Discovery on Linux: A guide

[moduletux]

easiest fix back when I was on Linux was a simple script checking on which core Freelancer is running and assigning it to any other core than core0 (actual core 1). cause somehow it has this problem when it's running on the first core.
I didn't use a script tho... I used a hotkey, which assigned Freelancer.exe to core 4 (last physical core on my quadcore). Problem was whenever u docked/undocked/switched system u had to press it again, as Freelancer re-assigned itself to Core0

Thankfully projects like, Lutris, DXVK, Proton, and more have made the entire process easier. There's usually no need for scripts anymore unless you're a Lutris installer maintainer or you really really want to.

That's why I've spent time on my Lutris installer making sure it works and revisited it when I saw there were issues. I want to make this easy for other users so they can just (more or less) click + play.

I'm not sure what the core issue with the FPS is, but adding the d3d8to9 dll to the Discovery gamedir and then using DXVK (translate DX9, 10, and 11 to Vulkan) fixes the problem and boosts performance significantly.

Here's a look at the YAML file for lutris: https://github.com/dhollinger/lutris_ins...local.yaml
