Adding my +1 to this as well. New World is the only reason why I fire up Windows anymore, aside from my need for IT education, but I can run that in a VM from Linux.
IMO having a large company like Amazon/AGS supporting the move to allow more Linux based games/programs hit the market will definitely increase the chances others may follow suit; whether by just allowing the game to be ran on Linux w/o support, or porting to Linux with full support.
Also wanting this SO MUCH! Bought a Steam Deck so I don’t have to have a second laptop for gaming while I travel for work. THIS IS MY MAIN GAME! Please make this happen!
Here to chime in aswell, Recieved the dreaded “Upgrade to windows 11 now” and got tired of microsofts bullshit. I already use linux for everything other than gaming (until now) and decided it was time to go full linux now.
All the games i play actively (almost all) work very well with linux, and in many cases better than on windows.
Now i already own new world and deffo want to play it. PLEASE amazon go through the honestly pretty low ammount of work to enable proton support for EAC.
I expect this to take some time before it is even tried. I will continue to test NW with Proton experimental and the latest stable release on every patch and post my findings to ProtonDB and that thread.
Thanks for pointing this out. I realise that there quite a few issues to fix at a rapid pace. I’m content for now knowing that it’s probably somewhere in their backlog rather than it just not existing in their backlog.
