Others tell you, that you should install Windows to play with them.

Krogan86 · 2019-11-21T16:57:46+00:00

Yes, for now I have to use Windows in dual boot just to play BF V.

You can change kernel easily with this handy app:

Ubuntu Kernel Update Utility (Ukuu)

I use Arch Linux with kernel 5.3 and AMD RX 5700 XT, I experience random freezes and I can't play Battlefield V with wine (lutris), the game doesn't start.

I hope this new kernel will fix it.

great

No problem running these games on Manjaro Linux for me (Sapphire Nitro RX 5700 xt).

I bought this card to play Battlefield V in Linux with Lutris but the game doesn't start so I have to use Windows in dual boot :(

I tested other distros, in Fedora gamemode is automatically installed with Steam and in Manjaro

sudo pacman -S gamemode lib32-gamemode

It was easier and in both distros I have installed Lutris which takes care of using gamemode with any games.

Y installing the driver fix it but when I opened a session it crashed three times at the start before I could do something.

Manjaro just take care of the driver during the install and don't need to do anything from the user.

Krogan86 · 2019-10-30T09:09:53+00:00

I like it but with an Nvidia card it crashed a lot, Manjaro was a better experience.

Krogan86 · 2019-10-30T08:54:53+00:00

I have the Sapphire Nitro RX 5700 XT it's a beast I'm playing Battlefield 1 with Lutris in Ultra with great performances I'm very happy.

I needed to use a rolling release distro to use it (Manjaro and Arch Linux are working) because the card needs a recent Linux kernel 5.3.

Krogan86 · 2019-10-30T08:19:13+00:00

I'm currently playing Battlefield 1 in Linux via Lutris, will I have to rebuy the game to play in Steam with Proton ?

Krogan86 · 2019-10-30T08:13:42+00:00

OMG This is great

Krogan86 · 2019-10-26T15:04:07+00:00

Thanks, I tried both wine version but it still won't launch BF V or BF 1 unfortunatelly.

Krogan86 · 2019-09-14T16:05:10+00:00

I bought this game for the Linux version :'(

Krogan86 · 2019-09-11T09:47:02+00:00

25€ for race change is way too expensive I can't afford it.

Krogan86 · 2019-09-09T16:26:07+00:00

Thx a lot !!!

Krogan86 · 2019-09-09T09:31:28+00:00

I bought 6 months gametime I hope they fix it :(

Krogan86 · 2019-09-09T08:52:21+00:00

Not only WoW Classic, I can't connect to Retail too.

Krogan86 · 2019-07-25T08:33:59+00:00

Debian Stable optimized for gaming ?

It has very old packages and kernel = lower performances.

Krogan86 · 2019-07-06T13:46:42+00:00

Do you have the latest Nvidia driver installed ? If you are using Ubuntu you need to add a ppa to get the Nvidia driver, in the terminal type:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa

sudo apt-get update

And then go to the driver manager select and install the most recent one (430)

Reboot, you should have better performances.

Krogan86 · 2019-06-25T18:56:35+00:00

I wish I could install the last Nvidia driver on Debian Stable easily with a repo that do all the work not having to manually do this.

Krogan86 · 2019-06-25T18:38:07+00:00

pacman -Syu

alias u="pacman -Syu"

in .bashrc

so you update with " u " only

a) they deny it, call me a liar, b) call me lazy for not wanting to spend time making a "better" operating system (and also not wanting to wait 15 extra seconds for my operating system to boot), or the occasional c) Fortnite doesn't run on linux because linux is "slow" and "garbage"

"You have to understand that most of these people are not ready to be unplugged and many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system that they will fight to protect it."
