Hey ! I bought a game on steam, but I cannot install it on lutris as it’s not even listed… It’s a windows only game. Is there a way to play it? Am I doing something wrong?
The game is Wednesdays : https://store.steampowered.com/app/2747770/Wednesdays/
Thanks!
It seems to be working with Pronton
Install Steam client, log in and download it there. Even if you connect Lutris to you Steam account, AFAIK, the way Lutris launches those is just launching Steam
What you mean when say “windows only”? You can just set “use proton” in steam client and run windows game on Linux with proton.
ProtonDB link: https://www.protondb.com/app/2747770?device=any
If you don’t see your windows games in steam on Linux you have to enable Settings/Compatibility/‘Enable Steam Play for all other titles’, then just install normally from the Library screen.
I want to add, for OP and others’ sake, that you don’t need to add all of your Steam games to Lutris/Heroic/whatever in order to play them. This step (enabling Proton) is all you should need.
I would also like to add that if the newest Proton version doesn’t work for a newer game, you should grab ProtonUp-QT. Sometimes GEProton will work or else come out with support faster than official channels.
what a time to be alive
That was it! Thanks a lot!!!
I feel that this setting could be on by default nowadays
It really should be.
Go into the game’s settings in Steam and then set its compatibility to Proton Hotfix. You should then have the option to install it.
I have 3-4 older games, like Giants: Citizen Kabuto and Deus Ex that I run separately under Wine, using the default settings.
Enable Proton. And check ProtonDB before you run it.
