Come gestire le città: Skylines II su Linux utilizzando Proton

Questa guida mostra come far funzionare il gioco e ottenere più spazio di swap usando xrar su Fedora Workstation 38 e alcuni suggerimenti e trucchi per poter giocare con prestazioni migliori (o del tutto).

System Specs

Proton version and Steam arguments I use

These are the Proton versions I tested:

GE-Proton-8.21, Proton 8.0-4 and Proton Experimental.

The one I ended up using is Proton 8.0-4

These are the args i use to run City Skylines II:

__NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia gamemoderun %command% -preload +fps_max 144

Note that __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia only applies to Nvidia GPU if not customized. You can also change +fps_max 144 to suit your monitor’s max refresh rate

Get more Swap Space

• First check if zram-generator-defaults is installed or install it by running:sudo dnf in zram-generator-defaults
• Then edit /etc/systemd/zram-generator.conf to change how much Swap space you want with for
  For exemple :sudo nano /etc/systemd/zram-generator.conf
• You need to add in the file:[zram0]
  zram-size =
• After the “= ” You can add with how much swap space you want relative to how much ram you have. Esempio:[zram0]
  zram-size = ram

  Here are different option if you want more/less swap:

  • You can add: <ram / 2> (senza<>) to set your swap to half of you ram
  • You can add: <ram> (senza<>) to make your swap the same size as the amout of RAM
    A disposizione
  • [Non testato] I think you can add: <ram * 2> (senza<>) to make it double the installed RAM
• Reboot your computer and, Voileà !
  You can go check in system monitor for the amount of Swap Available:
