After some research, i think it's an Nvidia driver deficiency with DX12 games. and apparently this hasn't been addressed by nvidia for almost 2 years? I'm considering going AMD for my next upgrade.
Is there anyone running AoC on linux with an nvidia card? what is your distro/wine/proton setup?
I use a Nvidia RTX 4090, AMD Ryzen 9 7900X and 64 GB Corsair 6000 MT RAM.
For me the game runs relativly smooth... aside from a few lags here and there (nothing to bad).
I use Nobara Linux 42 with the latest kernel (6.16.8-200.nobara.fc42.x86_64) and Lutris (with GE-Proton10-15) to start the game. To install the game I used my self created yaml-file, which you can find here.
4080Super, 9800X3d and 64GB ram. Garuda Linux distro. Tried with your Lutris YAML install and unfortunately that did not seem to help. Still getting booted with out of video memory error after 30 seconds. Starting to think it has something to do with the distro i'm using.
As it started running worse on windows I switch to a 9070XT 16GB and have 0 complaints now.
I'm not too fluent in unix architectures but it might be a wayland issue that it uses more memory due to the xwayland bridge to adapt the game?
For all those checking in with and without the ram issue.
Please send what you got, that might help us figure out what it is.
GPU: RX 9070XT
GPU Memory: 16GB
OS: Fedora 42
X11 or Wayland: Wayland (Use in your terminal)
Launcher: Faugus (Lutris, Bottles, Faugus, Steam etc.)
And any Launcher Configurations you wanna share
Checking the Launcher Logs you might see ERROR|OpenAuth0UrlAsync|The method or operation is not implemented. likely a function only newer WebView2 Runtimes have.
I got it fixed for me by installing the launcher with the newest version. Seems they changed the WebView2 from 140.0.3485.66 to 140.0.3485.81. The 81 now works and doesn't result in the cloudflare loop.
Last night, I installed Garuda Linux (Mokka) to test it a little and see if there was a general problem with it, but AoC ran just as well for me as it did on Nobara 42. Have you made any major adjustments to your OS?
Also updated the first post for new players.
No Major adjustments, it's practically a fresh install from 2 weeks ago. I used the Garuda Dr460nized version.
I now have also tested Garuda Linux Dr460nized version. The result was the same like before. Performancewise it's on the same level like Nobara 42. Overall I had no crashes, no out of memory error or anything like that, after an playtime of ~30 minutes. I again used Lutris with Proton-GE10-17.
Didn´t play for a long time. But there is a thread also on Reddit about this.

I think this is a misunderstanding and Intrepid will revert those false bans. Just contact the support if you are affected and link this thread. This thread is also one of the biggest in views and comments on the whole forum, so I guess there is a big community which is playing on Linux.
