Lutris can be a crapshoot, you never know when it’s gonna give. Have you tried Bottles? That too can be a crapshoot, but a different one (I’m assuming from your comments that you don’t like dedicated game launchers like Heroic or Faugus).
Thanks for the recommendation, I’ve been using it ever since. Loving the port. The dev is fixing things very quickly if you run into any niggles, too!
Yeah, that would be it. I just tested the app on Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order (which is no-to-rious for stutter) installed on Heroic, and it completely alleviated the issue. Haven’t tried other games yet, but based on this one experience, I’d say it’s at least worth looking at if you’re not on Steam.
My Windows friends (cough!) were raving about this - and Digital Foundry had a video about it, too - so I got interested myself. It was nice to see Linux support even if the use cases are more niche than on Windows.
That’s said, testing out the app myself, I just had good luck using this with Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order installed on Heroic. Was stuttering up the butt and it’s gone with the compile. Haven’t tried it on other games yet.
Perfect. Thanks for the tip. Gotta give this a spin!
The problem with Lutris is that even previously working installations can suddenly just stop working. I had that happen with Affinity studio, and now that I tried to reinstall them, the installer script I used no longer works, so I’m out of the whole program altogether. Kind of ridiculous.
