Linux Game Client?

I for one am interested. If DXVK refuses to even look at it, why don’t we look for an alternative? I’m just digging into the FiveM docs now. If an alternate library can work or there’s some other method i hope to find it. I’m not going back to windows.

DXVK is now available on Linux, so I hope this could be possible in near future. I have in plan to move completely to Linux and this will be a bonus if FiveM client will run on Linux soon.

… what? ‘DXVK’ always was ‘available on Linux’ as it was literally meant for Linux.

It still doesn’t implement shared resources, however.

I would like to revive this topic as DXVK has added support for shared resources, and the client now works on Linux without the anticheat. With the only obstacle blocking linux users from playing FiveM being svadhesive, I’m wondering and or hoping that the community could come up with a solution for this. I know FiveM probably will never officially support Linux, but it would be nice if a solution was implemented for the svadhesive for wine/proton users.

Hi @DaBestServerOwner , do you know how it works please?

Because I tried via wine, via proton. I couldn’t get it to work, and it gave me an error message saying that wine doesn’t support insecure mode:

Cfx.re: Insecure mode

The game is running insecure mode because Wine is not supported by the anti-cheat components at this time.

Most servers, as well as some authentication features will be unavailable.

If you have the answer I’m interested.

Thanks in advance.

There is currently no solution to this, the game client will run okay and you can play FiveM SP or play on a server with anticheat removed and authentication disabled. Cfx would have to update the anticheat / authentication for everything to work properly.

It also seems the Cfx Team does not have any care for fixing this as the docs state that " The FiveM client cannot run on Linux due to no support for shared resources in DXVK." even though DXVK 1.10.1 came out 2 years ago with support for shared resources and the game client itself runs fine through Wine now. This PR to update the docs to reflect that and re-open the issue from 2 years ago has also been ignored.

Even with rockstar backing they’re still too lazy to allow Linux support. It’s not happening chat

Yeah, hopefully this thread at least gets noticed so that Cfx can fix their documentation and at least make a statement about Linux.

I am curious to know what you mean by “fix their documentation”, what’s missing? And if something is really “missing”, why not PR?

Read the above comment by Tommy141x. In short, the documentation claims that Linux isn’t supported because of DXVK limitations, which no longer exist. And a PR to correct this statement in the docs has been ignored for 2 years.

I’ll notify the person in charge of docs. Thanks.

FiveM works on Linux via Wine, but there will likely never be support for it from Cfx due to various difficulties with working with anti-cheats via Wine.

Closing this topic to prevent further necro bumps.
