My computer infomation:

OS:ubuntu 20.04 x86_64bit
CPU:i7-10700KF
RAM 96GB(of course, 4GB is enough; I have another work issues for that)
GPU:Nvidia GT720

Preface: Why I choose Linux Ubuntu?
of course, there won't be any problem when you use Windows
If I remember, Ubuntu is a open-sourced OS with several functional command/apt/etc for that, and it is free.

The success for proton in steam leading me to be curious about how possible the ubuntu can be. Therefore, UWO, which I played for recently and deeply, is the test target I want to see.

#

Approach:
1.In steam
You can just use proton to open,
there might be no problems.
(for some FPS issues, I've tested in L4D2 and found that I didn't use terminal to open steam. You should open your steam by inputting ''steam'' in termial, and it will be opened.)

2.By executable
in my region, I can't even find UWO in my steam shop. The only way I might open it is through UWO official website, clicking download, and using executable to extract UWO things.

However, neither wine or steam proton can't open the exe file I've download, so I've copied the whole UWO files to my USB and extract them to Ubuntu desk.

Now I have two way to run executable:
(1)using wine
I've updated my Wine to 9.0.0 and using command wine ~/%dir%/GVOnline.exe -opengl and found the problem:

failed to initialize gamemon. try to reboot...
I'm trying my best to find the problem solution(ongoing)

(2)using steam proton
by adding UWO in steam list, we can use proton by setting it's compatibility to proton(8.0.3)

the problem is directx, which always executing on windows OS.
I'm finding my way(ongoing)

Never get lucky to run online games on VMs or Linux... Usually because the anti cheat.

I will follow this thread too... Btw, I'm running on AMD GPUs, the new APUs 8000G are really good promise if the driver works well... And it's working very well for discrete GPUs

I now thinking is that my graphic card is not good enough to support the whole game

#

I "probably" would buy a new one?

Gamemon is about game guard if I am not wrong. So the problem there is with the anti hack software and not with the game itself.

it can be talked for issues nowaday

#

But I'm not planning for day around

I didn't have much luck with wine/proton either, the game seems to work ok in a very basic VM though - i noticed gpu is not really required, although it does lag a bit around st petersburg without so it may be a nice to have

I think I'll post some error codes here, and we can talk about them.
(I have googled them too, but the information websites giving is too few for me)

I have been able to get UWO running on Linux with very little work around

#

If anyone is still interested I would be happy to make up a guide or something

#

I'm glad and willing to hear about that 🙏

I have little time to deal with that nowaday
