skol 28 Report post Posted June 10, 2018 (edited) As we have a decent number of Linux users in the community, I would be great to collect the experience, for which distros/configurations it could be managed to run VintageStory. Please share in the comments your working VS linux configuration in the following way: Distro / Kernel release : Ubuntu Studio 16.04 LTS / 4.4.0-127-lowlatency Mono / .NET package version : mono-complete 4.2.1.102+dfsg2-7ubuntu4 Graphics driver version : NVIDIA binary driver 384.130 (proprietary) Works for client, mp server or both : client + multiplayer server Installation method used : server.sh Hacks (if needed) : server.sh needs at least wget version 1.17.9 (not in the standard repo of Ubuntu 16.04) Update as of 8th of March 2020: From a bug report it looks like mono 4.2.1 is not sufficent any more, even for a server only!

Rhyagelle 18 Report post Posted May 22, 2019 (edited) Vintage Story Version: 1.9.6 Distro / Kernel release: Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS / 4.18.0-20-generic Mono / .NET package version: Installed mono following guide here (version installed is 5.20.1.19) Graphics driver version: (AMD) Padoka Works for client, mp server or both: (clientside tested only) Installation method used: mono Vintagestory.exe & install.sh* tested (both work) Hacks (if needed): Following the guide here resulted initially in various openal32.dll, OpenTK.dll and libopenal.so.1 errors that depended on each other. The installation would error out and drop a non-working shortcut on the desktop. The fix was to install mono-complete, ca-certificates-mono on top of mono-devel and install libopenal1, via the commands: sudo apt-get install mono-complete, sudo apt-get install ca-certificates-mono, and sudo apt-get install libopenal1. Execution of mono Vintagestory.exe completed without error after that.*Also worth noting is if you got the mono method working but the install.sh doesn't work (e.i, the desktop shortcut isn't work) and you'd like to avoid heading to the game directory to use a command to launch the game every time you wish to play, you can create a simple sh with the mono Vintagestory.exe command in it, save it to desktop, and have it act as a "launcher" itself. See spoiler for more details. Spoiler This "hack" is for people who couldn't get install.sh to work and thus have no shortcut to work with and do not want to open a terminal to play all of the time. To create the sh script, open gedit and paste the following in it: #!/bin/bash cd path/to/vintagestory/install && mono Vintagestory.exe Save it on your desktop as Vintage Story.sh or whatever you want to name it, but be sure it ends with .sh. Also make sure that you get your path set correctly to wherever Vintage Story is installed (for example, mine was installed to home/USER/ApplicationData/vintagestory) and that the start of the file has "#!/bin/bash" in it without quotes. Next, execute this command in terminal. What it does is allow .sh (scripts) to be executed by double clicking them or by right clicking them and selecting run, rather than opening a terminal and cd to a directory or prompting for the .sh itself. It'll allow you to use the script like a shortcut to the game, so you don't have to use the terminal.Terminal Command: gsettings set org.gnome.nautilus.preferences executable-text-activation 'launch' Next, right click the Vintage Story.sh you saved to desktop, go to properties and then permissions and check the box next to execute. Close it. Double click the .sh and the game should launch provided the actual game installed for you without a problem. Enjoy. Finally some system related information from the testing. The game runs exceptionally well, better I think than it does on my Windows machine.

Rhyagelle 18 Report post Posted May 2 I've decided to jump from Ubuntu LTS to Manjaro KDE Plasma. I loved the dark unity it comes pre-installed with, and the clean UI, and how everything just seems so much simpler and elegant. It has made things so much easier. The first few things I did was install games and prerequisites, and that included Vintage Story. I was amazed to see an AUR package! Very cool. Vintage Story Version: 1.12.14 Distro / Kernel release : Manjaro Linux / Kernel 5.4.35-1-MANJARO Mono / .NET package version : mono (6.4.0) Graphics driver version : amdgpu Works for client, mp server or both : -n/a- Installation method used : vintagestory AUR package Hacks (if needed) : None CPU: i7-8700k GPU: RX 570 4GB Average FPS: 60 Minimal FPS: 42 I'm going to test other drivers, but for now it runs smooth as butter. Still better than on Windows, too. I also tried downloading it myself and opening it with mono, and that works too. (just wish there was a way to keep FPS display up, rather than just in the pause menu. It would really help with tracking performance) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
