Beam.NG not starting in Linux

When I try to start Beam.NG, I get the following: There is no valid render system available. It is possible that your hardware/OS does not meet the minimum requirements. Here's my GPU: NVIDIA G84GL [Quadro FX 370]

 

wait wait hold on BNG doesn't run on Linux

 

I know, but have you heard of Proton?

 

your graphics card does not support DX11

the current versions of beamng only supports DX11, if you want the run the game at all, you'll have to use an older version
to do that, you can go to the properties tab of beamng in steam and select the dx10 version in the beta tab

 

Just found it. Do you think i'll get good FPS on the Quadro? ;p

 

probably not, it's more than 10 years old at this point and it's way below the minimum requirements of beamng

if i were you i would get a new computer or at least upgrade the hardware, beamng requires decent hardware to run, and a computer with a graphics card that old probably wouldn't run it very well

 

You need windows to start beamng drive

 

You do not actually. There are some ways, that involve third-party software like Proton or Lutris.
--- Post updated ---
The game itself however, focuses only on windows, and does not support linux or any other OS. Not natively.

 

Just adding for anyone else wondering about Linux...

Ran the game under Proton the other game, got an error the first time I tried to launch but worked perfectly after that. Definitely noticed a reduction in FPS compared to windows but didn't do any thorough testing.
