Title^

Helldivers has been on my radar for a while now and I was wondering what should I expect

Since I dropped planetside I’ve been looking for a “main game” to fill the void

All I really know is shoot bug and if you aren’t getting friendly fired to hell and back you’re playing wrong

It’s a great game that respects player time and money, and since we’re on Lemmy (land of the FOSS folks) I’m also gonna throw it out there:

It works on Linux under Proton. 🎉

It does? Considering gameguard barely works with amd cards I'm surprised.

I can’t speak to all systems or configurations, but my desktop is Arch-based with the Nvidia 535 driver (a few versions old, I’m still waiting for the explicit sync driver support), I run the game through Xwayland (no gamescope), and I’ve been using protonge 9-2 as the compat tool. The game runs really smooth in my experience, and on protonge 9-2 I don’t have issues switching windows/workspaces.

I do run the game in exclusive fullscreen— I recall the window having a single white pixel border in borderless fullscreen.
