You can run Genshin Impact on Linux

Genshin and ZZZ have been running fine from the official installer in a Proton Prefix for years now. They use a different anticheat from the two Honkai games for some reason.

I know a lot of you don't care if these games run or not, but really does suck they don't. I've talked to quite a few people that wouldn't switch to Linux because X game doesn't run on it.

Unpopular opinion: these memes always have ‘I am very smart’ energy on Lemmy. The issue is that these companies should support Linux not that your personal taste in video games means it’s a good thing that they don’t.

I don’t play any of these particular games but I have other software that doesn’t run on Linux without considerable effort. So I haven’t switched. My best friend has switched and made the changes necessary and is forever troubleshooting issues.

Idc for any of these games. So yeah, Linux wins.

Is this the kernel-level spyware list?

linux got just a little worse pretty recently: roblox is now playable on it

This is how i find out that they broke Apex on linux. Used to run just fine.

Um, acktchuailley Linux can run Genshin through An Anime Launcher.

Runs Genshin impact: ✅

Runs the launcher: ❌

It works pretty well on proton. It's just the launcher that doesn't. So you need to update using a VM or windows, then run the exe instead.

It's been a while though, and I haven't tried playing it since before the volcano update. I think star rail is the same, but Honkai Impact 3rd doesn't work, even in VMs

Runs BF6: ❌

Well, good that my ol pal rimworld works like a charm

and it runs mafia the old country, which doesn't have multi player crap or microtransactions, so yeah, absolute win

You can use https://launcher.moe/ 's software for Hoyo games btw. The top one is the one for Genshin Impact.

Though last I installed Genshin on Linux I remember there being a slight chance of getting banned because you had to disable the anticheat to run it on Linux, but I never had it happen to me and I'm not sure if that's still valid.

Warframe - Linux: ✅️

Conclusion, Linux wins.

Huh. GTA online used to work fine? Did they update that?

Everything I can find tells me Genshin has been running on Linux for three years. Haven't tried it though

Quite a few of these games are in geforce now and geforce now has an official linux client now

GTAO is pretty fun if you carefully dupe money all the time. I come back to it occasionally.

I miss peak Destiny 2 tho. It was the only reason I dual booted for many years.

Ah man Xbox got SO close though.

Oh well, soon it won’t run at all…

jokes on you, i only play video games that is made by a atleast "Decent" company,not made in a slopware engine like Unity,unreal?(the engine isnt bad itself its just the company,also includes the middle ware it uses if the middle ware is also usable by free software too,made by a company with good track record or heavily modified),doesnt do kernel level anticheat,moddable in some way.
