In this video I cover how to install and play God of War on Linux using Steam Proton. Step 1. Install the latest GPU drivers. When it comes to installing GPU drivers on Linux, the installation method will differ depending on your distribution choice. For example, Ubuntu, Pop OS, Fedora or Manjaro have GUI tools for installing drivers, whereas Arch based distributions such as EndeavourOS typically require you to install drivers using Terminal commands. https://github.com/lutris/docs/blob/master/InstallingDrivers.md A great point of reference is the Installing Drivers page of the Lutris wiki which covers AMD, Intel and Nvidia driver installation for Ubuntu, Arch, Fedora and OpenSUSE based distributions. Of course, make sure that you only install a driver that supports your hardware, otherwise you might not be able to boot. Step 2. Install Steam. Steam should be available to install using a package manager from almost all Linux distribution’s repositories, and in most cases using a software centre such as Gnome Software, KDE Discover or Pamac. Alternatively, you can install Steam using the Terminal. For example, to install Steam on an Arch based distribution, you would use the following command: sudo pacman –S steam Or for Ubuntu distributions, the following command: sudo apt install steam Once installation has finished, launch Steam using your application launcher, apply the update and then sign into your account. Step 3. Enable Steam Proton. By default, Steam Proton, the compatibility layer developed by Valve to allow you to play Windows developed games on Linux will not be enabled. To enable it, navigate to Steam / Settings / Steam Play and tick both “Enable Steam Play for supported titles” and “Enable Steam Play for all other titles.” This will also select Proton Experimental as the default Proton build, which is what we want. Restart Steam to apply the changes. Step 4. Install God of War. Now that Proton is enabled, install the game as normal and launch once the installation process has finished. On first launch, you will see a window about shaders been complied, which I strongly recommend leaving to complete as this will greatly reduce stuttering whilst playing the game. In terms of performance, I tend to get an average of 80FPS at 1440p High with DLSS set to Balanced, using a AMD Ryzen 5 3600 and Nvidia RTX 3060ti. #godofwar #linuxgaming #proton Social Media Links Discord - https://discord.gg/3SxGk3WG2D Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/Intelligent-Gaming-101640054531594 Mastodon - https://mastodon.social/@Intelligentgaming Reddit - https://www.reddit.com/r/IntelligentGaming2020/ Twitter - https://twitter.com/inspectorgecko
