Guide: Installing Northern Lights on Linux with Steam Proton

This guide describes how to use Steam Proton to play and run Windows games on your Linux computer. Some games may not work or may break because Steam Proton is still at a very early stage.


1. Activating Steam Proton for Linux:
Proton is integrated into the Steam Client with "Steam Play." To activate proton, go into your steam client and click on Steam in the upper right corner. Then click on settings to open a new window. From here, click on the Steam Play button at the bottom of the panel. Click "Enable Steam Play for Supported Titles."

Alternatively: Go to Steam > Settings > Steam Play and turn on the "Enable Steam Play for Supported Titles" option.

Valve has tested and fixed some Steam titles and you will now be able to play most of them. However, if you want to go further and play titles that even Valve hasn't tested, toggle the "Enable Steam Play for all titles" option.


2. Choose a version
You should use the Steam Proton version recommended by Steam: 3.7-8. This is the most stable version of Steam Proton at the moment.


3. Restart your Steam
After you have successfully activated Steam Proton, click "OK" and Steam will ask you to restart it for the changes to take effect. Restart it. Your computer will now play all of steam's whitelisted games seamlessly.


4. Launch Stardew Valley on Linux:
Before you can use Steam Proton, you must first download the Stardew Valley Windows game from Steam. When you download Stardew Valley for the first time, you will notice that the download size is slightly larger than the size of the game.
This happens because Steam will download your chosen Steam Proton version with this game as well. After the download is complete, simply click the "Play" button.

What is Northern Lights? Features and Description

Northern Lights is a first-person survival experience in which you step into the shoes of a survivalist, sent on a Siberian island to investigate the disappearance of the crew in charge with a secret facility, whose contact with the motherland was lost due to abnormal weather conditions.



You play the role of a survivalist that was sent on a rescue mission and ended up trapped on an island whose climate has suffered mysterious and drastic changes. Massive blizzards, ice-cold temperatures and hungered predators are some of the dangers to which you have to survive.

This is the core experience of Northern Lights. In less than a second, you find yourself helpless in front of the ruthless arctic nature. From being the hunter, you became the hunted. Stranded far from any human habitation, you have to endure the harsh arctic conditions, hunt for supplies, explore this abandoned world and find a way to escape the island. There is no manual to show you how to survive. Your success depends on getting out there and using all your abilities to master basic wilderness survival skills.



  • Free will: Each sandbox experience has a variety of potential endings to it. You have the option to ignore these endings and survive as many days as possible or complete certain quests in order to leave the island.
  • Choices & Outcomes: Keeping your stats under control is crucial. Not keeping your Hunger, Thirst, Body temperature and Fatigue in balance can have repercussions on your in-game Sanity.
  • Only the strongest can survive: In Northern Lights you will find a wide range of activities you can do. Be ready to hunt, fish, scavenge for food and gear items, map your surroundings, start fires, craft items, maintain your gear and most importantly, endure the harsh environment with its predators and the variety of possibly deadly afflictions you could contract.
  • Be the hunter or become hunted: Diverse wildlife, ranging from ferocious predators such as Bears and Wolves to non-threatening animals such as the Reindeer, Moose, Foxes, Boars, Seals, and more to come in future updates!
  • A broad and animated world: The island measures 100 square kilometers and it contains a fine balance between pure nature and an abandoned world composed of a variety of locations. Exploration can be done on foot or if you are lucky enough, with a snowmobile.
  • Pick your challenge: You can choose between four difficulty scenarios, made for every kind of player, from beginners who want to explore the world in peace, to skilled survivors who want to experience a hardcore challenge.
