Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon - Linux Guide

1. What is the Game About?

Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon is a first-person, open-world RPG set in a dark reimagining of Arthurian legends. The game features exploration of a world frozen in an eternal autumn, with a complex and branching narrative where player choices have significant consequences.

2. Status:

Proton. The game runs optimally on Linux via Proton, with a “Platinum” rating on ProtonDB.

3. Tips & Tweaks:

• Problem: Black screen at launch on some configurations.

• Solution: Disable adaptive sync in display settings.

  System Settings > Display and Monitor > Set Adaptive Sync to off You may be able to re-enable it after this adjustment.

• Problem: Extremely low performance upon initial launch (around 10 FPS).

• Solution: Manually reduce the GPU clock speed.

  Manual GPU Clock to 1600 -> any number lower (return to 1600 later)

• Problem: Performance degradation after leaving the starting area.

• Solution: There is no direct solution known, but using gamescope can help.

  gamescope -f --force-grab-cursor -w 5120 -h 1440 -W 5120 -H 1440 -- %command%

• Problem: Difficulty using the mouse for 360-degree viewing.

• Solution: Launch the game with the appropriate launch options.

  While specific launch options are not mentioned, experimenting with different DE configurations, such as CachyOS (Gnome), with options for multi-core CPUs is suggested.

• Problem: Gamemode disabled by default.

4. Verdict:

Highly recommended for Linux players. While the game has some optimization issues, it runs exceptionally well under Proton, delivering performance exceeding that seen on Windows 11. Steam Deck users should, however, adjust their expectations due to the less than ideal optimization; even so, players accustomed to lower refresh rates may still find the game enjoyable.
