Linux Support

@Podli enable the Fallback Vault Location in the client setting and redownload your mods (somehow).
was it not enabled from the beginning? oO

exceptions? use the latest Proton version and install Vulkan tools etc: https://linuxconfig.org/install-and-test-vulkan-on-linux

@foodlfg i found the issue. Mods is working, but import from FAF to FA active mods doesn't work. I have to enable mods in lobby manually.

@Podli
ye that one too.

mod dir is here btw:
cd .faforever/user/My\ Games/Gas\ Powered\ Games/Supreme\ Commander\ Forged\ Alliance/mods/

@foodlfg My client insists on JDK11 so had to install it. Ubuntu 20.04.

@LittleMissMurder
yes? what do you want to say with this?
you dont have an old version of java JRE on other distros?

the new 1.2.0 client needs java 14 btw.
i dont know if it is worse news or not. (if you are on Ubuntu 20.04, it is not)

JDK (or rather JRE) 11 is still default but you can of course choose which version to install.

well lets simplify this:

• sudo apt install openjdk-14-jre
• use: 1.2.0 client

Gonna release 1.2.0 as soon as I get the motivation to get out of bed XD

Or not but soon

@foodlfg It doesn't matter anymore - the new client wants 14

yes it does

My game crashes as soon as the game starts:

Maybe I should quit windowed mode but how

Ok ignore the top one I selected a broken map

When I try get the lobby back in full screen mode the game also crashed LOL. Seems like the game as a lot of issues on linux. Who told me I should try linux XD

I think it was working before I put it in windowed mode? Where is that stored how can i revert this. I tried deleting game.prefs but that had no effect

it doesn't sound like you're using proton's run file

did you add this to steam's launch option for FA ?

 PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1, PROTON_DUMP_DEBUG_COMMANDS=1 %command%

the PROTON_DUMP_DEBUG_COMMANDS allows for the creation of a run file under /tmp/proton_$USER/

you copy that file to you faf install dir and point to that file as the run arg for FA.

@foodlfg can you please edit this video into your OP

Of course I have the script I copied it and I also set the options you are talking about. I am almost sure I did everything correctly. And it also worked. Till yesterday when it stoped working and I think it might be cause I am now in windowed mode. And also in the Exceptions the error is ralated to the window mode.

I only have no way of changing the window mode cause that crashes it as well
