I’ve been seeing a few of this type of post, so I decided to share mine. Now, you might be wondering “why the heck is this guy posting his steam playtime chart in a Linux gaming community, when most of it is windows?”
Well, that’s because Linux is part of the chart. Last year it wasn’t. Just like all previous years. However this year, even if late in the year, I have playtime on Linux.
About half a year ago I built my first PC with Linux in mind from before getting the parts (first time I knew I’d be using predominantly Linux from the start). I still have my windows disk because I haven’t got round to moving all the files from there yet, so its still formatted as NTFS and just mounted so I have easy access. I havent booted it since building the PC. I havent needed to. Sure I cant play Destiny 2 or Apex for example, but ehh. Never really played Apex much before anyway, and I’ll live without destiny 2.
Heres to 2024 being 100% penguin, or at least being far more than windows 🍻
While it technically works it has massive issues.
After every patch I can play 1 match. Then I get kicked because some random file has a version mismatch. From there on the game will not let me back into the lobby screen because of version mismatches.
I’ve tried deleting the proton prefix, reinstalls on various ssds and hdds, different proton versions…
And it’s definitely an Apex issue since a ton of other EAC games work just fine for me.
The only thing that actually works reliably is booting to Windows and playing it from there for me.
