Not everyone uses *buntu :-)

The respective package is also, at least, available for Arch and Fedora.

My comment was meant to be taken with a pinch of salt (hence the smiley)! I was simply making an gentle observation that not everyone uses flavours of Ubuntu/Debian and that other distros have different ways of doing things with different commands (e.g. zypper and yum).

My distro even comes with a link between apt-get and zypper for those who forget!

Total Annihilation is my all-time favourite RTS, too! Glad to see that Gilbert is coming over to the Linux way of thinking.

Quoting: fleskI'm also having the crash on launch with Nvidia graphics that is mentioned in the article, and I have no idea how to enable Vsync. The game works well with Intel graphics though, although only on low graphics settings, which doesn't look all that great. Still enjoying the game a lot so far though, and I've just gotten into the city.
It's should be a clearly labelled option in the main menu.

But when it crashes on launch, how do you even get to the menu to enable it?

Go to ~/.config/Epic/BASS2/Saved/Config/LinuxNoEditor/GameUserSettings.ini and add the value bUseVSync=True under [/Script/RevUtil.RevUtilGameUserSettings]

Currently playing The Bard's Tale IV. A really-good Skyrim-like RPG with many puzzles and good battles!

So many driver versions! Would anyone suggest that I am still best to use the 440.66.17 version if I am regularly using Steam with Vulkan games?

You still need to apply some unofficial patches if you want to use kernel 5.6 or 5.7 though. I've just done this on my Tumbleweed system and the drivers installed fine.
