Medieval Dynasty

PROTON TIER: GOLD


Medieval Dynasty - Linux Technical Documentation

Medieval Dynasty is a survival RPG set in the Middle Ages. Players must hunt, gather resources, build a dynasty, and lead their community to prosperity.

Status Check: Runs via Proton. ProtonDB Tier: Gold.

TWEAKS & TRICKS:

  • Performance Improvement: While default Proton works, using Proton GE can improve performance.
    • Solution: VKD3D_CONFIG=force_static_cbv gamemoderun %command%
  • Low Performance (FPS): Some users experience low frame rates with older Proton versions.
    • Solution: Update to the latest Proton GE version.
  • Catastrophic Save Issue (Berry Limit): The game may fail to save after accumulating over 600 berries, potentially leading to disk corruption requiring fsck.
    • Solution: Avoid collecting more than 600 berries at once.
  • Data Loss (UE4 Fatal Error): Users have reported data loss following a UE4 Fatal Error and Steam update issues.
    • Solution: Frequent manual backups of save files are recommended. The save files are located in C:\Users\[Your Username]\Documents\Medieval Dynasty\Saves (mapped to the appropriate Linux path when using Proton).

Verdict: Medieval Dynasty is a solid buy for Linux gamers thanks to its Gold status on ProtonDB. However, be mindful of the reported save issues and data loss potential, and consider implementing a backup strategy.
