Lutris & Black Desert Online: Installation Guide Lutris is a popular open-source gaming platform for Linux that simplifies the installation and management of games, including Black Desert Online (BDO). Below is a step-by-step guide to installing and running BDO on Linux using Lutris. Install Lutris First, ensure Lutris is installed on your system. Ubuntu/Debian-based distros: Arch Linux (AUR): Fedora: Install Dependencies Ensure Wine and necessary dependencies are installed: Install Black Desert Online via Lutris Option A: Use a Lutris Installer Script Open Lutris. Click the "+" button and select "Search the Lutris website for installers". Search for "Black Desert Online". Choose the latest script (usually from the official BDO website or a community-maintained version). Click "Install" and follow the prompts. Option B: Manual Installation Download the Black Desert Online installer from the official website. In Lutris, click "+" "Add locally installed game". Configure the game with: - Wine version: lutris-ge-proton (recommended) or a recent Wine-Staging build. - Executable: Point to the BDO launcher .exe. - DXVK/VKD3D: Enable for better performance. - ESync/FSync: Enable if supported. Post-Installation Tweaks Disable Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC) workaround (if needed): - Some Lutris scripts apply patches to bypass EAC (not recommended for official servers). - For the official version, ensure EAC is properly installed via Wine. Performance Optimizations: - Use DXVK (Vulkan) for better GPU performance. - Enable ESync/FSync in Wine configuration. - Set CPU governor to "Performance" (sudo cpupower frequency-set -g performance). Launching the Game Run the game from Lutris. Log in with your BDO account. If the game crashes, try: - Switching to a different Wine version. - Disabling gamemode (sudo apt remove gamemode if installed). - Running in Windowed mode first. Known Issues & Fixes Issue Solution EAC not working Try lutris-ge-proton or Wine-Staging with EAC support. Low FPS Enable DXVK, disable in-game overlays. Crash on launch Install dotnet48 via Winetricks. Black screen Switch to Vulkan (DXVK) or disable fullscreen optimizations. Alternative: Steam Proton If Lutris doesn't work, try installing BDO via Steam Proton: Add the BDO installer as a non-Steam game. Force Proton Experimental in compatibility settings. Run the installer, then locate the installed game and adjust the path. Conclusion Lutris provides the easiest way to run Black Desert Online on Linux, but performance may vary depending on your hardware. For best results, use DXVK, a recent Wine version, and ensure proper GPU drivers are installed. Would you like help with specific troubleshooting? Let me know!
