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.
Combine chemicals, prepare potions, and battle hordes of mythical monsters in this action-packed, chemistry-themed roguelike. You'll fight your way through a procedurally-generated science lab, exploding endless enemies and solving various puzzles, all to earn coins and upgrade your equipment.
Chemical Combat is an action-packed, chemistry-themed roguelike in which choosing the right combination of chemicals is crucial. Armed with a diverse array of elements, you'll need to concoct potions to trigger a variety of deadly reactions in order to protect yourself from the numerous mythical monsters on the loose.
Set following a containment breach in a highly dangerous research facility, you'll battle your way through a maze of interconnected rooms, splashing enemies with explosive elixirs, solving various puzzles and minigames, and collecting coins to upgrade your equipment. Venture progressively deeper and tackle ever-tougher enemies with up to 36 unique upgrades, refining your tactics along the way.
With 16 elements to choose from and 30 unique reactions, there are numerous strategies you can adopt: from a deadly damage over time build to one focused on powerful explosions. Different enemies have different weaknesses, so plan accordingly...
With four unique biomes - monsters, magic, robots, and hell - and procedurally generated dungeons, each expedition will present you with a similar but distinct experience. Take on 16 different enemies, each with different mechanics and attacks, as well as 7 randomised minigames/puzzles for varied gameplay.
Choose from the 36 upgrades available in the skill tree to find your optimal playstyle, whether it be aggressive, defensive, or utility-focused. Spend your hard-earned coins in any of the four quadrants - reaction, experimentation, exploration, and survivability - or on unlocking new elements in the quarry.
Chemical Combat is currently in early access and there is plenty of content planned for future updates, but don't worry - the game is perfectly functional and enjoyable in its current state! Over the coming months, I plan to add as much of the following as is possible, but nothing is guaranteed:
Boss fights at the end of each floor
A few new floors (not 100% guaranteed)
Many new reactions (including a new summoning playstyle)
Logbook entries containing lore, strategies, wiki entries, and more
Steam achievements (and maybe cosmetics, although this is less likely)
Permanent upgrades, purchasable with a new currency
A revamped upgrade system with more specific paths
Shop rooms with collectable items and temporary buffs
Improved procedural generation with more uniquely-shaped rooms
