Elite Dangerous - CommandMC/EpicLinux GitHub Wiki

Testers needed: Previously, the ED Launcher crashed once you'd try to link your Epic account with Frontier. Since this game has improved quite a lot compatibility-wise, please test if this is still the case.

Elite Dangerous requires you to create a Elite Dangerous Launcher_evidencehere folder inside $WINEPREFIX/drive_c/users/$USER/Local Settings/Application Data/. Without it, the launcher won't start up.

Other than that, ED itself works fine on Linux, the Launcher is a little more problematic though. It crashes...

• on launch
• when selecting a game
• when launching a game
• when it feels like it

These crashes get more frequent after installing DXVK for... reasons.

Thus, we'd recommed to skip the launcher. This can be done by adding

[9c203b6ed35846e8a4a9ff1e314f6593]
start_params = /autorun /ed /autoquit

to your Legendary config file. /ed can be substituted with /edh (to launch ED: Horizons) or /eda (to launch ED: Arena).
