Age of Wonders Planetfall Linux DXVK Wine – how to play this game on Linux.
Emerge from the cosmic dark age of a fallen galactic empire to build a new future for your people. Age of Wonders: Planetfall is the new strategy game from Triumph Studios, creators of the critically acclaimed Age of Wonders series, bringing all the exciting tactical turn-based combat and in-depth empire building of its predecessors to space in an all-new, sci-fi setting.
Build your empire with one of six unique factions, ranging from the militant Vanguard to the dinosaur-riding Amazons and the cyborg-zombies of the Assembly. Progress through each faction’s missions using your wits, military strength and diplomacy, exploring planetary ruins and encountering other survivors as you unravel the history of a shattered civilization. Fight, build, negotiate and technologically advance your way to utopia in a deep single player campaign, on random skirmish maps, and against friends in multiplayer.
Age of Wonders Planetfall Linux DXVK Wine – how to play this game on Linux.
Age of Wonders: Planetfall is a game for Windows without a dedicated Linux version unlike Age of Wonders 3: Eternal Lords. Fortunately you can play it on Linux in a very easy way!
The game runs out-of-the box and you’ll need only Wine (Wine-Staging won’t run with this game) and DXVK.
Setting up DXVK is very easy thanks to our DXVK full installation guide. If you want you may use ESync for an FPS boost.
If you use the steam version you can start the game like this:
#!/bin/sh export STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH=~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/718850/ cd ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Age\ of\ Wonders\ Planetfall/ ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Proton\ 4.11/proton run AowPF.exe
All done! Now you can play Age of Wonders: Planetfall on Linux too!
Dont’t forget to switch to borderless window from the game’s video options. The game is running better in this mode.
- Wine version used in the video: Wine 4.13 with ESync enabled.
- DXVK version: 1.3.2
- NVIDIA driver: 430.40
