      @evan_ For graphics cards for Linux gaming AMD is the best because their drivers are opensource. You can get external GPU enclosures like the Razer Core X though it would depend on how mobile you are.

            t seems to me you are typing

            ./protontricks 9420 dlls d3dx9

            into the terminal

            but you should type

            protontricks 9420 dlls d3dx9

            into the terminal

              Hi everyone. I was having issues with fonts not rendering in the launcher on archlinux. The issue was fixed by installing Microsoft's fonts using the package "tts-ms-fonts" from the AUR.

              Just posting it here in case anyone else has the same issue in the future

                I did a lot of playing around with linux faf today and i got 2 notable bits of info to share will everyone.

                1. If you (like me) have extreme stuttering during the launch animation and the score screen, i have found a way to remove it (at the cost of some looks). To remove it u need to take this https://imgur.com/a/MoKYCZJ command and add /nomovie to the end of the command after the %s. This removes all videos/movies from the game.

                2. Jip will be putting out a video on how to setup a development environment for FA. I went through and created a script that would allow us linux users to contribute as well. It will be located here as soon as my pr is accepted https://github.com/Spikey84/fa/tree/deploy/fafdevelop/setup/bin

                          What about the FAF command line?
                          Do you have any useful debug logs? May start faf-client from CMD and watch the output or use the debug-log option in settings.

                            I have a similar problem as daz1st, I'm running EndeavourOS as distro.

                            I have followed the stops throughly on https://wiki.faforever.com/en/Linux-Install

                            I'm able to run SupCom from steam with no problems, just running SupCom with FAForever that's not working

                            FAF: ~/.faforever/run "%s" /nomovie
                            STEAM: WINEDLLOVERRIDES="d3d9=n" PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 PROTON_DUMP_DEBUG_COMMANDS=1 %command%

                            From FAForver terminal: https://pastebin.com/TSh3xMRa

                            Nevermind I found out the problem.

                            Thought that arch-based put the client in ~/.faforever/
                            Solution:
                            cp /tmp/proton_$USER/run /usr/share/java/downlords-faf-client

                            and then in Command Line Format for Executable in FAF-Client
                            /usr/share/java/downlords-faf-client/run "%s" /nomovie

                              Yes, don't use realtive paths in the Startup commands, this got me twice, too 💨

                              Maybe someone with editorial permissions adds this information to the Wiki?

                                the best place to get faster support is in the dedicated #linux-support channel on the discord. their are people there who are running faf on linux that may be able to help quicker than on the forum
