Guide: Installing Saratoga 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 Saratoga? Features and Description

Saratoga is a digital implementation of the Saratoga, Volume I of the Great Battles of the American Revolution wargame published by GMT Games and designed by Mark Miklos.

Saratoga is a solo or two-person turn-based strategy wargame that is Volume I in the Great Battles of the American Revolution wargame series created by designer Mark Miklos and published by GMT Games. The game focuses on the Battle of Saratoga on September 19, 1777 which proved to be the turning point of the American Revolution.

Players can battle human opponents online or play against the game's AI. There are three scenarios that offer opportunities to explore alternate histories, including a British counterattack on the next day.

Saratoga features gameplay based on the historical wargaming boardgames of the 70's and 80's. Players maneuver markers that represent their units on a hexagonal map that mimics the gameboard and cardboard counters of traditional boardgames. Players alternate their turns with the first player being determined either by the scenario or randomly.  During their turn a player will conduct maneuver for their units and then engage in combat using units with capabilities based on the historical record.  Combat is resolved through die rolls modified by terrain, the ability of nearby leaders and the characteristics of the units in the combat.

Saratoga is Volume I of the enormously popular Great Battles of the American Revolution series designed by Mark Miklos and published by GMT Games.

Each side has an historically accurate order of battle that encourages the player to attempt to outdo the generals of history. Saratoga has scenarios that simulate "what-if" situations as well.  What if the British had counter-attacked the next day? What if Benedict Arnold had gotten his way and been free to attack?

Combat includes modifiers for leadership, each unit's abilities and terrain to provide a realistic simulation. There is also a "press your luck" component that allows players to spend momentum to modify die rolls or in some cases to re-roll dice.
