Hi I just installed non Steam version of DayZ into my Ubuntu 20.04 OS but I can't play it.

I heard that there is a program called Proton that is allowing play games or run programs made for Windows on Linux distros but I am not very familiar with it. I would like to play DayZ on Ubuntu without that proton. Do you think if is that possible? Thanks for your answers and advices.

Answer 2

If your computer is older than 2 years and has a AMD chip in it, then you cannot play because of AMD lack of support for Linux drivers.

If you do have a AMD chip that is new, then you are stuck with the Ubuntu version that has working Linux drivers.
