I have been using Solus for a week, thanks for the Steam Integration so much!

I had a bunch of Steam games not working or needing to do fixes that I had to look all around the internet, and those I know I had to do fixes on game files or installing libs I rarely played or was a pain.

Last week I installed Solus and Steam integration and it's so good! Those games run when I press play, I was surprised to see it running with no fixes I even gasped.

Thanks Solus, for the gaming and all around care that the team have on the Distro, I came from Fedora and Arch and will not go back if it continues this awesome. Everything works so well!

Just a quick post, have a good day you all!

That's been my experience as well. Unless a game flat out has an issue with AMD hardware, looking at you divinity original sin, it just works.

Nope, I wish though.

Yeah I feel you I also have AMD and to try to play that game is boring to get to work, not hard but "oh lets do it another time" then never play.

Fortunately, there's plenty of other games to play. Just started CrossCode tonight.

I just ditched Windows 10 for Solus Budgie last night and I've been impressed with the results so far. Unfortunately, out of all the native Linux games in my Steam library, I cannot get CrossCode to run at all. Is there anything from the repos that I might be missing which CC needs?

I checked my install, I don't have any launch modifications or anything in place. You've run all the updates for Solus? Just on the odd chance, do you have Chrome or Chromium installed?

Noctyrnus•

I haven't played it recently, got hooked on neon chrome and helium rain, but I'll fire it up and see tonight. Have you tried launching it from terminal?

Which games did you have issues with?

Mainly CIV 6, I think it has a memory leak problem. Rust is laggy too.

Is the issue resolved now that you’re on Solus? I’m on Solus Plasma and it works great. Played about 10 hours of Civ 6 straight lol

Frankly I bougth it on a sale and played it twice. After that I got bummed out by the performance, bought Stellaris and never touched it again. If you, fellow solus user say that it plays nice maybe I'll try it again, cheers.

Mount and Blade Wardband is one on all distros, Day of Infamy had some problems using diff versions of the Steam on Arch, etc.

Mount and Blade Warband works on Solus? I bought it on sale and couldn't play it (I was on Arch at the time). I just assumed it was a general Linux issue. Guess I'll give it a try!

You had to get some sound libs, qt libs and edit some files for the mod selection to work, and on Arch both were on AUR, you had to restart it was a pain to find the right way to do it what to get aaargh. On Solus I didn't do anything haha.

I also love gaming in Solus! Recently I have had a few issues though :/ Borderlands 2 and Borderlands pre-sequel seem to crash on occasion, which results in the entire system being locked up, meaning I have to restart my computer. I have issues with Dying Light not starting. I wish I knew what was causing the problems...

Are the games you playing Windows games?

No I only play native Linux, just some like Mount and Blade Warband that has some libs problems on a LOT of distros worked out of the box on Solus.
