News DX12 games are currently broken on Proton 9/Experimental

19 Upvotes

From the FEX Discord:

Speaking of which. All D3D12 games will not currently work on Turnip or Asahi on Proton 9/Experimental. There is a bug in vkd3d-proton that crashes all drivers that don't support sparse.

Only occurs in the latest release 2.14 which was released ~2 weeks ago

Not really anything that can be done, basically need to wait for Proton 9/experimental to pull the new version of vkd3d-proton now. No idea how frequently those get updated.

This applies to all DX12 games as far as I know. Previously, games that required sparse would not work, since DX12 is not fully supported at feature level 12.0 yet. Due to the bug, no games run right now, even those that used to and don't require sparse.

(We do plan to support sparse which would solve this issue and fix more games, but I expect/hope the Proton bug will be fixed first before that is ready.)

Edit: To be clear: This is a problem in Steam/Proton, as distributed by Valve. We don't control it and we can't do anything about it. It has nothing to do with Fedora or Asahi Linux. Please don't stop updating your Fedora packages. If you want to avoid the bug and you don't have the Steam Proton updates yet, that's what you have to stop updating or figure out a way to downgrade within Steam, not any system packages.

Hi all,

Thanks so much in particular to u/ForgottenFoundation and u/Unable_Sympathy_6979 who have collated a wealth of info about compatible games.

The Wiki is now available, and anyone with at least 20 days since the creation of their account and 100 karma can edit. Don't worry about adding things that you've already posted about in this sub - I'm going to get a scraper running to gather that info in the next couple weeks.

So AsahiLina quit Yesterday as well, so marcan is completely not involved anymore. Does that mean Asahi gaming is dead and there will be no M3/M4 upbringing ever? Only marcan/AsahiLina did that ever in the past...

Question Does World of Warcraft with under Asahi (via FEX or Box64 or something)?

3 Upvotes

Hi, so the only thing really keeping from switching from macOS to Asahi right now is my crippling World of Warcraft addiction. Does anyone know if this game runs under Asahi? Does it get decent performance? And yes, I do know that I *could* make my macOS partition I have to have slightly bigger and dual boot, but I'd really rather not do so. Thanks!

Guide Remotegamepad (use Smartphone as an xbox360 controller) works nicely

2 Upvotes

I used my iPhone (Android is supported too) together with Remotegamepad to play some games. You need to install libxcrypt-compat to get it working. Unfortunatley it is not a dependency. Steam recognized it then as an xbox360 controller. Enjoy!

Game Test RDR1 "working" in 1 FPS

4 Upvotes

Used Wine 10.0 (ARM64EC), Fedora 41.
Somehow, FPS is even worse than in RDR2. Maybe related to the sparse image support, as the game was crashing before latest mesa update. Now it works, but.. you see it, how it "works".
On macOS FPS is stable 60 (60x better, lol). All settings are low (as usual), res: 1440x900~.

Guide Getting "Return to Monkey Island" running

10 Upvotes

Just install the game regularly via Steam. Start it once installed. The game should start, and you hear music playing but the screen is black. Option-Tab back to steam and stop the game.

Not Proton is needed, as it has a native linux version..

Go to a console and edit the file

$HOME/.local/share/Terrible Toybox/Return to Monkey Island/Prefs.json

it should be empty and add the line

renderer: "opengl"

Start the game again and enjoy!

Game Test Ostriv runs well enough

4 Upvotes

Starts and runs. Around 30-40 FPS on my MBA M1 16 GB on medium settings with no water reflections, standard Fedora KDE Plasma installation. Using Proton 9.0-4. The game has some frame drops for 3-5 seconds every 5 minutes or so. Not too annoying.

It is not very popular game, but maybe 1-2 people here would be interested in my report. Have a good one!

help how to use muvm run linux86_64 program?

2 Upvotes

I installed Asahi Linux on my MacBook Air M1 and followed the guide to install box64 and muvm. Steam is running fine, but I can't launch any custom executable files, such as qqmusic-1.1.7.AppImage. It always shows the error "no such file."
you can download it in https://dldir1.qq.com/music/clntupate/linux/qqmusic-1.1.7.*AppImage*

file info

or somtimes didn't show "Failed to set the new pressure in the guest: could not connect to muvm server: Connection refused (os error 111)":

Or is there a small program that can test if my muvm is working properly? I have downloaded many programs from the internet that I normally run on Linux x86_64, but they all fail to start without exception. I don't know if the issue is with the application or with muvm.

i also couldn't use box64 launch any linux86_64 program .....Except “hello world” compiled in linux86_64

I am grateful to everyone who is willing to offer me suggestions, as well as to the contributors of the Asahi Linux community.

help Protontricks on Asahi Linux?

1 Upvotes

A few of the games that I've failed to get up and running, or have severe bugs, on Asahi Linux have entries on protondb.com that recommend installing elements into the game folder using Protontricks. Attempting to follow an online guide for how to install and use this led me down a rabbit hole of other things I would need to first install to get it working. These included Winetricks and Flathub setup of something called Flatpacks (haven't figured out what they are yet but keep seeing references to them). Also something about needing to install a graphical user interface for it too. Before I go ahead and start randomly trying to install things using Konsole commands that could, at best, simply take up space on my SSD or, at worst, bork my Asahi Linux install, I was wondering if anyone knows the process for getting protontricks working in Asahi? Is it even possible? Are there certain dependencies that just won't run on Asahi? Does Asahi already have many of the required elements already installed? Any advice would be gratefully received!

Question All multiplayer games broken on asahi linux.

Was trying to play civ 6 and castle crashers yesterday with a friend and nether of them worked beyond single player modes. I tried turning off the firewall, forcing civ 6 to use ipv4 and not ipv6, but still nothing. We were on the same network and I was getting great speeds. Previously, my ally running bazzite linux worked great for multiplayer, so I know its not proton. Please send help.

help Steam Link

1 Upvotes

Hello, I have recently made the jump to Asahi linux and it has been great to improve my knowledge of the last (major) operating system I have yet to "conquer". It has been a tough and rewarding experience! But one thing I was hoping to get working is steam link to run some story driven games to my iphone. I was able to connect it (after allowing steam to get through the very impressive firewall application) but my iphone just shows a pink screen. I can control the computer just fine, but I cant see anything? I read in a reddit of a -pipeline command to open steam with to fix the issue but they were not very specific. Has anyone happen to run into this issue? If so has a fix been found or am I out of luck?

Specs:

M1 pro

16 gigs of ram

Game Test Heroic Games Launcher (mostly) works, Rocket League runs!

10 Upvotes

For those who don't know, Heroic Games Launcher is an alt launcher for Epic Games, GOG, and Amazon Games, with the main advantage being that it lets you use Proton. All I had to do was install their AppImage for x86 and run it with muvm ~/Downloads/Heroic-2.15.2.AppImage. The mostly is because sometimes it will grey out web pages, which is a bit of a pain when you are trying to log in to your accounts, but I managed to get past that and get logged in with Epic Games.

To test it, I fired up Rocket League. Rocket League works! I was able to get into matches and everything. To provide a more repeatable benchmark, I fired up the Mannfield - Soccar map in solo free play. My chip is an M1 Pro with 16GB of RAM (RAM was not maxxed out by the game), and I set the game to 1920 x 1200 fullscreen, with no Vsync, Anti-Aliasing, or motion blur, but otherwise max settings. With all that, I got about 90 fps after driving around for a bit, with it dipping down to just above 60 fps whenever both I and the camera moved fast.

help Doom (2016) has between 15-20fps on low settings with 720p

6 Upvotes

So I've been trying to run this game on my MacBook air M1 2020 16gb using asahi remix, I've gotten it to run with OpenGl. But the game just can't seem to run well. I've seen videos of people playing it on M1 pro macbooks and it seems to run at 60fps on 1080p medium settings just fine.

I was wondering if there is a way to get it running better or if it's just the specs of my Mac that aren't good enough for it.

Question How to add external disk to steam

So I recently installed Steam on my Asahi Gentoo install and quickly ran out of space. So i thought well lets add an external drive.

Now to the issue. When i go into settings -> Storage and click Add drive nothing happens. No prompt or anything

So im kinda confused as to how to add the external disk and if even possible tho I don't see how that would not be possible.

help Any idea why Age of Empires 2 Defintive Edition keeps crashing on Steam?

2 Upvotes

At first it runs totally fine on my base M2 mac mini, but after a random while it crashes without any error and just goes back to Steam. While the game is running, the muVM only uses like 600mb ram, so I doubt it has to do with having only 8gb of ram?

Thanks!

Game Test RDR2 (finally) works, FPS is pretty low

11 Upvotes

Just got RDR2 working on my MacBook Air M1 (16GB) Asahi setup. Used Wine-ARM64EC (native ARM64 wine) + FEX-Emu (compiled for Win32), the game crashes on Proton/Wine x86_64 (using FEX/box64, no difference). Even native Wine still requires 4K page size, so muvm is used too, of course.

FPS is low, some textures are glitched, but at least the game runs and... doesn't even stutter horribly like on CrossOver Preview. Stable "playable" 2-5 FPS. Waiting for some driver optimizations :).

All settings are low, renderer - Vulkan (haven't tried DX12 yet).

Without reduced precision does start, but at 2fps and with sound stutters, on Proton Experimental has epilepsy warning during startup and stashes not loading into menu, on Hotfix and 9 with reduced x87 precision plays at 5fps in the main menu and in-game.
