Arch linux

[ZodianAutos]

How do I run the game on arch linux
I have tried protontricks and launch options
the closest I have gotten it is the launcher telling me to install .net and cpp. I tried doing that with protontricks and it didn't work

[Bedna]

I use arch, and every game I play through proton I play using proton-GE.
Install the bin from the AUR, select prototon-GE under compatability in the game settings on steam.
No need for any proton/wine-tricks.

Works for me.

I also use gamemode (in the normal repos) and start the game with "gamemoderun %command%" in the game arguments settings.

1. Install Steam Runtime package. This will install all the required dependencies.
2. Launch steam client and enable Steam play and Proton in settings menu
3. Install game
4. run game in steam using proton.

I have tried proton-Ge and it didn't work. I have tried a ton of proton versions and I still get the cpp and .net error

[ZodianAutos]

I installed all the Steam Runtime packages and I still get the cpp and .net error (exit code 3221225477)

what is game arguments settings
is that start settings?

Wonder if Wine and Lutrus will solve yur problems.

I get this with wine: Failed to initialize graphics.
Make sure you have DirectX 11 installed, have up to date
drivers for your graphics card and have not disabled
3D acceleration in display settings.
InitializeEngineGraphics failed

There is something wrong with your setup then.

Pretty much the list someone made above is what you minimal have to do and it should just work.
Proton in steam will use settings for steamdeck, that is why I prefer using proton-GE. GE can also do things steam can NOT legally do with "normal" proton and also adds a bunch of specific per game tweaks automatically.

For this game there should never have to be anything done with wine, lutris or proton/wine-tricks or anything of that sort.

1. install steam (I do NOT recommend steam-native-runtime, use the normal package)
2. install proton-ge-custom-bin from AUR
3. Install game
4. Edit game settings and select proton-GE
5. Play game

yea don't know
ive reinstalled steam and the game

[Bedna]

Well, your comment about wine failure was hidden before, you just showed that this is most likely not a steam thing, it's something with your system, or you are trying to play a pirated version...

Play steam games through steam, not lutris or ANYTHING ELSE.

I don't know what to do then

Go ask on a linux forum, this is not the place for this kind of discussion, you need to provide logs and such and and people can help.

Could be your desktop environment, could be you have multiple divers, could be you didn't add the multilib repos, could be a TON of different things.

Also, ALWAYS read the arch wiki for everything, it's an amazing source of information usually covering all stuff you need.

okay I am going to try on the endeavourOS forum

Aaah, so you do NOT run arch, you run EndeavourOS (good choice btw). Nothing wrong with that, but you should have STARTED with that information, because things are done differently than on pure arch. AUR for example... xD

But yes, that would be a very good place to ask. :)
