Iv'e been trying to get beamng to play using steam play or wine but I cant seam to get it to work, iv'e gotten to the splash screen but thats it, I know theres already lots of threads about this and I know people have gotten it to work, I just need some help getting it to work in linux with steam play or wine
I'm using Proton version 3.16-7 beta but i'm not sure what graphics driver i'm using. --- Post updated --- My driver manager says no proprietary drivers are in use.
Do you have an Nvidia or AMD card? You should install the right drivers & that should hopefully fix your problems
I have an AMD iGPU --- Post updated --- AMD A8 6410 with Radeon R5 graphics --- Post updated --- I can't figure out how to update my drivers
Probably the old graphics driver (or none, even) is your cause for BeamNG not working with Steam Play. You need to find a way to get the drivers for you card on Linux & that should be it. Can't really help you much, as I don't own an AMD card
Because you're hosting a laptop with integrated equivalent graphics which are already built into Linux mainline and not powerful enough for beamng as is
But I still play Beamng in windows and can run it at 10-15 fps which doesn't bother me too much, I still enjoy it, unless performance in linux would be worse
depending on how much CPU overhead you have available with that GPU, you might not notice a performance difference. Personally, I lost about half of my vehicle simulation performance under Proton, while GPU performance wasn't notably affected, apart from being even more noticeably cpu-bound in some areas. idk if mint uses standard-ish debian repositories https://wiki.debian.org/GraphicsCard
Funny thing...I kind of completely wiped my hard drive tryna reinstall Linux, I'm just gonna stick with playing beamng on windows --- Post updated --- The mod I was making is now gone too
