Linux has been growing as a platform for gaming in 2026 and beyond. Cod4 actually works more smoother on Linux , with more fps, using latest proton and dxvk. Its almost good to go. I think generally just improving proton and linux support should be kept in mind for development. One issue i got is that sometimes on quitting from a server, i use the menu, crashes the game. ---

I’m using GE or CachyOS protons, never had that before. ---

im also using GE proton now, switched it from proton experimental. Lets see if it happens with GE. I should collect some logs if that happens, if u guide me how to ---

One suggested improvement: Add .sh install script in addition to .bat script for installation. Script is meant to be installed to users desired prefix ( designis that the user will be using something like a proton script to launch the game, which im sharing) ---

There is already an exe installer for cod4x: [Cod4x Client and Server Files](https://cod4x.ovh/t/cod4x-client-and-server-files/24) ---

I was referring to the .bat script. We could have a .sh script there for our prefix ---

Waste of time, you can run the .exe in the wineprefix, done. ---

There is no bat script anymore. There is an exe installer. ---

I can confirm that game crashing bug happens when exiting a server with a mod, very frequently. Initially it wasnt that frequent , but now it is much more frequent, almost each time.. This happens using the menu quit button , not the /disconnect command Using latest proton GE. Although i am using fps challenge patch 21.5 hotfix . But i dont think/its unlikely the logic or whatever for that part would have been changed. I will debug it and hopefully we can fix it ---

Another potential improvement which i had in mind (idk if this is done already or not): But implementing the hardware ID used by cod4x for Linux, like actual HWID for Linux, so that linux players are also hardware identifiable outside of proton prefix. Which i currently assume where the HWID is derived from, and reinstalling of the prefix will result in new HWID. ---

The game crashing issue was apparently very tenacious. Had to reinstall my game using a different installation source and now its fixed. Also exclusively using proton GE with wayland only mode, instead of Xwayland also has helped
