While not on Linux officially, Far Cry New Dawn seems to work amazingly well on Linux

Not working networking. I couldn't play in cooperative mode with my friend.

Ah - that's a real bummer, thanks for posting! It would be for coop I'd buy this one.

Anyone else had success with networking in this game on Linux?

How are they able to get around easy anti-cheat? I literally
had to patch the executable to get Far Cry 5 to run at all.

It will be nice to see same comparision with AMD graphics to compare how Open Source drivers are doing.

How the hell are they getting better 1% lows? It should be the other way around!

What's going on with the wine build? Sometimes it has similar FPS as windows but 10%CPU load less.

Maybe we're getting to the point where the specifically graphics/gamey stuff is so close we start to see underlying effects from the efficiency, or lack thereof, of the operating system itself, and Windows 10 is less efficient than Linux, or at least whatever specific Linux they're using.

Just goes to show how good DXVK can be if given the chance.

Shame the game is mostly a repaint of the previous one, which seemed better in some respects.

Honestly I preferred new dawn it the story was more interesting and if you want to find out what happens to the two main characters from farcry 5 its all there.

well theres always https://lutris.net/games/far-cry-new-dawn/ and its works

I couldn't seem to get Far Cry 5 to work, so I've been doing the unthinkable and rebooting into Windows to shoot at cult-rednecks.

I main issue with it is that it's quite unrealistic. Nukes blast the world, yet this area somehow thrives because of it.. Seems like an excuse to keep same assets really. Guess I'm just too use to the harsh fallout universe
(even tho its unrealistic also since if such mayhem was going on there would be no humans left!)

This is really cool.

I'd probably still get the PS4 version just because I can sell that one once I'm through the game.

Not that I'm especially keen to do this, but I'm interested in the specific steps needed to run an Ubisoft title, including the Ubisoft launcher from Steam Play/Proton without resorting to Lutris. This type of thing (running non-Steam titles on Proton) has been mentioned before on GOL, so if someone is able to point me in the right direction. Or if someone wants to share (non-Lutris) steps here, it would be very appreciated.

I'd rather wait for Linux port than purchase Windows version, however long that takes. No reason to give developers a leeway to not focus on Linux port.

So never then as its a Ubisoft title and they have no partnership with feral

Not sure what you have against the open source tool lutris but if you want actual wine steps check wine db or http://www.gamersonlinux.com/forum/forums/guides it does use the play on linux tool however it does tell you exact dlls and dependancies you will need to install it on vanilla wine.

Well yes that is certainly true though the reason for thriving world is explained but it is very hand wavey and brief. But cant help thinking if you came to a video game for realism you maybe looking in the wrong place.

30% goes right to valve, so they can support linux and ubisoft sees you play it on linux
