The game will crash when using a Drop Attack ability on native Linux version, no fix has been made to this day. The only option to play the game without any issues is to run the Windows version through Proton. (''Issue has been resolved as of Patch 1.22, released 27/11/19'')

===Remap keys, which cannot be remapped in-game===
 
# You need:
 
#* [https://www.7-zip.org/ 7-Zip]
 
#* Text editor (e.g. [https://www.sublimetext.com/3 Sublime], Notepad+)
 
# Extract the keyboard ini file for modifying:
 
## Go to {{code|{{p|game}}\DW}} and open {{code|Data0.pak}} with 7-Zip
 
## Extract the file {{code|inputs_keyboard.scr}} in folder {{code|data\scripts\inputs\}}
 
# Edit the key mapping:
 
## Open the extracted file with the text editor and look for the action you want to change and edit the associated key (looks like "EKey__A")
 
## Save the file
 
# Add to game: in order to be used by the game it has to be placed in the Data3.pak container, which is just there for mods (so original files are not altered and VAC does not ban you)
 
## Open {{code|Data3.pak}} with 7-Zip
 
## Create the following subfolders: {{code|data\scripts\inputs\}}, i.e. the folder structure in this file must be the same as in the original file
 
## Add the modified {{code|inputs_keyboard.scr}} into the "inputs" folder you just created in Data3.pak
 
## Close 7-Zip
 
# Start game
 
 
Example: The key for changing the arrow/bolt type is bound to key R and cannot be changed in-game. If you want to change this, you have to edit the following two lines in {{code|inputs_keyboard.scr}}:
 
AddAction(_ACTION_QUICK_ARROWS,                              EInputTarget_HUD, EInputDevice_Keyboard, false, EKey__R, false, true);
 
AddAction(_ACTION_QUICK_BOLTS,                              EInputTarget_HUD, EInputDevice_Keyboard, false, EKey__R, false, true);

Remapping

Some keys (e.g. "change arrow/bolt type") cannot be remapped in-game.
Remap keys which cannot be remapped in-game[citation needed]
  1. Go to <path-to-game>\DW\ and open Data0.pak with 7-Zip.
  2. Extract the file inputs_keyboard.scr in folder data\scripts\inputs\.
  3. Open the extracted file with a text editor (e.g. Sublime Text, Notepad++) and look for the action you want to change and edit the associated key (looks like "EKey__A").
  4. Save the file.
  5. Open Data3.pak with 7-Zip.
  6. Create the following subfolders: data\scripts\inputs\, i.e. the folder structure in this file must be the same as in the original file.
  7. Add the modified inputs_keyboard.scr into the inputs folder you just created in Data3.pak.
  8. Close 7-Zip.
  9. Start game.

Notes

For example, the key for changing the arrow/bolt type is bound to R and cannot be changed in-game. If you want to change this, you have to edit the following two lines in inputs_keyboard.scr:
AddAction(_ACTION_QUICK_ARROWS,                              EInputTarget_HUD, EInputDevice_Keyboard, false, EKey__R, false, true);
AddAction(_ACTION_QUICK_BOLTS,                               EInputTarget_HUD, EInputDevice_Keyboard, false, EKey__R, false, true);

Vertical mouse sensitivity

The vertical mouse sensitivity may be too high on the Linux version.
Set sensitivity only for the vertical axis
  1. Go to <path-to-game>\DW\ and open Data0.pak with an archive manager.
  2. Extract the file default_levels.xml in folder data\skills\.
  3. Open the extracted file with a text editor and search for LookVertSpeed_Mouse.
  4. Change <prop n="LookVertSpeed_Mouse" v="0.25"/> to a lower value: <prop n="LookVertSpeed_Mouse" v="0.15"/>.
  5. Add the modified default_levels.xml back to the Data0.pak archive and save it.

Issues fixed

Game won't launch on open source AMD drivers on Linux

Override the OpenGL Mesa verison at launch[10]
  1. In Set Launch Options... on Steam add this code at the beginning
MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=4.5 MESA_GLSL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=450 %command%
Use the specific OpenGL library for Mesa.[11]

Download and unpack the library file into the main game folder and launch the game. In case it won't work, use it with the mentioned launch option from the guide above.

In-game graphics won't show up on AMD drivers on Gentoo/Fedora/OpenSUSE etc.

This issue is not present on Ubuntu or any Ubuntu/Debian based distribution
Create a symlink of bin directory[12]

Open up the Terminal and type:

sudo ln -s /usr/sbin/lspci /usr/bin/lspci

NOTE: If you are using ArchLinux or an ArchLinux based distribution, you must use Linux Steam Integration, it can be found in AUR for faster and easier installation.
