LINUX SUPPORT IS HERE

[BlackYps]

I try to get faf running with gallium nine on Manjaro. So I can't just use the install scrippt. Messing with winetricks like mentioned in tatsu's guide kinda borked the game so i uninstalled that, reinstalled FA in steam, and used the way described in the wiki. I got the Proton Gallium Nine Extras from the github repository and sucessfully installed them in steam. However there seems to be no difference between running the normal proton and running the Gallium Nine version.
Is there a way to check if Gallium Nine is really running?

My launch options:

Code: Select all

PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 PROTON_DUMP_DEBUG_COMMANDS=1 PROTON_GALLIUM_NINE_MODULEPATH="/usr/lib32/d3d/d3dadapter9.so.1:/usr/lib/d3d/d3dadapter9.so.1" PROTON_USE_GALLIUM_NINE=1 %command%

I'm using an intel CPU and an AMD graphics Card.

if you have mesa. and if you're on nvidia, that's only possible if you are on the nouveau graphics driver. won't work with nvidia driver. if you're on AMD you can stay with the AMD driver.

run :

Code: Select all

glxinfo | grep "OpenGL version"


once everything is setup correctly you should get this :

Code: Select all

OpenGL version string: 4.3 (Compatibility Profile) Mesa 19.0.2

I don't think that is related to my problem. I get this returned:

Code: Select all

OpenGL version string: 4.5 (Compatibility Profile) Mesa 19.0.4

But my question is, why is there no difference between running FA with Proton 3.16-9 Beta and running it with Proton 3.16-6 Gallium Nine Extras 0.3.0? I hoped to fix the rendering problems that way.

Edit: I found a useful hint on reddit:

Check whether native Direct3D works:
It's quite simple. As Steam Overlay of native Steam client is OpenGL only, Steam Overlay doesn't work if Gallium Nine is active.

with Gallium Nine enabled I indeed cannot access the steam overlay. So it seems to be running fine. But now I am out of ideas, why the particle effects still don't render on my machine, while it works for other people...

[tatsu]

you need to turn anti-aliasing off.

I tried it but it still doesn't work

@BlackYps
yeh, i have the same experience with Proton Gallium Nine Extras and AMD GPU with basic Ubuntu 18.10 drivers.
it seems to be working but i cannot see much difference.
it might be some lack of implementation on the Mesa driver side (it have to support the directx calls). and it supports it but not fully(?) just doesn't render everything.
i had the same experience with vanilla Wine4.0 that had the Gallium patches merged into btw, not just Proton...

i don't know what's going on.
one thing i noticed that enabling the bloom renderer in the game settings gives you much more effects (but not all).
for example you still won't have the UEF T2 bomber (Janus) napalm effect:

also, pls check that you are using the RUN file that actually points to the Proton Gallium Nine Extras wine.
mine looks like this:

I had a better look at the tread and found that you already stated that you have the problem but for tatsu it works.
Seems like having an nvidia card using the open source drivers is the only way at the moment

I also have the bug with the minimap by the way. But for me it doesn't paint the map green it is more like turning bloom of. Plus the glowing resource icons and strategic icons are not rendered on the main map anymore. They are on the minimap though.

the run file looks ok, i only noticed this difference:

Code: Select all

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="d3d11=n;d3d10=n;d3d10core=n;d3d10_1=n;dxgi=n" \

"resource icons and strategic icons are not rendered"

are you sure you enabled resource icons? just in case.

i don't know about the other ones.

Note that they render fine on the minimap. I really don't understand how this is even possible

It's not really an issue for me, because i normally play without minimap. Just wanted to share this here in case somebody wonders if it's only him.

[tatsu]

what if you turn them off on minimap and on on the main map then turn minimap on and off?
