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.
Grab your paddles and let's break some bricks! Classic 2D gameplay re-imagined for VR! Choose your vibe: calm & relaxing or fast & frantic! More retro arcade action than you can break a brick at!
Enter the zen forest... This is the classic 2D brick breaking game you know and love, re-imagined for VR with many new features! On the harder difficulties, this can be a fast and frantic game but because VR can be overwhelming to some players and because VR is great for relaxation, emphasis was given to providing a Zen Mode that is calm and stress-free. Play your way!
(( Play 15 Constructed )) 3 difficulties with 15 levels each. Easy, Medium and Hard each have their own unique levels, ball speed, starting lives and 1-up threshold. A high score is recorded for each difficulty.
(( Play 15 Random )) The same difficulty settings as Play 15 Constructed but with procedurally generated levels providing infinite replayability! A high score is recorded for each difficulty.
(( Endless Mode )) Endless procedurally generated levels where the ball speed increases with every level beaten. How long can you last? A high score and a highest level completed are recorded.
(( Zen Mode )) Purely for relaxation or practice, this mode removes the death wall, replaces the normal BGM with a calm BGM and opens up the play area for you to wander around. Without a death wall, there is no way to lose so you can play casually or just sit back and enjoy some brick breaker ASMR!
(( Custom Levels )) This mode will load custom levels from a text file that you are free to edit. You can set your own ball speed, starting lives, 1-up threshold and toggle Zen Mode on/off as well as design your own levels! Instructions are provided in the game folder.
No brick breaker is complete without powerups and ZFBB provides some classic ones mixed with some new ones that take advantage of VR motion controls!
(( Fire )) Fireball shooters are attached to your paddles that you can aim and shoot bricks with but don't forget to return the ball!
(( Leaf )) Grows 4 death wall blockers, 2 on each side, that will prevent the ball from entering the death wall. They disappear when hit, though, so keep track of them!
(( Rock )) Transforms the ball into an unstoppable boulder that will smash through bricks for a limited amount of time!
(( Water )) Increases the base point multiplier from 1.0 to 5.0 for a limited time. Rack up some big points and 1-ups while you can!
(( Whirlwind )) Transforms the ball into a powerful whirlwind that applies area-of-effect damage whenever it hits a brick for a limited time!
(( Lightning )) A lightning railgun is attached to your paddles! It will charge up for a few seconds and you need to balance returning the ball with timing your one and only shot. It is difficult to use but very powerful when mastered!
There are 11 unique cheats in the game that can be permanently unlocked! Some grant small bonuses and some change the game completely! How do you unlock them? That's for you players to discover!
