Please create a step by step guide to install game on Linux

[Tetris_Juicer]

We need a proper straight forward step by step guide explaining EXACTLY what to do.
Steam cannot launch GTA V due to needing to verify game files.
Rockstar doesnt know were to look for games, Scan completed NO GAMES FOUND.
Why is this so complicated.... i got the game to run ONCE and then never again...

Linux is for people that know how to use it. If you can't get it running you might want to try a more user friendly OS.

That said, there is plenty of info on Youtube. Type in "how to install gta 5 on Linux ". I just searched it and plenty of info comes up.

If you are not tech savy enough to get it to run, as others mentioned stick with windows 10 or learn to use google.

Step 1. Uninstall Linux
Step 2. Install Windows

In the meantime, install Linux on a virtual machine and get familiar with it before making it your main OS. If you don't know what a virtual machine is, you just found your first homework assignment.

Or better install windows via linux as VM. Or just dual boot. VM tools windows side suck ass.

I GOT IT TO WORK!

DOwnloaded the CURRENT rockstar launcher DIRECTLY from the website not from lutris.com
installed the rockstar launcher in the game directory, which when using the LUTRIS Rockstar launcher the game directory cannot be found! Even though the rockstar launcher from rockstar has no WINE it WORKED!

after installing rockstar launcher pointed to game directory which would be steamapps/common folder. FIRST have rockstar launcher SIGNED in and OPEN. THEN on steam, run game by just pressing play button but not selecting Singleplayer or Multiplayer just left that selection window open. THIS IS THE KEY doing this in the exact method allowed the game to ran, it failed the first time by opening rockstar launcher installer again.. but i VERIFIED game FILES on steam and it updated the installer script and downloaded 2 more files and BAM! it ran the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ GAME THANK THE LORD JESUS !

I always wanted to tell Bill Gates if I could that I would die if I could not eat meat just like other people with a low Neanderthal genetic structure, unfortunately nuts are bad for me like his logic that simply flip flops on environmental issues caused by windows updates, one of the reasons Linux saves old computer systems.

I thank-you for solving your problem so other people will not have to suffer from Microsoft's environmental unfriendly windows updates like windows 11, in-which when they make it a requirement for games in the future after windows 10 support is drop will cause a world wide recession and job loss.

Linux isn't as hard as it was a decade ago, it's a lot more seamless and plug-n-play experience for plenty of distros these days and some have Steam built-in or at least offer greater support than most others. Ever since Proton, it's as easy as adding the game/launcher to Steam for the majority of games and launching it with Proton enabled and now there's really no more point to gaming on Windows unless you're addicted to Apex Legends or the other few online games that aren't supported (yet) or enabled for Linux.

Just give it another year or so and Linux will actually stand above Windows for gaming because you can already see lower frametimes and higher fps and better stability in many cases on Linux compared to Windows right now and support is always growing and doesn't seem to be slowing down so it's just a matter of time.

EDIT: Actually Apex Legends is supported on Linux since April so yeah, very good sign that we're close to being able to drop Windows to play some of the most popular games.

the problem will probably be the launcher and everything with that.
