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.
In this psychedelic RTS you don’t collect resources – you capture Spawners that make units for free. The game contains over 50 different units, but every Spawner offers a choice of only 2. Cleverly devise your expansion on the map to compile the strongest force.
Gather wilful servants by enslaving varied tribes –
Collect trinkets to enhance your fighters in unique ways –
The game heavily aims to capture that old-school RTS feeling:
Brute pathing: Every unit pathfinds individually. No unit blobs and no pushing other units out of the way
Brute targeting: Every unit targets individually. No overkill prevention
Brute casting: Every command is executed by all units that receive it
You can expect a few modern features such as:
Infinite selection size
Select-All-Army hotkey
Select-All-Production hotkey, incl. setting rally point
The game is explicitly designed to be interesting to play in spite of these capabilities.
HyperCoven plays like an RTS, but production of units is automatic.
Capture different Coven which summon troopers for you to send into battle.
Each trooper has up to 7 different attributes that can be enhanced with trinkets found in the world and buildings erected in base.
The Campaign spans 10 hand-crafted missions and a tutorial.
Conquest Mode is about venturing out to conquer the whole (randomized) world, as you would venture into a dungeon.
Invasion Mode is a take on the "wave defense" idea, the world is more sparse, but extra-dimensional invaders are warping in and drop valuable items.
Multiplayer Co-Op available for Invasion and Conquest.
Multiplayer PvP action on over 10 different maps. A plethora of options to customize your match between try-hard and super random.
Multiplayer netcode is optimised for latency and does not propagate lag between players. If one participant has a bad connection, the match still runs smoothly for everyone else.
