RE: Discovery on Linux. Article Guide (2026) - Error - 03-25-2026 In case anybody else runs into issues with text rendered in Agency FB being cut off like this: Replacing Agency FB in fonts.ini, fonts4k.ini and rich_fonts.ini in <Discovery install folder>/DATA/FONTS with the name of a font you've got installed in drive_c/windows/Fonts should fix this. I'd currently recommend Agdasima, as it was made to be a fallback font for Agency FB. The style isn't quite the same, but it's fairly neutral. Rationale is another decent alternate font if you want something slightly different from Agency FB, but it does not have the exact same shape and size as Agency FB and thus won't fit quite right everywhere (at least not without further adjustments in the font .ini files). I'm not sure exactly what it is about Agency FB that makes this happen yet; tried four different copies the font from various sources, five different versions of Wine and quite a few other tweaks with no luck. All of them get cut off in the exact same way. RE: Discovery on Linux. Article Guide (2026) - Koshi.Inaba - 03-25-2026 Huge thank you. On my 32‑bit prefix I didn’t have font issues, but the game wasn’t stable and I experienced frequent crashes. I switched to GE‑Proton as a runner, which doesn’t support pure 32‑bit prefixes. With this I achieved perfect stability. On my 64‑bit prefix I had the cut‑off font issue. I found a workaround using Arial font with additional tweaks in the font.ini. It was satisfactory, but not perfect. With the font you shared, I only needed slight adjustments in font.ini to reduce the size of item names and HUD text, and now it seems perfect.

Man you are the legend, fixed my steam deck hauling and mining adventures. GE Proton 10-34, works like a charm. Thank you! RE: Discovery on Linux.

Article Guide (2026) - Sally - 04-22-2026 After finally having the spare time and will to deal with this I can confirm that the wine runner suggested by @darkwind is indeed less prone to crashes (at least from about an hour of in-game testing I didn't come across a single crash). The font fix from @Error also comes handy, might be worth adding to the guide because a good Agency replacement has been due for a while now. RE: Discovery on Linux.

Just to be sure clarify which exactly Wine version did u tested latest. the regular Proton or Ge-Proton? And which number version. Even number of version is important to know, to be sure which last version is stable and good to use for sure. and yes i agree that fonts addition needs to be added to the guide. When i will be next time updating it it shall be added there, or feel free opening PR https://github.com/darklab8/blog/blob/d471aff39b324ef3c30518d94f1a927c709086f4/blog/articles/articles.go#L71 https://github.com/darklab8/blog/tree/master/blog/articles/article_detailed/article_20240614_freelancer_setup_at_linux the guide operates as `temp generate && go run . web` to start its dev env, and requires some fresh enough golang ( https://go.dev/doc/install ) to function and having installed `go install github.com/a-h/templ/cmd/templ@v0.3.857` (or may be @0.3.857) Launchable at linux, not tested for other OSes.

I'm currently testing wine-proton 10.0.4, I got the tarball from your guide and I've tested it for about an hour, found no issues but an hour isn't much all things considered. I haven't tested an up to date GE-Proton runner, I will if I find issues with this one. RE: Discovery on Linux.
