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.
Blacksmith: Ignite the Forge is a mix of a simulator, strategy, and auto-battler. Become a master smith, craft various weapons, and enhance them with magical runes. Equip a team of adventurers with your hand-made tools, send them on missions, gather loot to upgrade your forge, and save the land!
Become a master blacksmith who owns and develops a full-fledged forge! In your smithing fortress, there are various rooms of different types at your disposal, such as the mines, smithing room, tavern, shop, or battle-preparation chamber.
Collect various metal ores in the mines. Smelt them in your furnace to get alloys with special effects. Then it’s time for some proper smithing! Take your hamer and hit the alloy during a special minigame to reshape and forge it into a powerful weapon. Harness rune magic to enhance it with even more special affixes. Depending on the precision of your work, weapons will be of different qualities. And the better their quality, the more effective (and deadlier) they are.
To put your weapons to good use, assemble a team of mercenaries and arm them with your creations. Adventurers have different combat skills that support various playstyles and enhance team building. As your companions also possess different statistics, make sure to equip them with the right weapon type to maximize their potential.
Once the arrangements are ready, it’s time to send your team on missions to save the land from chaos! When your mercenaries embark on quests, they engage enemies in auto-battler-type combat, so the pre-battle preparations will be crucial to succeed. Expect to face both regular opponents, as well as unique and dangerous bosses. Each victory grants experience and makes your team even stronger. But be careful—if any of your warriors fall in combat, you will lose them and their gear forever!
During expeditions, you gather valuable loot such as gold and metal ores, and receive special rewards, including new weapon templates. Use that to expand and develop your forge, buy new materials in the shop, craft even more various weapons, and bring your smithing skills to perfection! You can also test your craft during the daily blacksmithing challenges, which require extra attention to detail. Complete them to get gold and precious resources. Remember, the better smith you become, the higher the chances of your team being victorious!
Every day, the forces of evil grow in strength, making the enemies you encounter more threatening. Each victory gives your province some extra time to survive and prepare for the final encounter with chaos incarnate. Mastering your smithing skills, good resource management, and thoughtful team-building strategy will be crucial to being victorious and saving the world from annihilation!
Blacksmith, do you have what it takes to save the world? The fate is in your hands (or in your hammer)!
