What games do you play on Garuda?

Started playing Kingdom Come: Deliverance. When I tried last time it didn’t work right on Linux due to some CPU problems or something (checked back then, no fix). But today over Lutris it works flawlessly.

Also some Dota2… :smiley:

Doom 2016 likes to run fast.

Now that I can run it (Bard’s Tale 4 loaded instead, apparently fixed by a reinstallation), I’ve been playing the full Baldur’s Gate 3 and having a fine old time.

Yeah, got that on Steam. It would run even faster if it had vulkan api support.

Temtem has been running nicely here =)

Anyone already on 6.6 kernel? how do you feel gaming on it? i feel like it’s getting stuck more often than before

Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood, using a not so legal method.

Baldur’s Gate 3! It runs better than on Windows for me
Switched to Wayland and now it runs in 4k beautifully

Loving my experience gaming with Garuda so far

Steam Proton. Native level support with AMD :
Elden Ring +
Witcher 3 + (DX11)
Rayman Legends +

Picked up a game from GOG that I’ve been intrigued in for a while, it’s called Starsand and it’s simultaneously one of the most chill and tense survival games I’ve played in a long time. Never would have thought braving rolling dunes of sand could be so cozy.

Other than that I been playing through HROT (which sadly runs like pants on Linux) and a bunch of Serious Sam 4. Looking to start my next run of Cyberpunk real soon too!

I’ve been playing the Like a Dragon Gaiden game and Star Ocean Second Story R with 32:9 mods in Proton lately. Enjoying them both immensely, sometimes struggling which one I should play :wink:

Yeaaa… if you’re doing that over Steam you might want to try and hold on to your savegames. They somehow don’t get synced.

  • Watch_Dogs
  • Assassin’s Creed 2
  • Minecraft
  • Garry’s Mod
    Those are the only one’s I’ve tried so far…

After a big update, Baldur’s Gate 3 was giving me wine errors and crashing. This apparently is a Vulkan bug, because it runs perfectly using DX11.

Go into your …Baldur’s Gate 3/data folder and look for ‘PsoCache.pak’ and remove it. Then use the BG3.exe (DX12) and everything should be kosher with Vulkan and work.

It worked! Thank you so.

I think, you can play probably any relevant PC game using latest Wine and not even a dedicated graphics card other than Intel integrated GPU. (I am playing on “low settings” for demanding games, as long as it reaches 30fps and simple HD upscaled to screen size it is fine for a former console gamer like me.)

I am only buying from GOG, because they respect user rights better, and I had no problems with any Windows game I played yet thanks to Garuda’s cutting edge software (Ubuntu on the other hand always had outdated and non-working software packages).

I only had problems with one/two Linux native games yet, Psychonauts in particular. E.g. it did crash at specific cutscenes when the German language was set. I fixed the issues by myself (filename case, controls issue with touch-on-keys-capable keyboards) and few days ago I reported the solution to the customer support.

I am using Heroic Games Launcher which works better than Lutris for me. It updates my playtimes (and probably achievements) on GOG by default.

Gaming on Garuda works great, albeit I feel urged to use my deeper computer understanding in isolated cases. I will leave reviews on the GOG’s game page when I finish games.

I play “Indivisible” natively on Garuda Linux and wow this game works like a charm, is easy to use and so much fun from a gameplay and graphical perspective.
