Steam/proton/wine/worms armagedon:D

Matthew45 · Wednesday at 1:19 PM

As i finaly got my system to run properly, and informed myself what to expect in case of gaming..i also red, that some games work on FreeBSD. So i installed steam, and set LSU Chroot with proton 8, as suggested..Game starts, but never reaches UI, it just stop loading, and falls back to desktop again..Does anyone know what to do? I have nvidia rtx2060 so turin it is..i know that game is older, and it should somehow work on BSD..Is there any particular way, to get it working, or this is by design righ now? Also im using X11 (should be better for worms) I tried wine protocol..but same result..Second thing is, after installing linux-discord it now brings me pop up update window..and blocks steam from loading. update offers only .deb packages of course,and blocks discord from running, and i didnt find a way to avoid that. Any kind of help will mean a lot to me..Cheers!!

I don't remember ever recommending that and, in fact, I specifically mention that it lacks wow64 support (which means it won't run old 32-bit games).

If you're going to try, try with 14.x, 15.x doesn't have the 32bit libraries needed and I haven't personally seen any way of getting it to work.

Same here, and I'm sure that the support will be there eventually, I can't imagine that it's as hard to do as it was to get the original support for 32bit binaries.

I really hope so..this OS is so polished and smooth.

I think it will, Steam itself has to go fully 64bit eventually, so some combination of Steam going 64bit and the situation here resolving itself will likely lead to that. I was rather surprised by just how good the support for the games I was playing had gotten on Linux.

You are absolutely right, it is just matter of time. I want to believe not if, but when variant

Yes if linux got so much support i dont see why FreeBSD shouldnt. It really dosent have to cover all the titles out there, but one part of it should be enough (anyway i play one max 2 titles and thats it). And FreeBSD keeps improveing too. And now when i ditched linux and liked what i saw i really dont want to go back

. This is whole new level of stability and speed. I actually thought that i would never be able to configure FreeBSD from scratch, cause i always used graphical installers. But as it turns out it isnt too hard.
