Add Steamtinkerlaunch to your steam proton list with protonup‐qt Then, select it under the force compatibility menu. From there, just click the run vortex mod manager button.
You can also run steamtinkerlaunch standalone, which is what I did for cyberpunk2077, but I feel like I did more manual file moving than I had to.
Nexus is running Linux tests for their new mod manager RIGHT NOW. I believe its still limited to Stardew Valley for now while in alpha, but they’re making strides here! nexus-mods.github.io/…/GettingStarted/
I can get some old ass terminal based JRPG and Sims 3 which can barely run on windows working using bottles but I can’t get the linux version of Hearts of Iron IV to recognize dlc wtf is this
I haven’t played HOI4 on Linux yet, but I’ve played other PDX games. They have just worked for me. I don’t know if you’re doing something different, but I just install the DLCs and they are instantly recognized.
If you really want to have a go of it you should either buy well supported hardware next time you buy or even better buy hardware that actually comes with Linux by an OEM that has already done the research and selection and then don’t run a kernel older than your hardware. Stick with boring well supported stuff neither bleeding edge nor ancient.
It’s great that you can at this point pick hardware out of a hat and have a lot of it supported by Linux but it doesn’t mean you should buy hardware this way if you want to have a good experience.
Good thing I have no interest in playing online with randos (or with anyone else at all, really) or paying through the nose for AAA games full of bugs, then!
