Black Desert Online (BDO) does not have an official Linux client, but you can run it on Linux using Wine, Proton (Steam Play), or Lutris. Heres how: Option 1: Steam Proton (Recommended) If you own BDO on Steam: Enable Steam Play: - Open Steam Settings Steam Play. - Check Enable Steam Play for all titles. - Select Proton Experimental (or latest Proton version). Install & Play: - Install Black Desert Online normally via Steam. - It should run via Proton automatically. Note: Some users report Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC) issues. If the game fails to launch, try: - Switching to Proton-GE (GloriousEggroll's custom Proton). - Checking ProtonDB for tweaks. Option 2: Lutris (Non-Steam Version) For the standalone (Pearl Abyss/Kakao) version: Install Lutris: Download a BDO Lutris script: - Visit Lutris BDO page and install a community script. - Follow the prompts (Wine/DXVK will auto-configure). Option 3: Manual Wine Setup Install Wine and DXVK: Install BDO: - Download the Windows installer from the official site. - Run it via Wine: Post-Install Tweaks: - Use DXVK for better performance. - Set Windows version to Windows 10 in winecfg. Performance Tips Proton/Wine Version: Use Proton-GE or Wine-Staging for better compatibility. DXVK/VKD3D: Enable for DirectX 11/12 support. EAC Workarounds: Some users report success with PROTON_EAC_RUNTIME (search ProtonDB for latest fixes). GPU Drivers: Ensure youre using the latest Mesa (AMD/Intel) or NVIDIA drivers. Known Issues Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC): May block Linux players (check AreWeAntiCheatYet?). Performance: Slightly lower FPS than Windows due to translation layers. Launcher Crashes: Some users need to run the game directly via .exe. Alternatives Shadow Play: Stream via GeForce Now/Shadow PC if native performance is critical. Dual Boot: For optimal performance, consider keeping a Windows partition. Would you like help troubleshooting a specific issue? Let me know your setup (GPU, distro, etc.)!

Great raids, some bugs

The new raid content is fantastic with challenging mechanics. However, there are still some bugs that need to be ironed out. Overall a solid expansion that keeps me coming back for more.
