Add to Wiki: Planetside 2 (ID: 218230) Works but BattlEye doesn't #83

Closed ghost closed 2 years ago

ghost commented 2 years ago

PlanetSide 2 works with Proton 6.3 natively, but due to the version differences of wine-proton PlanetSide 2 can technically launch but cannot be played even with Proton BattlEye Runtime installed due to these version differences.

Launch option needed or else you get a black screen in the launcher: %command% --use-gl=osmesa

You can download the game and use the launcher like you normally would but upon starting the game you will get this error from BattlEye:

18:53:21: Starting BattlEye Service... 18:53:22: Failed to initialize BattlEye Service: Driver Load Error (2).

This should work with a newer version of upstream wine-proton.

yeah new proton build 7 works super with planetside. Hopefully the new version will also solve this issue

ghost commented 2 years ago

I had a lot more stuttering with version 7+ of Proton so for Planetside 2 on Linux I use Proton 6.21-GE. Might work better with some tweaking.

gingerzx commented 2 years ago

Yeah I should try that sometime. Usually I go with the latest GE build which is perfectly fine for me because I'm not that professional max fps gamer.

I won't add this game to the wiki, there are only native Linux titles there. In other news, there is a WIP wine-proton update at https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=263196.

Hopefully the Proton BattlEye runtime will work with that version (I don't see why it wouldn't).
