DCS on linux: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 23:19, 3 December 2022

DCS can be made to run on linux. You will need to use either wine or proton.

Using Wine

This is most useful for those who are on standalone. You can use Lutris to make installation easier. https://lutris.net/games/dcs-world/

Using Proton

This requires that you have your games on Steam.

As of October 2022 the following steps are confirmed to be working on Kubuntu 22.04:

Enable compatibility mode for DCS in the properties by going into the compatibility tab and enabling the tickbox in the settings. Choose Proton 7 or Proton Experimental as the version

Go to the General tab, and set up the following launch options:

WINEDLLOVERRIDES='wbemprox=n' %command%

DCS should now start up normally.

If you get an error with compiling the shaders during startup, you can use

protontricks 223750 d3dcompiler_47

to fix that.
