Wuthering waves works on linux?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

I opened the gaming on linux page for wuthering waves and its marked as broken

I personally just managed to install the game but with my minimal effort attempt it does not actually work
(installing the exe from their home page and then adding proton ge 10-8 & SteamOS=1) Maybe needs the steam ww install but i dont have enough time to download a 60gb game

SteamDeck=1 runs it it seems with proton-ge

Well, under GE Proton, presumably.

Is there an easy way to depict which version of Proton you should use for games based on age or even a site that maybe knows which games work best with which versions? I've found experimental to work on some, while not working at all the other day when I tried CounterStrike 2. Proton 9 worked fine with that though. I've seen some suggestions on installing with a different version than when running a game, but I never know if they just tried going down the list and then just stopping at one that worked.

Edit: Also in something like Lutris, if it works using the standard wine configuration, I usually don't alter it to proton, should I be for better performance?

www.protondb.com is a good resource to see whats working for other people

Thanks, bookmarked!

I've set Lutris to use GE-Proton-Latest as thé default Wine configuration. I do believe you might have some performance improvements over the standard Wine config.
