Grim Dawn Linux Guide (Updated: 3/2/2016)

And … it works … i’m surprised it’s that easy to fix this issue, really!

Note: “gameoverlayrenderer” isn’t on the list so i typed it and then edited it to disabled. Went as far as the game menu when testing it and stopped there: will have to go to work in under 30 minutes and i really must get ready for another day’s work, so no time to experiment further.

Worked for me too. Thanks for finding that!

Edit: tanks Blaizor!

Don’t thank me: thank Blaizor.

OK I found the solution to the game not launching and having a stack overflow.

In my Grim Dawn prefix I added ‘gameoverlayrenderer’ to the overrides and set it to disabled.

Game launches as normal now.

But it’s good to know it works for others as well.

Is anyone else getting texture flickering with dxvk? I’m using wine-staging 4.0 with dxvk 1.0. It almost looked like the old HKCU/Software/Wine/Direct3D/CheckFloatConstants issue. If so, is there a workaround that isn’t using dx9? (Nvidia 1050ti, 418.30)

I get flickering too on AMD hardware - I’m just resigned to DX9.

Foo. Here, I was hoping there was some setting to tweak. I can’t produce the flicker reliably, either. I don’t think it’s this issue: https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/issues/405

Luckily, I’ve gotten the game running flawlessly with Proton, but has anyone gotten Grim Internals to work with the game?

Just so you are aware Grim Internals apparently only works with the x86 version of the game currently. As for if it will work under Linux, regardless, I don’t know.

Thanks for the heads up, I’ll keep trying to get it going and if I do, I’ll share my results!

Has anyone gotten mods to work in the Steam version of Grim Dawn?

Which directory are they installed to?

[beaverusiv]

The directories for Steam Proton:

~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Grim Dawn/
~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/219990/pfx/

I haven’t played with mods for GD yet, other than GrimInternals. For more information you can look at the Github thread for GD:

I get the linux version run smoothly with Grim internal latest version.
Thanks
(I also posted this

for how to add it add steam games)

Just so you folks know, I’ve updated the GI thread to have setup over Proton in Linux. It works.
