Forever Skies - 1.4.2 - Multi8 - Gnu Linux Wine... -

Now go repair your airship. The skies, forever as they are, await.

If you own the game on , use Proton Experimental. It handles the EOS middleware better than raw Wine. If you own the GOG DRM-free version (highly recommended for Linux users), use wine-staging + DXVK + VKD3D .

Install wine-ge-custom from the AUR and set VKD3D_CONFIG=dxr11 for the best ray tracing performance on AMD cards.

Forever Skies 1.4.2 on Linux is not perfect, but it is comfortable . You will crash once every 4-6 hours instead of once per hour (which was the case in 1.3.x). The MULTi8 support means you can share the same prefix with a French or Polish-speaking friend without juggling config files. | Aspect | Rating (Linux/Wine) | |--------|---------------------| | Stability | 7/10 (Crashes rare but present) | | Performance | 8/10 (Close to native) | | Ease of install | 6/10 (Needs manual overrides) | | Controller support | 9/10 (After 1.4.2) | | MULTi8 usefulness | 10/10 (Flawless on Wine) |

Forever Skies 1.4.2 is the first version where I can honestly tell a Linux gamer, "Buy it. It works." The dust clouds of the broken Earth are unforgiving, but your operating system doesn't have to be.
