EAC on Steam Deck / Proton / Linux

I know, I got all excited about it and almost even bought the battle pass thinking like “heck yeah back on the grind”.

hilariously also dbd ran better on my Ubuntu than the windows 10 what the laptop had before.

dbd on linux run better than windows? what windows u try? win 7?

I talk about dbd, but not about linux vs win (cmon, i'm linux user too)

check my post on this page, i'm said about dbd performance on linux and win {7,8}

well, I does't see games with better performance under linux (native or proton), instead win

Only 1080p. I run so much other software at the same time, OBS, Audio Mixer etc.

Normally record too, so I'm surprised it hasn't melted tbh 🤣

I never used Debian, because I swapped to rolling release which is bleeding edge since starting on non-bleeding edge distros. Gaming is far better on bleeding edge for me due to updates to graphics. I'm on openSUSE tumbleweed, previously on Fedora. Gaming on both of those was far better than on ZorinOS (non-bleeding edge distro). I never had any stability issues and genuinely don't get why people hate rolling release distros. The sole issues I had was on betas of non-rolling release distros. Oh, and as much as I love the idea of Wayland, it works worse for me than X11. Oh, and always remember to swap to window (borderless or not). One thing which never works too well for me is fullscreen, but I'm decently sure it's not too good on Windows too from what I remember. Depending on level of experience, I'd recommend ZorinOS for complete Linux noobs (Installed it for my aunt who still had Vista whose laptop could never take on modern Windows, but ran smoothly under Linux), Fedora for non-complete noobs and I'd say openSUSE is fine for medium experience. I tried arch VERY briefly, but I'd say don't touch until very experienced. I judge based on your level of knowledge needed to have stuff working. Essentially, it's a scale of how much things will get easily/auto installed and how much you need to install. Arch expects you to install all on your own so if you don't know what you need, you won't know what you're missing to have stuff running. Probably SteamOS 3.0 for PC will have official release by the time they re-enable DBD Steam support and I imagine it will be set up so you don't need to know anything about arch to game.

The CM is out of the office. They will probably reply to Niko's @'s when they get around to it.

Even if we get the same response as before, I image we are close to getting Steam Deck support. The UI changes are already in-place for Steam Deck.

i"m using debian sid, it's similary as rolling release.

2nd distro for me - opensuse, but few weeks ago I can't install thumbleweed + gnome + nvidia propietary and I'm return to debian sid.

idk about window mode for game, I want try it, but dbd doesn't work at this time %)

Every morning I wake up and think, maybe today is the day we get an update.

Then I load up this forum to see the stone dead silence and I honestly don't know why I expect anything more.

*Insert crickets chirping*

Looking at all the other bugs and problems in game, I feel like Linux has just been pushed to the back of the room.

In the cold dark damp corner.

Like Wheezy from toy story.

But it worked damn it! It worked! 😅🤣

I always get every comment here on my mail, read every one and hope it will work. When it did, I played some rounds with friends and now I just wait again... Every morning I hope that I get THAT email which says it finally works ;-;

My disappointment and frustration with this is immense....

Man, I just want to play with my friends, have fun hunting them down and getting hunted by them while having voicechanger and stuff on... it is so fun and we had some hilarious conversations... It fcking worked but then they disabled it or messed smth up and now we have to wait again...

Come on ;-;

sounds to me like your CPU may be the bottleneck here. a 1080 Ti should keep the game running at the 62 FPS cap on either OS when paired with a decent CPU from the past 5 years. even my old Ryzen 1600 (non X) kept my old RX 570 close to cap (which should be substantially slower than a 1080 Ti)

Would be awesome to have this working.

sad... anyway, there are plenty of other games to play and spend money on.

or maybe they just don't have permission to give anymore information than we already have yet. my theory is that Thanksgiving was just a quick test run and that they're probably aiming for Deck verification by Christmas so new Steam Deck owners will see it on the front page or something like that. if true, kind of a big brain move ngl.

yeah but i think Proton/DXVK may add a few more steps for your CPU to process. most games only use 2-4 cores and those cores are probably already being pushed to the max without DXVK on top. Linux IS lighter than Windows, but both operating systems can take advantage of the extra cores while the game itself probably does not.

Steam Deck just announced it will open orders on Asia in December. Dbd is losing all that Marketshare plus existing steam deck owners.

I skipped buying skins, this dlc and the rift. Imagine how many other people who are not in this forum are also skipping all content as well.

Specially during the season where online sales for the holidays had people spending tons of money. They're not getting the Bigger picture here.

Heck even Nintendo is scared of the potential of steam deck at this point lol.

Can the person post any video proof and how their files look like? This is how I installed my OS (fresh install, then I install Steam stuff, i.e. Proton EAC first and much later I installed DBD) and it's never worked.

I responded to the comment of the person asking them if they could post further information for other people to repro to play.

If anyone sees people speaking of being able to play matches on Linux, I don't understand why you don't speak to them yourself and come to post here instead. If you want to play the game, you need to be a tiny bit more proactive. It costs you nothing and I find it bizzare that you can you in the effort to mention it here, but cannot ask the person who possibly holds the actual solution directly, lol. We all want to play the game and since BHVR doesn't seem too interested in collecting our money, possibly the only way might be speaking to people who say it works for them and dissecting their game files.

they gave us hope, then they took everything away and are silent. dbd still won't start.

For me, it previously wasn't even letting me into the main menu once it stopped working (after having worked perfectly).

I'll try to play a match later on.

I edited my post above but I'll put it here again:

GE-Proton7-41

Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS

In Steam (normal) (not Epic Games).
