I'm utterly hooked on Mass Effect: Legendary Edition, lately. I've completed 1 and 2, now making my way through 3. What a journey!

Can anyone get the Total War series of games to play in Linux?

Feral Interactive is one of the big Linux developers that makes ports for Linux and Mac. Total War games should run.

I've been playing Rise Of The Triad. I just ran the installer with wine and bang, bang, boom, boom.
I also recovered my Steam account. I forgot how challenging Portal was. My Celeron laptop only copes with 640x480 but hey, reminds of the 486 days.
Cant wait to get the new to me computer up and running and try some new games. Just saving up for the new GPU.

Why on the Celeron? You'll get slightly better gaming performance from the Athlon integrated graphics

I only fly (the Linux version of) X-Plane 11...

I didn't fly today, I was wrestling with a PC that kept shutting down...

My A4 runs really hot in the SFF HP when I try to game. I've even upgraded the thermal paste and it still creeps up to the high 80s.

I was just doing the nostalgia thing with my old steam purchases.

Lately I've been reliving the glory days and playing the h*** out of Diablo I. Still my favorite from the series.

I've been playing it on my M1 MBA. Wish I could play it in Linux.

I've been digging through my games that have been in storage for ~10 years.
I have installed and am playing Crysis and Hitman 2. I am just using Wine 7.0 and everything seems to work. Any games that I haven't been able to run in Windows 10, won't run under Wine either. I have a container full of old games that I am going to play with (pun intended).

DN3D mods..... there are some real great one's and a lot of real bad one's.

Currently playing a mix of Lord of the Rings Online, Guild Wars 2, Lost Ark (can only play via GeForce Now as I refuse to dual boot just for a game) and trying to work out what the heck I'm doing in Dune: Spice Wars.

I've also been looking at a project on GitHub called TrinityCore which I find quite interesting and which has allowed me to make my own personal private WoW server (using completely open-source code with added bots from another GitHub project (Trickerer) to enable me to solo some dungeons too) so playing a little bit of solo Wrath of the Lich King on there as that was definitely my favourite expansion. I know Blizzard are also remastering WotLK at the moment so may take a look at that when it's finished, though I'm not keen on resubbing to WoW again as it's just a massive time-sink.

I'm also playing GW2. Out of curiosity, what kind of fps are you getting? I can't really get much higher than 40 fps, and that's on low settings. I load the launcher through steam as a 3rd party game and use GE-Proton. Are you able to get anything better than that?

I'm a console gamer (Xbox One X) and have been doing a modded Fallout 4 run with a good guy character. I can't play vanilla anymore and I should really try it on my PC because the mod cap is 2GB on console. Also been playing WWF No Mercy using an emulator in Windows 10, which works well because my Xbox controller plugs right in and works great. I also play Sims 3 and 4 in Windows.

I'm looking forward to "Calisto Protocol", the "Dead Space" remake (sure hope it's as good as the original), RE8:Village (haven't played it yet, waiting for the 3rd person version) and Starfield.

[Infidelus]

I don't honestly take a lot of notice of my FPS but haven't noticed any stuttering when I'm playing. Just logging in now to look, I'm getting a solid 60fps (with the limiter on), but that's just standing still at a travel point.



If I turn the FPS limiter off, I get well over 100 FPS:



Obviously your hardware will have a sizeable effect so here's mine for reference:

Code: Select all

OS: Linux Mint 21 Cinnamon
Kernel: 5.15
Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 3600
Memory 16GB
Graphics: GeForce RTX 2070

GW2 is installed via Lutris in my case and is currently using lutris-fshack-7.2-x86_64.

Been playing Tiny Tina's Wonderlands since release. Great game play as (almost) always in a Borderlands games. Some of the side stories are a bit off, but fun nevertheless.

Total War Warhammer 3 had the "Immortal Empires" update recently, effectively combining the content from all three games into one massive thunderdome of a campaign. I'm able to play it via Steam Proton and even multiplayer works fine, playing with friends on Windows.

Other than that I'm looking forward to GoW Ragnarok and Hogwarts Legacy (Though they're on PS5, not PC).

I finally bit the bullet and bought a VR headset (Meta Quest 2) just over a month ago to beat the price rise. Really rather enjoying it so far, though finding the clarity sweet spot is difficult, especially if you don't have 20/20 vision. I did buy some prescription inserts which have helped a little, though my prescription it's too strong anyway so I was playing without the inserts for the best part of a month.

I've only played a few games so far:

Beat Saber (it was free ). It's good fun until you've run out of the default sound tracks and have to decide whether you're going to pay, what seems a fairly extortionate price, for some add-on music. I have so far chosen not to.
Walkabout Mini Golf - I've only played by myself so far but it's still really good. Love the Labyrinth course, which was only an extra £2.25 IIRC.
Vader Immortal - The storyline quest is absolutely amazing, though very short for the price. Standing toe to toe with Darth Vader is something, not to mention fighting the Rancor; there was a definite brown trouser moment at that stage! The light sabre dojo is mildly entertaining, but gets very repetitive very quickly.
Eleven Table Tennis - The physics are really good and it's almost like you've got a table tennis table in your room. Just don't try to lean on it . The only improvement I'd like to see on it is more choice of music to play in the background without having to stream something else from your browser/elsewhere.

I've tried getting some Steam games to work, but with little success so far. I got ALVR working enough that I could connect to Steam wirelessly, but that's about it so far (it is apparently a work-in-progress on the Linux side).

I'm playing the original Assassin's Creed game again, it's 15 years old but still a very enjoyable game. It was revolutionary back then and way ahead of it's time (no pun intended).

[kelevra]

Right now I am playing the original Half Life, I've been going through my old game collection. It runs so much better on Mint than Windows 10. The default Open GL driver works fantastic.
I'm looking forward to getting BeamNG working as well. I just need some tweaking, I think, as they're not providing any customer support for Linux installs. I'm stuck playing on Billy's OS, for now.
