DRAGON QUEST XI S: Echoes of An Elusive Age How to Play on Linux

Use Proton-5.21-GE-1 – with this the game booted, initialised a save, played the introductory cut scene and booted into the 3D game engine with no issues on max settings.

THINGS I HAVEN’T TESTED:

• Gamepad
• Completing the game (I want to enjoy it so it’s gonna take 60 hours)
• Changing the language
• Changing the music
• Getting past the tutorial (I just wanted to make sure I could play this later)
• Getting new party members
• 2D mode

Basically I’m at the point of the first battle with the initial 3 slimes. Given my experience with other games and the original version of this game, once you actually get into in-game engine you should be fine (this game is fairly un-intensive so there isn’t much to worry about in terms of graphical artefacts)

All in all, this game seems to run just fine under Linux (with Proton) and I look forward to playing this again over Christmas. If you are having issues, please:

• Update your system (including drivers if you are using propitiatory)
• Update to Proton-5.21-GE-1
• Ensure Steam is up to date
• Ensure that the Steam Runtime Library is up to date
• Check the integrity of the game’s files

Have fun playing DQXI, it’s a great game!
