And it's enabled. Big thanks! 🙂
Hey, I'm not really into emulators and compatibility layers at all, so please be patient with me. Does Apex Legends for Steam Deck mean there is also going to be a specific version for Linux PCs? Is the version for Steam Deck a universal Linux version of the game or is it specifically for Steam Deck only?
What I am trying to get to is: Will there be official Linux binaries for PC at some point (e.g. a Linux version on Steam), or will there still be a compatibility layer required to play the game?
Hi @MatoruNSG ,
I can confirm that while using Linuxmint, I can play Apex Legends on Steam. This is a bonus added to the Linux communities thanks to the launch of Steam Deck and Epic EAC on Linux being used in the game new patches. Therefore, this is true since 1st March 2022 that Apex Legends can run on Linux and in Steam Deck. (Before this is just hopeless since Epic's code break WINE at some point and causing EAC banning anyone using WINE to run Apex)
I still could not find any Lutris script that I could run the game with Linux, or find any other method running the game outside Steam Play. (This may change since EAC for Linux is now available. However, if we already have a solution in Lutris, please kindly enlight me to the direction.)
And EA / Respawn is unlike to write any official patches / game scripts for Linux to run Apex on Linux natively. Currently, the only way for Linux to run Apex is through WINE.
I am not sure if this has answered you question, but so far this is, or what I believed to be the case, the current situation for Windows games that trying to run on Linux.
Hi @MatoruNSG ,
I have to switch off Vsync as I did to Titanfall2 on Linux to remove the lagging at the screen.
When the game first loaded, I also experienced some lag like it is trying to load something at the start of the drop ship sequence, but then the game run just fine.
