Gaming experience - installing steam game over lutris?

#1 Post by BasicSloth »

I decided about a year ago to switch my daily machine to linux. A broken CPU was the reason i use now MX Linux. But that's another story 9_9 .

As i mentioned in the MX 21 AHS feedback thread, i tested to play some games. And i failed with both not linux native game, which i tried on steam. I were curious, there was an offer and I had some bucks left so i tried the exactly same games on lutris, which I bought on gog.

I tried "Kingdom Come: Deliverance" and "World of Warships". I did not manage to made those games run over steam play. But, they worked amazingly over lutris. I just installed them and played. :happy:

To use Steam for linux native stuff and gog/lutris for other things would work for me. But come on, that's not sexy. How must I set up steam and / or lutris, that they are connected? I found some instructions, but they did not work.

Oh I did forgot to mention. I installed manjaro on that machine too to test. There "Kingdom Come" worked on steam (but not with a worse performance -that was a feeling not a measurement.

I lost plenty of time in analyzing my broken CPU. So i'm quit good at ACPI tables. but i have no clue where to find log files for that topic yet.

Thank you in advance for your help.

So a few things...

A lot of times there may be several things that affect a game working with Steam Proton and it often is never the same across Distros or Distro versions, its a pain, but that is how it is still.

More often than not it could just be the Proton version or launch options need changed. Sometimes its a missing a game specific dependency. Those are the big things to always check.
You might remember in previous threads/posts I talked about running FallOut New Vegas with Stream Proton.

Lutris uses "runners" and install scripts which essentially are configurations for running the game dependent on the installation method and backend (Steam, GoG, WINE, Origin, etc, etc).

You can actually look at the install scripts which often help narrow down what is needed for games. That plus searching protondb is always where I start first.

So i think I got it. Linux is great but Linux and Gaming can be a pain. To be honest I expected nothing other (but there is always hope).

So then I will do some investigations in Proton launch options and learn how the use and read the proton db.

Thank you.
