strangely alluring and pleasant to play on my Linux PC, I assume Shadows will be quite enjoyable as well.

It will never be as perfect as the impossible fantasy many of us have constructed in our minds, but I have hopes it will be pretty damn good regardless. So far it's looking promising indeed and each new (positive) update has been interesting. Fingers crossed...

As an owner of at least six F710's at one point, I say that's the one.

Why so many? They have been crazy affordable at times so I bought a bunch when I could, and taking a laptop with 4 controllers to a meetup means quick and sweet local multiplayer. I seem to recall the price being as low as 20€ at one point, with normal price being about 40-45€.

Never had a single hiccup with any of them and I've worn two of them down hard over the years, still going strong. Use the extension cable to avoid signal interference from the PC. Really good battery life, weeks and weeks even if playing daily. Even has a Direct input/xinput toggle switch.

The triggers are a bit too heavy for my taste, but the springs can be replaced with weaker ones, not a complicated endeavor. I used ballpoint pen springs from two ordinary pens. Philips screwdriver, suitable springs and maybe 15 minutes, done.
