I managed to get it running on Pop!_os, and also with a slight improvment.

I first followed the original instruction but noticed that I had limited performance. The guide tell you to install wine x32 instead of x64 which limited ram usage to 8gb. also GPU drivers (although being AMD which is better native to Linux than nvidia) were very bad. Couldn't raid in Karazhan normal without getting half a frame per minute.

Instead: Installed steam, added the ascension-setup-xxx.exe as a "non-steam game" and forced it to run with proton 7.0-6. Installed the game via steam.

I went into the folder where the game was installed: (...steamapps/compata/1234567xxx/pfx/drive_c/program files/Ascension Launcher) added Ascension Launcher.exe into Steam as a none steam game instead (trying to boot the game via ascension-setup-xxx.exe would only continuously reinstall the game in a new folder to no end). Again pushing steam to launcher Ascension Launcher.exe to run Proton 7.0-6.

Now I can boot the game, installing addons works fine too.

Pros: My computer can now utilize the Proton API which is much better than old Wine. GPU can now actually use a lot more of its performance and I can also use more of my 16gb ram.

Issue that persists: DivxTac.dll has to be deleted every time the game update or verified integrity. Something in this file makes the GPU drivers for linux go mad. Not sure if it's only an AMD problem.

I tested this on a fresh Fedora install, but sadly to no avail. I only ended up with error messages as soon as I booted Ascension from Steam.

Hope this helps more players!

@Pocadek A few options, for me I have a windows server that I downloaded the client from.

If you can fool your browser that you're on a windows machine you can do that (should be doable in firefox)

use a VM

or login to another computer and download it.

@Eilytres I've been fighting this all day. Not working for me as well

If you follow my guide on how to do it via steam then it works at least on debian based builds.

What system are you on?

As of launcher 114 I can no longer use the official wine method provided for Ubuntu/Debian user. My steam solution up below still works.

@Piousmean4 said in New level cap:

I have been looking to see when the new release will happen. I have not seen anything, Can someone either point me in the right direction, or give me an idea. That would be swell. Thank you ! By the way I love this game! Thank you, PA!

They usually never set dates on releases, this link will at least show what has already been released.

@hinora said in badge of justice:

how can i get badge of justice?

Do heroic, or mythic dungeons on a lvl 70 character.

@Svennin I wish you good luck on your journey forwards! I'm glad you realize you want something new rather than staying on a track that makes you unhappy. Good luck!

@wellington said in The moment i log-in, i get DC'd. It's been like this for literal months.:

I log in, my character screen loads, i click a character to enter world. It loads. The second that i log in, i get disconnected. I've had this issue for like 6 months. Please help.

a few things:
Didn't get a lot to go on here:

Have you tried reinstalling the game

have any issues with other games?

I don't know if I fully agree to this statement. I do agree that there's no block gem. however if a tank decides to pickup a shield. He still has Block / Parry / Dodge. No matter how you twist and turn on this. A 2 handed tank, or dual wielding parry tank. Will always skipp out completely on block.

@doruneka said in Linux: Unofficial Fedora installation guide:

@Eilytres did you ever figure out what is causing this issue. currently fighting the exact same problem right now

I found an alternative way wich sadly involved distro hopping to Pop!_os I of course tried the same procedure on Fedora first but was unable to get it functioning.

Either you can do the same or perhaps the guide can help you find a solution:
