  You can play Roblox through Sober

    Sober is awesome, and I can actually have Roblox LAN parties with my son thanks to it.

  I believe Destiny 2 also doesn’t work. I just don’t play it anymore lol

  I play a lot of Space Engineers, and it randomly crashes… No idea what’s causing it.

  And Space Engineers 2 just doesn’t launch for me.

  There’s likely a config option that could fix things, but I don’t know it.

  Every other game I play is fine.

    You know about protondb already? Gives a good list of potential fixes if you come across issues, it’s been a godsend on the rare occasions something doesn’t work first try

      I know. Tried a few things from that site, but no luck on SE, and SE2 is under active development so I’m waiting on it for a bit.

        Fair, good luck with it. Just had to figure out that a drive from a windows install was causing huge permissions issues and any game installed on it wasn’t executing. Sometimes the problems can be really obtuse.

    Have you changed which version of proton it uses? It’s in the compatibility options for the game, sometimes going to an older version solves some issues.

      For SE2, it’s likely a version issue. But that game is under active development, so I’m waiting on it.

      For SE1, well that one is a bit of a mystery… It probably isn’t. I have a few mods.

    Check the Lutris website, there may be a custom install script there

  Not too surprisingly, you can add League of Legends (another Riot games title) to the list. While I’m not a fan of kernel level anticheat, I do love most of these games, and it’s really frustrating how I don’t see any change in the future. After more than a year of struggling, I finally managed to get my Mint working (turns out my old mobo was faulty), but it looks like I will still have to keep Windows for basically all multiplayer titles I play.

    really sucks that League doesn’t work . . . I know some people who play and the fact that it used to work just sours the pain.

    I guess, at least Dota 2 works? I know they are very different, but I’d say similar enough and worth a shot so long as one isn’t too tied to LoL.

      Thanks for the tip, I should give it a try. I’m not sure I still have the energy to invest months until I start to understand stuff while sucking and losing all the time, but I will get there eventually.

  Rocket League as well; it’s the only reason I haven’t gone full Linux for gaming.

  …you’d think after 8+ years of playing I’d be bored, but it’s just fun.

  • Muffi@programming.dev ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    Rocket League works on linux? Unless something changed recently, because I used to play it on my Steam Deck all the time.

    • bridgeenjoyer@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      Rocket league is inside fortnight now.

      Basically they want fortnite to be a complete (malware) gaming package with every game inside it sp youre tied to epic.

      • kat_angstrom@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        Fortunately it’s still up on Steam for us (few) legacy players

        Heroic Launcher (frontend for Epic Games Launcher) also worked for me on arch linux

    Try wine bottles, Im using that for games on Linux Mint, havent found any issues yet. You may also need flat seal to make it accessible outside the flatpak environment.

  The distro really matters as far as Roblox goes. I tried Arch, Manjaro, Garuda and couldn’t get it working. Ended up back at Ubuntu and it works fine now

    For Roblox you have to use Sober
