    How to install FAF on Linux, Wiki start here:
    https://wiki.faforever.com/index.php?title=Setting_Up_FAF_Linux#Install_using_native_Steam

    If you are a visual type, you can watch this video as well:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rv3ZXA4FNFk
    Instead of Oracle java, you can use sudo apt install openjdk-14-jre too. It is the repos.

    And make sure you watch this thread!

    RE: Linux Support

    well lets simplify this:

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

    @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.

    hehe funneh!
    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.

    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.

    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.

    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?

    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!

    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

    do you do this or something else?

    EDIT
    sorry, the client needs java15 now?

    RE: Linux Support

    @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.

    @callcifer
    it is hard to test for long games but as for me:

    • Proton 5.09 - 2x long setons games, 2x crashed at 30min
    • Proton 4.11 - tested today with palying a 1+ hour long setons game. worked fine and it worked back then too.

    expect crashes. and test for it.
    the game is not 100% stable with Wine / Proton.
    we dont know why.

    RE: Linux Support

    @tatsu said in Linux Support:

    guys that happens if you close steam.

    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
