    well lets simplify this:

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

    RE: Linux Support

    @ZugDuk
    from which version to what version did you updated btw?

    it is not that important tho. just download the client from github, extract and play, no need to update.
    https://github.com/FAForever/downlords-faf-client/releases/tag/v1.2.1

    i just did it and it works.

    just support monopolistic giga corporations with you everyday life decisions.
    that are cannot be controlled by society at all. in fact, people are exposed to their decisions. they directly associate with corruption. it makes sense.

    RE: Linux Support

    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!

    RE: bug: "hotbuild / build builders" only builds T1 facs

    There's not a native way to have the same hotkey do different things based on the level of the engineer selected as far as I know.

    almost every hotbuild shortcut do this. taking into account the engy's level. the whole hotbuild stuff is not native to the game but the game's LUA scripting system is flexible and allows this kind of things.

    RE: bug: "hotbuild / build builders" only builds T1 facs

    @Exselsior
    i dont want one hotkey to cycle through every single level
    i only need the highest level support factories.

    bug: "hotbuild / build builders" only builds T1 facs

    keybindings / hotbuild / build builders
    this only builds / cycles through T1 factories. 😧

    when i select a T2+ engy, i would expect it to build a T2+ support factory, not a simple T1.

    in other cases the most advanced building the engineer can build is offered (first).

    RE: Linux Support

    lol this is in the script:

    This game is just weird
    Please reimplement in Spring engine

    i had more problem installing spring on linux than FAF btw.
    random crashes even. random crashes even on Windows. lol

    @SlowHands89
    i

    • installed Vulkan tools for popos/ubuntu because otherwise i would not have gotten Vulkan support
    • used Proton 4.11
    • and i enabled the Vulkan translation for proton (it is not enabled by default in this proton version). more about this here: Solution 2
      https://wiki.faforever.com/index.php?title=Setting_Up_FAF_Linux#Performance_issues

    with this i could get a stable game (45min+). but only with Proton 4.11. nothing else worked. and i have an AMD GPU

    @szopacniger said in Linux Support:

    work on Steam then the run file itself should be good no?

    no.
    the run file is for debugging originally.
    Steam probably doesnt use that when you launch the game from Steam. or it issues other commands before calling it. i dont know exactly.
    and i dont know why it creates different run files for different versions of proton either. 😕

    the game was working for me from Steam too. with every Proton version.
    but the run files did not work for never versions.

    @tatsu said in Linux Support:

    On another note I'm getting another issue.

    it is not another issue.
    i have mentioned this here before. the run files that Steam generates for newer proton versions dont run the game. the content is different. you can test this easily in terminal with ./your_run_file.

    probably Ubuntu LTS and Steam does not play well together.
    Proton 5.0 run file was working for me i think, the newer ones did not.

    RE: Linux Support

    what if you start a terminal and type:
    export DXVK_HUD=1
    export INSTALL4J_JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-15-oracle - the usual
    ./downlords-faf-client - the usual

    this should work and you should see the fps numbers etc if you are using Proton 5++. Proton 5++ versions have Vulkan translation enabled by default. so probably you are ok.
    but anyways, even with OpenGL translation, it should be faster.

    unrelated
    but i see someone modified the wiki to use oracle jdk.
    is that ok? i mean open jdk was not good? im concerned about that oracle jdk is not accessible from every of the linux distribution repositories.

    @szopacniger

    takes about a minute to put me into the game and similar amount of time to close the game after I hit exit.

    strange.
    did you use the PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 flag in Steam before you generated the run file?
    without it, it is slow.
    probably it is not it. but i have no other idea. the loading wasnt really slow for me.
    it may also be a network problem. when you have to connect to other players via the faf server.

    as for the replays, same, no idea but make sure you close the game before you start a new replay. can you post the error message?
