you can rename this title because this works on other linux distros too, i might try this someday

[Staravora]

Thanks a bunch for this guide
I've spent more time than I'd like to admit trying to get it to run through Lutris and nothing was working
Linux tutorials have a habit of avoiding GUI like the plague and over explaining when it's literally as simple as this so 👍

Thanks man i was pulling my hair out on this one lol launches on arch linux now

[faraaz]

Thanks for the guide Bleeplo! Super helpful. Personally running the game on DX8 because of a potato PC!

Managed to get this going on gentoo, many thanks for the video guide. If all I had was the text to go by, I would have called it quits midway through the several errors protontricks spits out.

[akrime]

Thank you again, i forgot the d3d dll's on protontricks after a long stalker anomaly abscence (once i knew this). 😅 Iam very glaad you made this video. I wonder why this dll's are not standard installed with proton.

Worked but the floor is gone, tried turning up the texture detail to high but it just crashes?

[manolisvellis]
