Sniper Elite: Resistance - Linux Compatibility Report

Sniper Elite: Resistance delivers unparalleled sniping mechanics, stealth, and tactical third-person combat within the backdrop of Nazi-occupied France.

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

TWEAKS & TRICKS:

  • Crash After 10-15 Minutes: Assertion failed related to vkAllocateMemory. No specific Proton version appears to mitigate this issue.
  • Audio Crackling: Audio crackling issues can be resolved by adjusting the PulseAudio latency.
    • Problem: Audio crackling.
    • Solution: PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=60 %command%
  • Performance Fluctuations: The game sometimes experiences fluctuating frame rates.
    • Problem: Frame rate drops to 30fps or less, then returns to 60fps.
    • Solution: Install Mangohud and configure it to cap the framerate in Steam properties.

Verdict: While the game achieves Gold status on ProtonDB, frequent crashes reported by users make it a potentially frustrating experience. For users willing to tinker with launch options to address audio and potentially performance issues, and accepting the risk of crashes, it might be an enjoyable experience.
