JDK (or rather JRE) 11 is still default but you can of course choose which version to install.

foodlfg

well lets simplify this:

sudo apt install openjdk-14-jre
use: 1.2.0 client

left_boy

Gonna release 1.2.0 as soon as I get the motivation to get out of bed XD

left_boy

Or not but soon

BigMamaMurder

@foodlfg It doesn't matter anymore - the new client wants 14

left_boy

yes it does

left_boy

My game crashes as soon as the game starts:

Maybe I should quit windowed mode but how

left_boy

Ok ignore the top one I selected a broken map

left_boy

When I try get the lobby back in full screen mode the game also crashed LOL. Seems like the game as a lot of issues on linux. Who told me I should try linux XD

left_boy

I think it was working before I put it in windowed mode? Where is that stored how can i revert this. I tried deleting game.prefs but that had no effect

tatsu

it doesn't sound like you're using proton's run file

did you add this to steam's launch option for FA ?

 PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1, PROTON_DUMP_DEBUG_COMMANDS=1 %command%

the PROTON_DUMP_DEBUG_COMMANDS allows for the creation of a run file under /tmp/proton_$USER/

you copy that file to you faf install dir and point to that file as the run arg for FA.

@foodlfg can you please edit this video into your OP

left_boy

Of course I have the script I copied it and I also set the options you are talking about. I am almost sure I did everything correctly. And it also worked. Till yesterday when it stoped working and I think it might be cause I am now in windowed mode. And also in the Exceptions the error is ralated to the window mode.

I only have no way of changing the window mode cause that crashes it as well

tatsu

just delete the config file and re-run from steam. yeah windowed mode doesn't play ball on linux, which is kinda funny because fullscreen mode doesn't play ball on windows.

remove / delete the game from the Steam library and reinstall it, i guess.

usually the game works fine with one monitor + fullscreen
(of course, why would anyone use windowed mode with one monitor...).
if you want to do two and windowed mode, then experiment with it. :))

ok, i did.

however, i dont really like you chose oracle java.
it just complicates stuff for people.
and if some player has oracle setup and another one has openjdk setup, it makes harder to debug stuff.

tatsu

@foodlfg Yeah I mean in the video you see me hesitate a while for which to choose. I'll add the command for openjdk (sudo apt install openjdk-14-jre) as an annotation and in the details of the video. could you remove the comment about the oracle thing and add that command instead.

it's not as if I don't leave that choice to the user all over the video.

even at the .desktop file edit part I say "this part of the path is what you replace with 'openjdk' if that's what you installed"

tatsu

@Brutus5000 I know it's late but, your guide :
