I suppose there's no chance for native Linux port of the game.
Any luck with running it under Wine? ProtonDB and Steam users report no sound or other audio issues.

Waiting to buy this if native Linux support is made available.

Saw the thread on Linux port locked by moderator on steam. My guees is that it is either Linux support is not coming or is planned way. way down the line.

This game is off my wishlist.

The Gog version works fine, I downloaded it and installed in a new prefix with vulkan.
The actual update failed because of a missing key.
I try to install it completely new today in the evening :-)

It works great for me in Linux (steam's Proton 4.2 / Mint 19.3 / 1050 Ti). I have sound, music, and 30 FPS+ with medium-ish graphic settings at 1920x1080. You probably need vulkan + current Nvidia drivers installed in linux. I think it would probably run with a regular wine too if you don't mind fussing with DXVK and audio stuff.

To set it up, I downloaded the offline installer, and used proton to run the setup.exe (this creates the prefix too).

# Change the compat path to where ever you want to store the game
export STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH=~/games/medieval_dynasty
mkdir -p $STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH
# Change to the directory where you have downloaded the offline installer
cd ~/Downloads
~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Proton\ 4.2/proton run setup_medieval_dynasty_0.6.0.5_(64bit)_(48157).exe

(Ignore the install errors that happen at the end.)

Then, to run the game, I made a launcher that runs this script. (Note that it's using wine, not proton, to actually run the game. "proton run" doesn't work for me)

MedievalDynasty.sh:
-----------------
#!/bin/bash

export STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH=~/games/medieval_dynasty
GAMEDIR="$STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH/pfx/drive_c/GOG Games/Medieval Dynasty"
cd "$GAMEDIR"
~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Proton\ 4.2/dist/bin/wine Medieval_Dynasty
-----------------


Hope that helps someone, have fun!

Had issues with a lighting bug with regular wine, but changing to DXVK fixed that and gave me a nice performance improvement, too.

That would be great if we could have a native version :)


If you use Lutris, it will install and run the game just fine. No tweaks needed on my side.

Lutris uses the lutris-7.2-2-x68_64 Wine version. It also creates a dedicated wine prefix to install DXVK, the game, and its dependencies.

Sony's DS4 controller works great, except there's no in-game button/axis configuration, so it is necessary to set a SDL_GAMECONTROLLERCONFIG environment varaible in Lutris game tile system options to remap sticks and/or buttons.
