THE GAME IS FULLY PLAYABLE. I'VE COMPLETED THE MAIN STORY CAMPAIGN AND AM
CURRENTLY AT 34% TOTAL COMPLETION OF THE GAME.

4 weeks ago

Instability:Occasionally

So far I've found two spots where the game will consistently crash when flying
an airplane. First one I found was during a challenge race, and second one was
at the end of a faction mission. Both were still completable, athough for the
challenge race I had to be a bit creative with the route.

Tinker Steps:Switch to older version: 8.0-1, protontricks


d3dcompiler_47




The initial run of the game will just show a black screen. Force quit the game
and install d3dcompiler_47 via protontricks. After that the game should just run
from Steam with no issues. I didn't have to add the -dx11 flag or install any
other components via protontricks that some other reports mention.

That being said, I was just focusing on getting the game running and didn't play
very much after a few minutes to verify things were working so there may be
stability issues. I was playing with the Steam Deck docked to a monitor usinga
mouse and keyboard so I didn't have to remap any controls.

Something to note is that occasionally the game seems to overwrite a required
file. After exiting the game and re-verifying files, it will sometimes note that
1 file needs to be redownloaded. It doesn't seem to affect anything but if the
game fails to launch, try re-verifying the files.

IT RUNS SMOOTH

Tinker Steps:Switch to experimental, protontricks


protontricks 8190 DLLs d3dx10 d3dcompiler_43 d3dcompiler_47




Not sure why Valve can't add something to fix the DLLs issues on Proton, maybe
there's some legal issues (sorry i don't know about it). The game starts with
Blackscreen with normal Proton but using Protontricks and the DLLs that are
necessary to work it fixes the issues, so i would say this game runs perfect,
it's just the DLLs that gives a headache to everyone else.

ONCE LAUNCH OPTIONS ARE SET GAME RUNS WITH NO ISSUES AND FEELS MORE STABLE ON
LINUX UNDER PROTON THAN IT DOES UNDER WINDOWS 10 OR 11

Tinker Steps:Custom Proton: GE, Set launch options


/dxadapter=0 /borderless=0 /dx11



Windowing:Other

Game starts but stays on black screen or sits at initial Just Cause splash
screen without launch commands.



Game runs better under Linux with Proton than it does under Windows. Far more
stable with no stutters or graphical glitches. Game plays completely maxed out.
Does require listed launch commands but for someone with even basic knowledge of
Steam should know how to insert those commands.

Launch the game one time in Game mode, and then go into Desktop mode to set up

SOLVED!...I tried all the various methods below but still no luck, i even
re-installed it multipls times but it still refused to start ( either a
permanent blank screen or it briefly showed the just cause 2 load screen but it
would then reset back to steam library). Whilst searching the web i stumbled on
this solution by u/Twisked which worked perfectly: install the latest version of
Proton, anything after 7-24 should be fine, (others on this thread have given
instructions on how to do this) Then go to the just cause starup screen and
before clicking on the start icon, go into the settings 'cog' icon and click
compatability and set it to your latest Proton you just installed. Then whilst
still in the settings, click on the Properties tab on the left, go into local
files and click 'verify integrity of game files' Let it run through this and you
should see an error with one file, when it appears to finish press B to go back
and start the game and you should now find it runs perfectly.

Tinker Steps:Custom Proton: GE, Set launch options, protontricks


/dxadapter=0 /borderless /windowed /dx11 gamemoderun ./game DRI_PRIME=1




Installed d3dx10, d3dcompiler_43 and d3dcompiler_47 via Protontricks


Input:Lag

Moving the mouse causes a loss on FPS's, unrelated to hardware, very weird.
Fixed chaning DPI to lower numbers, more details on my Steam guide.

Significant Bugs:

Initially the game did not even open.



Here's an in-depth guide on how to fix Just Cause 2 for Linux (Pop!_OS):
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2893202652

Summary:

-Use Proton Experimental. -Install ProtonUp to download and install ProtonGE.
-Select ProtonGE on "Compatibility" on the Steam settings for Just Cause 2.

Then if this did not work.

-Install Protontricks and open it. -Select the game "Just Cause 2", then click
on "Select the default wineprefix", then on "Install a Windows DLL or component"
and locate the following. -"d3dx10" "d3dcompiler_43" and "d3dcompiler_47"
-Install those (I think you can also do it by typing ""protontricks 8190 d3dx10
d3dcompiler_43 d3dcompiler_47").

This worked to open the game correctly, but then it crashed on loading screen.
Here's how I fixed it:

-Enter on "Advanced Display Settings". -Disable "Decals". -Disable "Bokeh
Filter" if it's available for you.

Then when I tried to move the mouse in-game, the FPS's went terribly down. From
60 to 10 or lower. The game ran fine while I was not moving the mouse, so it was
kind of unplayable.

-Fixed it lowering the DPI levels.

Just Cause 2 definitely runs terrible on Linux, this is how I managed tu play it
but it took me much more hours than it should have.

Tinker Steps:Other


Launch the game, see the black screen, wait for a minute, terminate the game,
verify files integrity via Steam, it will re-download one file, then launch
again and see the game's intro video.


Performance:Significant Performance Problems

Default graphics setting are too advanced - Deck doesn't sustain stable FPS. Had
to decrease everything to medium.

I MANAGED TO RUN THIS GAME ON POP!_OS AFTER DOING THIS (+STEAM GUIDE)

10 months ago

Tinker Steps:Custom Proton: GE, protontricks


Installed d3dx10 d3dcompiler_43 d3dcompiler_47 via Protontricks


Significant Bugs:Yes


Here's an in-depth guide on how to fix Just Cause 2 for Linux (Pop!_OS):
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2893202652

Summary:

-Use Proton Experimental. -Install ProtonUp to download and install ProtonGE.
-Select ProtonGE on "Compatibility" on the Steam settings for Just Cause 2.

Then if this did not work.

-Install Protontricks and open it. -Select the game "Just Cause 2", then click
on "Select the default wineprefix", then on "Install a Windows DLL or component"
and locate the following. -"d3dx10" "d3dcompiler_43" and "d3dcompiler_47"
-Install those (I think you can also do it by typing ""protontricks 8190 d3dx10
d3dcompiler_43 d3dcompiler_47").

This worked to open the game correctly, but then it crashed on loading screen.
Here's how I fixed it:

-Enter on "Advanced Display Settings". -Disable "Decals". -Disable "Bokeh
Filter" if it's available for you.

This is how I managed to run this game.

Took me a while to figure this out, but playing around with the game's issues on

Battery Performance:Made Changes To Improve

Ran with 8 Watts TDP



It runs perfectly on the Steam Deck as long as you launch with -dx11 and use
GE-Proton for compatibility (I started with GE-Proton7-27 and later switched to
30). Without -dx11, you will experience very frequest freezing/crashes in my
experience (IE: every 30 minutes or so). I was able to play a new save file from
start to finish with these settings with only a few crashes total in 40 hours.

Game features some Nvidia-exclusive effects that can be activated with
PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1; currently, using such effects will crash the game.

In-game Borderless Windowed works, but with a few rows of black at the bottom of
the display when it's enabled.

In-game framerate cap does not work, so recommend using stranglevk 60 in launch
options to prevent physics bugs. Will noticeably increase load times as a
result.
