Brutal Legend

Good fun game but choose Windows version

I tried both Linux and Windows versions. No matter what I tried in the Linux version, the performance was noticeably ( graphical smoothness aka stutter-free experience wise) worse than the Windows version even using wine/Lutris within Linux Mint 20 cinnamon. Also in the Linux version I purposely played through some until sometime just after you meet the dark haired girl companion and it completely locked up my system for no reason. Thus I stuck with the Windows version Both wine's newest versions 7-17-20 of stable and staging were installed from winehq's official site. rx580 8GB vram sapphire nitro+ vid card 4790k cpu 16GB of 2400mhz ram 1440p 144hz monitor Linux Mint 20 cinnamon 64 bit Mesa version 20.1.3 Vulkan 1.1.31 ( using command in terminal without quotes "vulkaninfo | less" Lutris setting specifically for Brutal Legend Windows version- ( user = what you named your linux pc) --- Game options --- Executable is /home/user/.wine/drive_c/GOG Games/Brutal Legend/BrutalLegend.exe Wine prefix is ~/.wine --Runner options-- Wine version is System (5.12) (staging)) ...I installed this from within the wine menus under Game Info and selecting the " install runners" button to the right of that section.. Use System winetricks is enabled Enable DXVK ( which honestly I don't know if this is needed or matters yet) Enable Esync is turned on/enabled ---System options -- Default installation folder is /home/user/Games ( note I created this Games folder. Unsure if it really matters where it is installed but I would guess it does. Chris Titus Tech on youtube is a great source of linux gaming help. Restore Resolution on game exit is enabled Restore gamma on game exit is enabled Enable ACO shader compiler is enabled Enable feral gamemode is enabled Nvidia gpu? I haven't room to talk there yet. Ensure your proprietary driver is installed and working correctly first before installing wine and this game as well as Lutris. Hope this helped. Cheers \m/
