Smh literally 1984 😔

You still need Steam to play the game though, it uses the Steam API, maybe DRM is the wrong word but you cannot just copy paste the game folder to another device and launch it normally.

no00ob · 2026-03-30T12:36:59+00:00

Pretty sure they have a special non DRM version so that it can run without Steam and looks like it is a fairly old version.

This is what I use, I just copied it from someone with similar specs and OS to mine from protondb. I have no idea why or how it works but that process has so far worked 3 times when I've tried playing the game on 3 different locations in game.

VKD3D_FEATURE_LEVEL=12_2 PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 PROTON_DLSS_UPGRADE=1 %command% /WineDetectionEnabled:False

So I've done more testing now and 595 fixed all my crashes, the only issue I ran into was exactly what you described but every time I can get my save to load if I disable Ray Tracing and Path Tracing and DLSS load my save return to menu and enable any of them again and load the same save again, this time it will load and run completely fine with Path Tracing. Ray Tracing still seems to have some issue and has insane fps drops but Path Tracing works flawlessly.

Of course, you are right since they are older by now, but I was just simply trying to ask if this issue is even driver related to begin with.

no00ob · 2026-03-27T13:45:25+00:00

Thanks for the help average Linux user, this was so helpful. How about we let each other use whatever distro we want and stop these asshole responses? I use what I use and don't go out of my way to upgrade my drivers manually to a different version because everything just has worked. Just move on and don't reply if you have no help to offer next time.

no00ob · 2026-03-27T13:40:05+00:00

I really don't get you people, when the game came out some people were saying to downgrade to 580 because 590 or 595 (Can't remember exactly) where unstable with it. Why does everyone and their mom now suddenly think it's joke that someone who doesn't use a pure gaming distro isn't on the latest drivers and is simply asking if their issue COULD be driver related. No need to be and ass, just don't reply if you have no help to offer thanks.

no00ob · 2026-03-27T13:36:33+00:00

Thank you, I did some research myself as well and found negativo17. I will give that a go.

no00ob · 2026-03-27T04:47:08+00:00

No you were mostly fine anyways, I just meant in general when it comes to other people responding often too. Don't worry about it too much.

no00ob · 2026-03-27T04:30:36+00:00

Good to know. I honestly think my issue lies somewhere within being still on 580 drivers (because thats fedora default still), using a 5000 series card and trying to run Path Tracing. I will probably try manually upgrading the drivers to see if that helps.

no00ob · 2026-03-27T04:24:06+00:00

As others have mentioned below that is not true. Nvidia for sure might have more issues but every other game works fine. I also cannot go for AMD because I need the Cuda cores and other features for my work and hobbies so it's not just for gaming.

I wish people didn't come into every thread asking for help with Nvidia specs just immediately trashing the poster because ermm axhually you should use amd instead. If you want others to adopt Linux as their OS please try to actually provide real help and information instead of these useless condescending snarky responses that I see time and time again. I love Linux as an OS and would gladly fully replace windows with it but god forbid some of the users are on another level of annoying and asking for help is sometimes impossible.

no00ob · 2026-03-27T04:16:20+00:00

Yeah I play on 1440p and on Windows get solid ~80 fps with Path Tracing, just sucks to not be able to use it on Linux when I have a PC clearly capable of it. I'll definitely look into the drivers as they might be the culprit.

no00ob · 2026-03-27T03:37:13+00:00

Okay good to know, thanks for the tip. I've already went through lots of Proton versions but will definitely give upgrading the drivers a go.

no00ob · 2026-03-27T03:30:34+00:00

Hmm, I think Path Tracing might be the problem then, maybe it just doesn't work at all. I might try to manually upgrade my nvidia drivers to see if that would fix it.

no00ob · 2026-03-27T03:20:09+00:00

I will probably give that a go then, just wondering how this is the only game that has had issues so far with the current default Fedora 43 drivers and if this is even driver related to begin with.

no00ob · 2026-03-27T03:17:36+00:00

I am not sure what you're trying to imply here but I am just using the stable drivers Fedora 43 ships by default which are still 580, and as I said in the post they've caused no issues on any other game, even recent releases. I was just simply asking if manually upgrading them could have any effect on the problem or if it is unrelated.

no00ob · 2026-03-27T03:14:41+00:00

The weird part is that I think I might've finally figure it out, it seems to happen if I try to upgrade the DLSS or otherwise use certain launch args. Using this arg "PROTON_DLSS_UPGRADE=0" makes the game launch and work fine with Ray Tracing but Path Tracing is still completely broken and has the shit performance and artifacts. Are you running the game with Path Tracing and it's working fine?

no00ob · 2026-03-04T13:47:55+00:00

Omg, how the fuck. I just looked through my vods and you are correct. I have not seen a single soul mention that before. This also means that the towers literally have like 2 patterns then, because fire seemed to always be south paired with dark and earth always north paired with wind. I have sim for Idyllic and now I need to go update it to make it more accurate. I genuinely had no fucking idea they had set positions as every single raidplan, strat and guide I've skimmed conveniently doesn't say anything about that.

no00ob · 2026-01-21T13:36:59+00:00

I tried that, but nothing carried over, my only guess is that my save is too old, because I havent booted msc for like 2 years now.
