Crappy Laptop + Linux

I have to head up North to the Old Country over the weekend for a family emergency.

I’ve decided to take my crappy old laptop with me (i3 6100, 8GB RAM, Intel HD GFX) that runs Linux so I can at the very least login to keep my daily streak going.

I fired up Enlisted earlier on it, but the game crashes out hard after less than a minute. It’s full of D3D and Vulkan errors.

I eventually managed to click the dailies button before it crashed out, and it seemed to register, thankfully.

I’ve gone into the config file and reduced whatever settings I could find to Low (from Medium).

Is there anything else I can do to make the main menu stable, even for a minute or two?

I don’t need to play the game, just login. Any ideas here from our Linux/Potato PC folks would be really helpful.

Thanks in advance. :slight_smile:

Get the devs to remove the reset on daily logins…it should always be cumulative in order to get the anniversary name markers…log in for 365 days, get it…I take vacations. I’ve been playing for 1.5 years and my streak was just reset to 86 after the"unplanned maintenance".

That doesn’t help at all. It’s not like I have any sway with the devs.

Really? Even as a Forum Moderator? How about with Community Managers…they might. I feel for you not wanting to lose the streak…It’s ridiculous that we do.

It’d be nice if forum access would count towards it, but I understand how it goes.

Hopefully I’ll be able to have enough time to click the Rewards button before the game crashes.

As mentioned, it seemed to register earlier, so there’s that.

I play on the cloud, Nvidia GeForce NOW. It has a free tier and you can play games through the cloud in your web browser too. Should be enough for that.

Okay, now this is something.

I’ve signed up.

This might work. Thanks chap.

I’ll let you all know if it works.

I play through their desktop app, but it should work. Good luck!

try running the game through Geforce now, more then ideal for keeping the daily login even when you are away on vacation.

i would guess old driver version?
also are you playing through steam. steam+proton usually helps with games on linux. gaming on linux is sketchy and even opening the game can be a chore. that is why like people before i recommend geforce now.

Have you tried deleting everything you can off your laptop? It might give you a chance :+1:

@Gulyás_Bandit I keep trying to load it up, and I get into a queue, but I get the following even before the queue is finished…

Thing is, I’m not leaving the screen, and I don’t see any ads at all, and when I click close, it just goes back to the main games menu. I’ve no idea what I’m doing wrong.

Does the app work on Linux? I couldn’t see an obvious link.

Not out for Linux. I guess you could try getting it for Android from the PlayStore…besides that, I don’t know.

I’m gonna try to get the game started from the browser, Chrome is the most stable for it and we’ll see what happens.

Worked for me. Though for some reason, switched my keyboard config to US QWERTY meanwhile mine is QWERTZ, so, the logging in was…hard. LOL

If you go into the Settings menu on the right top corner, then Game, you’ll see an option to mess around with the Streaming Quality, set that to Custom, scroll down and turn Optimizing For Slow Connection or something like that off.

Hmm. I instantly noticed I’m getting ads on my phone… Maybe this shit will work after all…

I’ve been using the Free tier for a while now and I’ve yet to get a single ad. Didn’t even get any onto my phone either and works on my Android too.

Well, it would work if the wifi where I’m staying wasn’t so fucking shit.

I’m tempted to talk to reception tomorrow and offer my services to fix it… Might get a discount on our stay, lol. :slight_smile:

That is true, you do need a good internet for it. There’s also some server maintenance from what I’ve read. Their servers have been spotty, I filed a couple of tickets for that. That with the abyssmal Enlisted servers didn’t create a great playing experience. So that might have something to do with your issues. Not sure where you are and what servers Geforce are trying to connect to. I use Bulgarian servers myself.

Hope you get to log in, if you’re worried about the login streak. You could lend your account to someone you trust just for that.

Apparently, I’m connecting to Poland! Lol.

Yeah, I’m tempted to get my dad to download Enlisted tomorrow so I can login from his house.

Either that, or try again when I’m connected to his wifi.
