Palworld is a new release on Steam in Early Access from Pocketpair. A fusion of Pokémon with monster catching, farming, building and much more. It is Steam Deck Playable and does work on Desktop Linux too.
From epic freebies? I got it running by just installing vcrun via wine tricks button in heroic launcher. Steam games usually install these at first launch behind the scenes.
i find that i have this sort of issue often with pirated games, sometimes they don’t automatically install those like Steam does, but its the same fix as Windows.
you can simply run the .exe installer for VC on the same prefix, exactly like you would do on windows, so not any harder at all.
@helenslunch@umbrella A lot of Windows games need vc runtime or other libraries installed on the system.
Steam users got this managed from the installer (also in linux) but if you install it manually from the game installer chances are that the installer may not manage their dependences.
On linux world you can get a lot of oresets using lutris btw
in any case you can download it from microsoft and run it to install.
OR, to make it simpler some launchers like heroic offer an option to automatically install it, it should be under the option winetricks or similar. dunno if thats your case tho.
Yeah, plenty. Look up on ProtonDB for games work Silver or lower total rating. A lot of the “borked” ones are due to anti-cheat, but there are still plenty that just don’t run well. I keep a collection on Steam of games with technical issues, so I could list a few that didn’t work well for me.
But there are way more that work well on Linux. It’s pretty rare for a game to not just work, even if it is marked “unsupported” on Steam. But there are enough that it’s an issue people will run into.

Xbox cloud requires a controller, which kinda defeats the purpose of playing on PC imho.
That said, it DOES work well if you’re into that kinda thing. I tested it out with MS Edge installed via flatpak.

Yeah I was pretty disappointed when I realized that. Oh well.
are there any games not running easily in linux these days?
i mean apart from games with anticheat blocking it.

oh, most games need visual C runtimes nowadays.

i never had to do this for original games on any os.
windows needs this sometimes if you pirate, so does linux.
