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.
Observe is a grand strategy simulation game where you craft custom scenarios with Scenario Editor, program a custom AI with a built-in AI Studio, and watch procedurally generated alternate histories unfold in History Shuffle across 3400+ regions. All future updates included, no paid DLC ever!
Observe, is a grand strategy simulation where you just don't play. You create the rules and the AI behaviors and watch them unfold. This is essentially a platform where you craft scenarios, program AI behaviors, and witness unique alternate histories develop!
The heart of Observe is the ability to program your own AI and watch it compete against others. Through AI Studio, where you have access to documentation you can create an AI, then assign it to a country of your choosing, and put others' AI's to different countries and test your strategy.
Create complex decision-making algorithms using MiniScript
Watch your strategy compete against others
Learn how the game works from documentation that is included in the AI Studio
Assign different AIs to different countries and create unique behaviors for each nation
The AI Studio features an intuitive interface with documentation built right in. Even if you've never coded before, you'll find yourself creating simple behaviors in minutes. For experienced programmers, the depth is limitless.
The Scenario Editor gives you complete control over your simulations:
Create and customize countries with unique colors, names, and starting territories
Then modify 3400+ regions. Their names, development levels, and population are all customizable
Adjust global parameters like starting dates, time formats, technology levels and even ocean colors
You can save your scenarios, edit them whenever you want, and share them with the community
Save indivual countries to your library to be used in the History Shuffle feature
Every aspect of the world is customizable. Want to see how history might unfold if the Roman Empire survived into modern times? Or what would happen if all continents banded together? The Scenario Editor makes it possible.
Observe's most unique feature, History Shuffle creates procedurally generated scenarios that provide endless entertainment:
Automatically combines countries from your library into unexpected new scenarios
Witness the Mongol Empire, U.S.A, and Roman Empire compete on the same map
Set to "endless" mode to automatically generate new scenarios after each conclusion without clicking anything
Perfect background entertainment while working or relaxing
With History Shuffle, you'll never run out of fresh content to observe.
Observe was built from the ground up with performance in mind:
3400+ detailed regions across the entire world map
Optimized simulation runs at 60+ FPS even in late-game scenarios
Complete simulations in 10-15 minutes for quick, satisfying sessions
Seamless wraparound map. Cross the Pacific and find yourself in the Americas
The simulation is in depth, all regions have real-world (adjusted) population data and manpower is limited
With supply system, it means that encircled regions or overseas regions with no port connections are easy targets
Map modes to help you understand the world's situation
Beyond solo play, Observe features a unique tournament system:
Annual AI programming competitions where the best strategists compete
A challenge to adapt to surprise game updates and new mechanics
Watch the tournament to see crazy player created strategies or join it to be crowned for the year
Since we haven't had a tournament yet, you have the chance to become our first king!
I'm committed to a player-friendly policy:
One purchase gets you the complete game
Regular content additions based on community feedback, and this is not an empty promise either. Once our community forms, we will hold polls, and discuss new possible features together
This game's creation has been a very lonely work for me. And I am excited to make that no longer the case!
