j4y_z Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 So guys, today Steam released the Beta of their new version of Steam Play, which brings a modified version of WINE (called Proton) plus a new DirectX compatibility layer implemented using Vulkan. Any chance we can still play FM19 on Linux, then? https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2018/08/valves-steam-play-uses-vulkan-to-bring-more-windows-games-to-linux/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
matisptfan Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Obviously no one knows at this point, but I think the best you could aspire for would be to use it at your own risk without SI providing any support. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
j4y_z Posted August 22, 2018 Author Share Posted August 22, 2018 I was not asking for support, I was asking for an educated guess. I tried running Company of Heroes half an hour ago, which ran perfectly. Also, there are reports that loads and loads of games work flawlessly. https://www.reddit.com/r/SolusProject/comments/99ek36/steam_play_compatibility_list_sheet/ So there might be a very good chance that FM19 will run, if you ask me.

Hovis Dexter Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 @j4y_z Thank's for the post. I didn't know about this. Maybe I will be able to buy FM19 now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurf Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Thought it already ran on Linux??? Pardon my ignorance, but never explored this before now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FM18 and the last few editions do. FM19 won't though - SI have said that the costs of development and support for the platform are far higher than the revenue from Linux users playing.

Smurf Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Ah didn't realise it was dropped for FM19! Surprising! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FM started Linux support when Steam was pushing it alongside their Steam Machines. When that project turned out to be a total failure and there's still nearly nobody gaming on Linux it's not financially viable to continue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurf Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 I was on the cusp of going ubuntu this year. Glad i didnt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
j4y_z Posted August 27, 2018 Author Share Posted August 27, 2018 So, as it turns out, the unofficial compatibility list is still constantly updated by the Linux community. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DcZZQ4HL_Ol969UbXJmFG8TzOHNnHoj8Q1f8DIFe8-8/htmlview?sle=true# Currently, FM18 is listed under "New Entries" tab and is being described as "Stable" with a "slightly reduced framerate". (see line 78) This makes me very optimistic about FM19 on Linux. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hovis Dexter Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 There's an article here about Steam Play which, amongst other things, tells you how to make sure you have the latest drivers installed. https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/linux-steam-play/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
