Linux Port – Feedback, Known Issues, and FAQ

@Taza Have you tried launching the game with Wayland windowing, aka:

Code:

SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland %command%

And just to make sure that you are running the native Linux version, have you un-ticked the Proton compatibility thing in the game's properties?

 

Guys, I appreciate your help. I rebooted and it now works with the native resolution lol. Non-native resolutions don't apply, even after switching to wayland. Current situation is still better than 720p

 

I seem to be able to use fullscreen just fine; running with `mangohud ./BinLinux/BeamNG.drive.x64 %command%` under niri+wayland.

I am testing some ugly (as in mostly vibe-coded) custom plugin to get OpenTrack (neuralnet tracket) working with the native build: https://github.com/TheSkipopCompany/beamng-opentrack-native

Seems to be a decent start, but that warrants way more testing.

 

Vulkan doesn't yet support this on any platform

 

That's interesting. I'll try it out.

 

Did you happen to do the alt+enter keyboard shortcut like on windows to make the game fullscreen?

This seems to be bug the game when doing so.

but glad its works!

 

Why do I have two beamng configs on linux ?
If I launch on steam or directly in the apps, the game is different : different mods, different settings
On the Steam version, if I want to navigate in the game files, it gives me an ugly emulator but if I do it from the other version, I have the normal file navigator app
I tried to take a config from the direct version to the steam version as a ziped mod, and it didnt work
I tried to copy it directly in the game files (bad idea) so it broke my ibishu bx
Anyone know how to help me ? And if someone can give me a copy of his or her bx files (dont know if it works) I would be grateful
Sorry if someone already asked for that in the thread

 

Steam is launching the windows binary with proton. Make sure you don't have a compatibility layer active for Beam. See this:

 

Hello, I am a new player, and a new linux user, how to set this up pls? thx

 

1. create folder /home/USER_NAME/.local/share/BeamNG/BeamNG.drive/current/mods/unpacked/opentrack
2. put inside contenst from github you posted
3. start game and enable mod inside game mod manager
5.profit
ps. there was no 4th point

 

Curious, any way to have my mods folder on my mounted HDD (where BeamNG itself lay)? My SSD can only take so many files before the juice is loose.

 

yes
on linux symlink is enough
