18 hours ago Also just want to add this here while i've been experimenting, the game by default ran stupidly stuttery, loading screens took around 10 minutes on average, but I managed to fix this by setting the wine version to 9.20/9.21 (staging) in lutris and enabling Virtual Desktop, this makes alt-tabbing a chore as stuff that isn't stalker seems to fail to render properly however the game runs as well as it does on windows for me now, with the catch that I have to restart the game every 15 or so loading screens cause it tends to freeze up.
I managed to get the game working just by using a VM to use grok's launcher in since he recently updated to get around the moddb security issues everyone has been having at the current time, as far as my testing goes, DX9 works as intended, DX10 is not supported by gamma devs so it just hands me a black screen on savefile load/creation, but DX11 throws me an unhandled exception with no other details besides telling me to look at the log. Anomaly dx11 works fine, but over in gamma it crashes shortly after the small splash screen fades away. I've seen no mention of what DX version to use in any talk of gamma on linux, I don't know if DX11 is just not figured out yet for gamma linux and everyone is running DX9, any advice from anyone would be appreciated.
