I'm pretty sure I've had the replay crashes for a while now, long before 455 but I've never tried Proton 5.13, let me test with that.
@tatsu said in Linux Support:
guys that happens if you close steam.
This is also very weird because with Proton 5.0 and below you never had to have Steam running.
EDIT: This can be fixed by removing "steam.exe" from the last line of your "run" file.
OK with Proton 5.13 I have no crashes so far, 40 minutes into a game.
I've also just realized I've been playing with D3D9 all this time! I just switched to D9VK and the game is soo much smoother!
Now, my only remaining issue is all the missing effects but I guess there is no solution to that
@callcifer said in Linux Support:
mmhhh TY
I just switched to D9VK
how'd you do that?
no, it is not because of that. as i said:
if i just run the run 5.09 file from terminal the original game launches. if i run the 5.13 file nothing happens. it is working with launching from Steam, but not from terminal or from the client.
i ran the two files after each other. one worked the other one does not. if steam had not been running then the first one would not have worked either.
only 5.09, 4.xx run file generates properly for me. 5.13 does not
@callcifer it is hard to test for long games but as for me:
expect crashes. and test for it. the game is not 100% stable with Wine / Proton. we dont know why.
OK there seems to be some confusion. Here's where I stand.

This is not correct in my experience. Before 5.13 I never had to have Steam running to play FAF. What has changed with 5.13 is that Steam generates a slightly different run file. With 5.0 and earlier the last line of the file ended with:
bin/wine" "${@:-${DEF_CMD[@]}}"
but with 5.13 it became
bin/wine" steam.exe "${@:-${DEF_CMD[@]}}"
So instead of executing SupremeCommander.exe directly with wine, 5.13 instead calls steam.exe which in turn launches the game. That's why 5.13 doesn't work if Steam isn't running. Still, as I've said, you can fix this very easily by removing steam.exe from that line and everything will work correctly.
the game is not 100% stable with Wine / Proton. we dont know why.
Again, not in my experience. I've had zero stability issues with Proton 3.16 and 5.13. The only problematic ones for me were 4.11 (caused desyncs) and 5.0 (caused replay crashes).
I just switched to D9VK how'd you do that?
With Proton 5.0 and above Proton defaults to D9VK instead of Wine D3D9 so you don't have to do anything special. If DXVK_HUD=1 shows you the DXVK hud in game then you are using D9VK. Of course, you can try to force enable D9VK with PROTON_USE_D9VK=1
oh ok if it's default then perfect.
@callcifer i have a Proton 4.11 run file from june and it already had steam.exe in it. bin/wine" steam.exe "${@:-${DEF_CMD[@]}}"
so this is not Proton version dependent. more like Steam version, but even that is unlikely.
and my problem is not "steam is not running" with Proton 5.13.
Looks like my setup broke. Everytime I try to join a game I'm stuck with the FA mouse cursor and a black screen. Pinning Proton to 5.0-10 did not help. And I can't tab out of the black fullscreen window... Any advice?
If you start it from the terminal do you see any error messages?
Also, if you recently installed any updates make sure to reboot as kernel/driver changes can cause problems until a reboot.
@Brutus5000 you could delete .faforever and .com.faforever.client.FafClientApplication in home see if it's not the conf file that's messed up.
if that doesn't do it. regenerate the run file (remove steam.exe like calcifer did)
if that doesn't do it redo your whole FA install.
this is quite weird TBH. never had this. what change happened on your setup before it started failing?
I'm testing new proton 5.13, everything's nominal
Hi everyone, I'm trying to install downlords faf client on linux. But i'm having problems with java installation. When i follow the wiki and install openjdk-14-jre (and do all the other steps) i get the following output when trying to run the client: No suitable Java Virtual Machine could be found on your system. The version of the JVM must be 15. Please define INSTALL4J_JAVA_HOME to point to a suitable JVM. I then tried installing version 15 and setting the env-var with the following: export INSTALL4J_JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-15-openjdk-amd64 I also tried to install the oracle java package (as in video tutorial) but i could not get it to install at all.
I am not very experienced in linux... does anyone know what i'm doing wrong?

Hi everyone, I'm trying to install downlords faf client on linux. But i'm having problems with java installation.
open up one terminal window. first command: export INSTALL4J_JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-14-openjdk-amd64 second command: ./downlords-faf-client
export INSTALL4J_JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-14-openjdk-amd64
./downlords-faf-client
do you do this or something else?
EDIT sorry, the client needs java15 now?
btw i have switched to Windows 10 in this month. im not proud of this. but i had basic stability problems constantly. with my recent set up too: PopOS LTS + Gnome3 + AMD drivers. i dont know why, i have no time to experiment with other things. Win 10 is stable.
so i cannot test the game on linux from now on. if someone wants to update the wiki from now on, go ahead! https://wiki.faforever.com/index.php?title=Setting_Up_FAF_Linux
@foodlfg Thats right, thats what i did and i got the output telling me i need java15. but installing java15 did not solve it unfortunately. I was thinking the environment variable should be different two so i tried changing it to /usr/lib/jvm/java-15-openjdk-amd64 but thats probably wrong.
EDIT: just got it to work. had to use this command: export INSTALL4J_JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-15-oracle
