This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Another issue is the lack of linux support. Didn't matter much until the steam deck came out. Hope that drives additional Linux support.

So just add it as a none steam game and use proton, it's how I've been playing the Cyberpunk 2077 DLC on my SteamDeck

I understand there are ways to do it, but it really would be in their best interest to make a Linux client. One that implements proton in a similar fashion as steam would also be great. Even more ideally, they would add some features that does what emudeck does to auto add the games into the steam launcher on SD.

Valve has done the heavy work on proton. And obviously a good launcher isn't simple, but I do think it would be worthwhile for them.

Whoa, that's cool. What do you mean add it as a none steam game? Sny link with steps?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Don't have a link or anything but it's really not that hard, typically I install install it through something like lutris (by finding the exe with it), and then after it's installed I find the exe for the game itself with steam by clicking add non steam games (under games in steam)

All that's left after that is to go to the games properties on steam click compatibility, hit the check box, and make sure it's using proton (preferably experimental)

Thanks man! I'll look it up and try it out.
