Looking for MMO on Linux (Wine/Proton) (lemmy.world)

Hi!

I have been playing WoW (more on the private side) for a while now on my Linux machine. However, as time passes by, one does wish to look for different games.

Could anyone recommend me an MMO that works on Linux? More specifically, I have tried quite a number that have been ported natively to Linux, so I was wondering if anyone knows ones they have had a fun time playing which work through Wine or Proton. I have tried few ones other than WoW, but especially their launchers fail to work with Wine.

It's not exactly an MMORPG but rather an MMOFPS but Planetside 2 works very well.

As a rule of thumb if it's available on Steam and you play it through Steam it will probably work. That said always good to check ProtonDB

Be aware on kde with wayland that ps2 doesnt play nice with open windows in the background, for me anyway. I have to minimize anything else i might have open or suffer stuttering and frame drops.

Also yes to protondb.

I personally had no ossues on KDE but I think Endeavour OS uses Xorg

With the latest Proton 8, it should work OOTB; launcher and all.
