Haha, what a crazy coincidence! I had the original cyberpunk last year on windows 10. It was glitchy as hell but ran semi decent on my hardware.
Deleted it, and last night just installed phantom liberty.
Ngl, the gameplay and feel is so far 10x better than it was before the update. It's actually complete now and if you hated it before I'd honestly recommend another try as so far I'm actually sort of enjoying the gameplay whereas I hated it before and only played for the story.
Anyway, my issue is that with all of the updates it's not running anywhere near as nice as it was before. I'm having to run it on the lowest resolution with every graphic option disabled which stinks because with the gameplay being fixed somewhat I'd really like to enjoy it graphically as well.
I've installed Ubuntu dual boot on my ssd before and can do that again but any tips? I wouldn't know about where to even get phantom liberty on fedora or how to install it?
What did you play it on before? If steam you just have to change a dropdown and it should just work
If gog or something else you should just add it to steam as a non steam game and change a drop down and it should just work
I can definitely add it to steam as a non steam game but which drop-down? Would be awesome if this worked, thank you!
Oh and I played it exactly how I'm playing it now but not on steam, heck idk I just have a cyberpunk icon I click to open it on win11, I don't open it with steam or anything but will try for the dropdown
In the games properties under compatibility first you click a check box that says "force the use of a specific steam play compatibility tool" and then in the drop down below that select proton experimental
Oh! You're talking about getting it to work on Linux sorry I was so confused. So I can use the same cyberpunk setup.exe on Linux or do I have to download a different one? This is great news didn't realize it would be so simple
Yes, you can use windows installers on linux, Lutris and bottles provide different UIs for that, some prefer one or the other
There's also heroic launcher (even for windows iirc) for an alternate launcher for Epic games (amung others)
Personally what I tend to do is use one of those for installation, and run it through steam to play it, there are other ways, but I like the Steam UI and controller customization
Also if you are considering fedora and you want to try it for gaming, I just want to recommend nobara, it's basically Fedora just with some modifications for gaming
It occurs to me that if you aren't installing it through steam it might be slightly more effort becouse you can't use a windows installer without something to run the .exe, steam should work for that too, but so would something like bottles or Lutris
Not sure we're on the same page, I have installed it and it runs, just not as smoothly as it did before.
But you're talking about something having to run in the background to emulate steam since I've installed from elsewhere, correct?
How could I use bottles or lutris?
I wasn't sure how you were installing it, if you were using something like a gog installer lutris for example could handle the installation for you, but sense you have it installed that's irrelevant
steam runs natively on linux though so no you wouldn't have to emulate it or anything
Without knowing more I'm not sure about the prefomance though, and I'm not an expert, but if you are dual booting it might have something to do with the file system you are using, I've not messed with dual booting before so I can't be sure, and I wouldn't know how to fix it either
I'm sorry, I've been confusing myself in the comments haha thought you were advising about how to get the windows version to run better now realize we're on Linux sorry!
So lutris is for running windows .exe on Linux! Good to know, and no I'm not dual booting yet just windows 11 just considering install Ubuntu/fedora or something to dual boot with and running cyberpunk from it instead of win11, or just going back to win10 and seeing if it helps
