INTRODUCTION : About a month ago, I was fed-up with Windows nonsense and wanted to switch fully to linux, and since have been wanting to play Royals on linux and ditch dual-booting with Windows. After some searching I found that the guides are either too old or not working for me, so I tried to research it myself and I managed to make it work on my system. With the new update coming up today, I thought I might as well as write down how I made it work. DISCLAMER : I experimented this on my laptop, with Intel core i5-3210M with Radeon HD 7500M/7600M Series discrete graphics card, operating system Arch Linux kernel 5.18.2-arch1-1. I do not guarantee that it will work 100% on your system. Last but not least, I WILL NOT take any responsibility if you messed up your system with this guide.

SYSTEM SPECS : CPU : Intel core i5-3210M GPU : Intel HD 3000 integrated graphics card GPU : Radeon HD 7500M/7600M Series mobile discrete graphics card OS : Arch Linux, kernel 5.18.2-arch1-1 PROCEDURES : Install graphics drivers with open source DirectX Vulkan support Code: $ sudo pacman -S xf86-video-intel xf86-video-amdgpu mesa lib32-mesa vulkan-intel vulkan-radeon vulkan-tools vulkan-mesa-layers vulkan-icd-loader spriv-tools amdvlk vkd3d lib32-vulkan-intel lib32-vulkan-radeon lib32-vulkan-mesa-layers lib32-vulkan-icd-loader lib32-amdvlk lib32-vkd3d Install the pipewire sound system Code: $ sudo pacman -S pipewire lib32-pipewire pipewire-media-session pipewire-alsa pipewire-pulse lib32-libpulse pipewire-v4l2 Install other dependencies Code: $ sudo pacman -S lib32-gnutls lib32-gst-plugins-base lib32-gst-plugins-good Install wine and the DXVK binary, there are two methods, pick one method from the following : Spoiler ## If not using an AUR helper : Code: $ sudo pacman -S wine wine-gecko wine-mono $ git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/dxvk-bin.git $ cd dxvk-bin $ makepkg -sirc ## If using an AUR helper, such as ``yay`` : Code: $ yay -S wine wine-gecko wine-mono dxvk-bin Create and initialize a wine prefix named ".wine32MR" under your home directory Code: $ env WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32MR wineboot -u If prompted, install mono and gecko, sometimes it does not detect the system mono and gecko installed before If wine applications are not showing easily readable fonts, link all of the system fonts so they are accessible from wine Code: $ cd ~/.wine32MR/drive_c/windows/Fonts && for i in /usr/share/fonts/**/*.{ttf,otf}; do ln -s "$i"; done Setup the DXVK binary, requires the package ``dxvk-bin`` from the AUR Code: $ env WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32MR setup_dxvk install Install the .exe to the wine prefix, I had the installer in my ``Downloads`` directory, so just point it to where your installer is Code: $ env WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32MR wine ~/Downloads/MapleRoyalsSetupWz-06.07.22.exe IMPORTANT : Restart your computer for the graphics drivers to register with the linux kernel!! Code: $ reboot Run MapleRoyals and enjoy # NOTE 1: Using dxvk with wine will create some additional files, you might want to change directory into the wine prefix to isolate them from your normal working directories. # NOTE 2: If you are using multi monitors, consider lowering the resolution to around 1024x768 or so before launching the game, to reduce the stress on your computer. Code: $ cd ~/.wine32MR/drive_c/MapleRoyals/ $ env DRI_PRIME=1 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32MR wine MapleRoyals.exe ADDITIONAL NOTES : I had been debugging this for quite some time and installed tons of extra packages related to vulkan for this to work, if the game does not work, you might want to check the installation of the following packages : Spoiler aur/dxvk-bin multilib/lib32-vulkan-radeon multilib/lib32-vulkan-mesa-layers multilib/lib32-vulkan-intel multilib/lib32-vulkan-icd-loader multilib/lib32-vkd3d multilib/lib32-amdvlk community/vkd3d extra/vulkan-tools extra/vulkan-radeon extra/vulkan-mesa-layers extra/vulkan-intel extra/vulkan-icd-loader extra/spirv-tools extra/amdvlk For users using other linux distros, I hope that this guide gives you some thought on how to make Royals work on your distro, good luck and happy mapling! ^^
Did you tried that in-game? Or did you use a window manager to do that? In my case, the in-game option would not set the game to full screen so I had to use the window manager to make it full screen.
