I’m just curious I’d anyone here has successfully run arc raiders on Linux. If so what OS are you using and what was the setup if there was any?

Yep just played for an hour on endeavouros using Wayland/hyprland
The game is listed as ‘Platinum’ on ProtonDB: https://www.protondb.com/app/1808500
I’m on CachyOS atm, and the setup just required hitting the install button. I’m gonna be honest, this game runs incredibly good, even on my laptop. I’m getting well over 100fps stable, and I’ve got it on High settings with DLSS on Quality, but framgen off. I’m gonna test it for a few more matches, then see if I can crank it to Ultra and turn DLSS off.
it was also just Steam Deck verified.
For how good the game looks, it runs amazingly.
It’s mostly good art direction than cutting edge tech.
Been playing it since beta test on Bazzite. No tinkering just click install and play.
I’ve been playing it the past few weeks with no issue, I’m on Garuda Linux with Hyprland. I have a 7900 XTX. The have runs at a consistent 100fps for about 2 hours then I start to get frame hitches where I drop down to 40. Just restarting the game fixes that issue for me.
Arc raiders is steam deck vetified, so it should run great on Linux.
I ran into a tiny problem while playing it in Linux Mint. The game would freeze after a certain ammount of time, but increasing the max_map_count to that oft the steamdeck fixed it. (Mint has a really low default one)
Now its running without problems.
EndeavourOS. Zero configuration, zero issues, solid 120 FPS on my rig and about to hit 50 hours. My default is Proton Experimental.
Same here but 80fps. It’s been a great time.
EndeavourOS, ProtonGE.
Zero issues since server slam.
Some people report crashes but it works for me on GE Proton 10-24. On Arch btw.
I’m running it on Bazzite, and it mostly runs great.
I’ve been dealing with a bug that has apparently been around since the beta, but it’s not Linux-specific. Sometimes, the game crashes due to a corrupted file. Verifying the install from Steam fixes the issue, but it seems to pop up randomly. I’ve had days without issues, and days where it happens 2-3 raids in a row.
I’m on arch and it works great
I have been having crashes consistently on Linux that I don’t get on windows, personally. But seems more like a me issue as most people say it runs great.
Iv only been hearing people having issues if they are on mint, pop or other out of date distros. Fedora and arch based distros seem to never have issues with arc.
Are you using GE-Proton?
I had stability issue with Proton and Proton Experimental.
Yes I have been using Proton - I have tried Hotfix, Experimental and the default one. Haven’t heard of Ge-Before is that something separate?
Ah.
GloriousEggroll keeps a version of proton that uses all of steam updates plus additional updates made by the community (to fix odd issues) and protonfixes (a database of scripts to make the weird game-specific configurations you need to make sometimes). I use it exclusively because I’ve had issues with regular Proton. I think the default Proton versions are still version 9(or there’s an experimental Wine 10 version). GE-Proton10 is using Wine 10, so it has support for native Wayland and HDR.
Your distro probably has protonup-qt in its repo. It’s a GUI to download and install various community proton versions. Just run it, click install new version and grab the latest GE-Proton10-(28?) and restart Steam and it’ll show up in the list of Proton versions that you can pick.
Have you tried to increase/check the max_map_count ? That fixed it for me.

Ill give this a shot again but I think I tried this and it didnt sem to help though its been awhile now so Ill give it a go again - thanks!
It works fine.
Arch
The setup was install it and press play.
I did add the ENVs for HDR.
If anyone knows an easier way to manage all of my steam game’s wine versions and command line arguments, lmk
Arc Raiders runs flawlessly on Linux.
Arch.
No steps required.
Protondb exists for a reason.
It’s Steam Deck verified, no need to check ProtonDB.
