Latest Genshin Impact can work on Waydroid if you do some steps first. Bear in mind it is touchscreen only, so theres not much you can do without using a mapper.
Long long ago Genshin Impact stopped working on Waydroid, crashing (freezing) before loading the world. One user posted an issue on the repo, and after some time posted the patches applied for it to work. Seems like Genshin tries to apply optimizations for specific GPUs and doesn't recognize your GPU correctly, so you have to force a vendor internally.
You can clone the github repo and apply the patches to the system image. Or if you trust people on the internet, download the patched images on the same repo.
It's been about a year or so since I've played Genshin, but I played it exclusively on Linux through Bottles while a friend of mine played through Heroic and we had no issues. Did something change since then? What would be the benefit of playing it via Waydroid? (Except for testing, of course :P)
I tried it recently. They changed the rootkit and it's a coin flip on Linux. Genshin is supposed to work, but I've never been able to launch the game.
Sad to hear 😕
Only benefit is ~60gb saved
I thought about it too 😁 But it also (presumably) means somewhat inferior graphics. So it's a benefit with some cost if you care about extra polygons
