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.

Windows Pc Requirements

Minimum:

• Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system
  
• OS: Windows 10 Windows 11 recommended for 11th gen processors and newer
  
• Processor: works out of the box i3-1115G4 processor tested with windows 11 where youd have to follow steps under additional notes to play intel celeron n4500 tested with windows 10 expect poor performance at the minimum spec multiplayer has not been tested on the minimum spec 64 bit processor recommended processor should be running from 2.6 to 2.8 ghz constantly and should be a processor from 2021 m2 nvme drive with a 24000 minimum 24000 gigabyte maximum required at this spec this can be found on a asus laptop br1100ck. preferably the m2 drive is not the same drive that windows is installed to use 32 bit open the binaries folder and go to 32 bit then click on Udk
  
• Graphics: intel celeron 2021 uhd graphics check your celeron processor release date by typing it into google.
  
• DirectX: Version 11
  
• Storage: 26 GB available space
  
• Additional Notes: expect 2.5 second load times for challenge areas based on a n4020 with 24000 minimum 24000 maximum page file with a 2gb download for the game logs may increase this. process lasso required settings based on a n4500 celeron udk cpu priority above normal process watchdog udk.exe if above 80 percent set io priority to low if below 75 percent cpu set io priority to high. under options general set the refresh interval of the governor and of the gui to 2 seconds. set cpu priority of process lasso to always idle. set cpu priority of process governor to below normal set cpu affinity of process governor to use only cpu 0. these optimizations to process lasso reduce the amount of cpu overhead that process lasso has which is neededfor this cpu. if using an n4500 celeron. asus laptop br1100ck required. C drive eemc page file required 750 megabytes. this is a low performance drive. maximum throughput can be achieved by using a smaller page file. mileage may vary D drive nvme drive set page file to 24 gigabytes. page files are static for example minimum 750 maximum 750 minimum 24000 maximum 24000 resolution required 640 x 480 th folder unfortunately because the game makes use of bats and has dependencies this game may not work well on linux which sucks. to run the game on steam download throttlestop make sure to turn it on. the icon on in taskbar will be red if its on. set the following settings click on the c1 button set package c state locked to c1 set c1 undemotion to on set c3 demotion to on set pkg undemotion to on turn c1e off do not turn speed shift on as this can cause instability and crashes. in throttlestop click tpl make sure under power limit controls disable controls is not used then disable the short power limit it can cause the cpu to go over its power limit and this causes the cpu to throttle. make sure the short power limit is not used and that the turbo time limit slider is set all the way to the right. then make sure to use sync mimo. the settings for setting long power limit and sync mimo need to be reapplied everytime you start up throttlestop.

Recommended:

• Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system

• DirectX: Version 11
  
• Storage: 10 GB available space
  
• Additional Notes: it is theoretically possible with process lasso realtime cpu priority and io priority low to get .984 second loading of the challenge areas on a fast computer.ased on a 8000 minimum 8000 maximum page file with a 2gb download for the game logs may increase this.on modern hardware game runs very well with a 62 fps framerate that can be adjusted in settings.

explore a deep and endless ocean instead of fighting your enemies. a 5 mile plus world awaits. have you ever? You know what I've always wondered about porcupine sex. They have all those quills and poison. It just seems dangerous to me and yet ive never heard of any

*on linux requires proton 7 proton 8 9 10 and experimental wont work.

*this game contains a third party eula compact between users players and developers of unreal development kit 3 games.

the game has now been approved for release on steam.weve essentially complleted the work on the game there is 2 minutes 30 seconds of in engine movie sequences added each with its own challenge gameplay section that really adds to the comedy of the movie sequence. theyre really great.

tomorrow well be connecting all the movie sequences together back to the game world. in order to spawn you in the right place for the 7 challenge movie sequence game sections you need to spawn around where you are in the game world when the section ends. but until all the movie sequences are done some of the links wouldnt have all of the game world on them since they werent made yet.

with the game complete those can now be added. we also need to add the additional achievements for all those movie sequences which is trivial. there are also some suprisingly simple things I need to do but I already know how to do them. there isnt any thinking involved for it per say but it will be tedious to implement.

the game is a fun showcase of a minutes worth of entertaining in engine movie sequences. 1 of the movie sequences talks about porcupine sex. the other talks about abortion. there are 3 achievements. one for playing the porcupine sex movie sequence. another for playing the abortion and eggs movie sequence. another for exploring the in game world. there is a multiplayer component where you and a friend can explore the world possibly activate some of the movie sequence and attack each other. the world is the largest size possible for a udk 3 map. the world is mostly empty but you can move across it quite effortlessly so fast that youll often hover over the ground

. the multiplayer should provide some fun. its designed to easily be played on one screen with one keyboard in local multiplayer. you could of course use two keyboards if you want to but this mainly works because windows treats two keyboards as if there the same as 1 keyboard. if using parsec or remote play together you can play with friends easily with them using their keyboard over the internet which controls the host over the internet. one of the frustrations with the movie sequences made for life in world which is the game we first made the map for.  the map was too large. it was difficult and frustrating to set up port forwarding and it was difficult to find people on the huge map. this is solved in life's a beach mainly out of necessity.

this is mainly for people reviewing the game but a new section has been added with a red ocean texture. this leads to a movie sequence about me talking about bleeding from going to the dentist a couple of years ago. there is an ai you can avoid that looks  similar to the demon tide heartless in kingdom hearts 3. it's basically just a bunny firing bottles but it hovers characteristically like demon tide in kh3 as it fires bottles similar to demon tide in kingdom hearts 3 it must be a characteristic of the random behavior in unreal engine.

*game has 2 minutes 30 seconds worth of movie sequences a large map and a working multiplayer component that takes place on one screen. comma  teleports player 1 to player 2. r teleports player 2 to player 1. the game should be worth 3 dollars

steam deck compatibility:

game only works on proton 7.0.6

if the game takes more than 30 seconds to boot. verify integrity of game files. the launching game message should take less time on steam deck. you may want to do this after every game update. not sure why it happens. may be the steam runtime. don't entirely know.

multiplayer compatibility:

multiplayer has been tested succesfully at 1080p and 4k. smaller screens such as the steam deck may work at 720p if both players are playing on a small portable screen such as a steam deck. 720p and below are not tested for multiplayer. fov adjust depending on resolution. playing at a lower resolution is more about getting a closer view of the movie sequences which also look good at the selected field of view for 1080p. each fov takes advantage of the resolution advantage of each resolution.

*although two steam decks can be host and client through remote play together. the fov isn't high enough on steam deck to help you find the second player on the same screen should they get lost. that being said you can see small details in 720p on the steam decks screen but if player  2 moves too far to the left or right. you may need to teleport them to your position using r or be warped to their position using comma.

steam deck compatibility: tested with proton 7.0.6. proton 7.0.6 is the correct proton.

Summary:

say no to splitscreen multiplayer. all the multiplayer takes place on the same screen on the same tv locally. you don't need two tv's or internet to play local multiplayer

*assuming you copy the game's files from the Steam install folder or better yet run them by clicking the run 1080p etc bats without using Steam. then you can definetly play without an internet connection.

Have you ever wanted to explore a deep and endless ocean instead of fighting your enemies. have you ever? You know what I've always wondered about porcupine sex. They have all those quills and poison. It just seems dangerous to me and yet I've never heard of any porcupines dying from sex in the span of human history. Its just something we never really think about.

what can you do: you can explore a massive map in udk 3. the map is bigger than a typical udk 3 map so it was challenging to make it extend as far as it does without running into engine limitations it's probably about 5 miles.

the game does something clever architecturally. the game doesn't use mipmaps or level of detail. all the assets are always the same resolution. but because the engine is so old it runs great on a variety of hardware even modern Celerons. ive played it on a 7700t but that's not a good example because I can play gta 5 on that.

basic gameplay: this is redundant the rest of the game info is more entertaining, provides more info if you want to get a honest view of what it's like to play the game.

the game has 1 minute of in engine cutscenes. one about me talking about porcupine sex the other about abortion.  in order for player 2 to activate movie sequences they have to teleport you to their location when there near one of the people that does the comedy bits. reaching the end of the map gives you an achievement. listening to both comedy bits in full and reaching the end of the map is currently the extent of tbe achievements.

the idea is to explore the map but a friend can also follow on the same screen in local multiplayer meaning no internet connection is required to play together but with steam remote play together you can play with a friend over the internet. you can also use other software as well to do the same thing.

we chose to use remote play together because of it's support for steam deck.  essentially you can drop objects on the ground that eliminate the other players health they also cause you to move to the other players position. those items have different collision ranges than the things you attack people with that move.  the map is large and the movie sequences are entertaining and can be explored with a friend. with the amount of content in the game we are selling the game for 3 dollars. you can see a solar eclipse by activating a switch in the game.

play local multiplayer on the same screen as friends on the same tv.

you can place things on the screen that kill instantly or you can fire both horizontal and vertical objects.

there are two in engine sequences that can be discovered. one about porcupine sex. the other about abortion. the game cost 3 dollars at the moment. if you play with friends it may be worthwhile. the in engine sequences are funny and well animated and there's always a massive world to move across.

the two movie sequences are triggered by moving close to a person on the map. there is an achievement for each movie sequence and a third achievement for reaching the end of the map.

well it's been a long ride. the game was originally based on unreal tournament 3 but those assets have now been removed.

you can now fly an ungodly speed across the map faster than sonic. you can also discover the secret of porcupine sex with friends and explore a huge map all on a single screen.

Steam windows 7 obsolescence:

the game is designed with windows 10 and 11 in mind. however the game is drm free and the game does work on windows 7 service pack 2 64 bit. when Steam stops working on windows 7. this game will still be launchable from the steamapps folder without launching Steam so youll always be able to play it. although the game is not designed around 32 bit. it makes extensive use of memory. the game can possibly be played in 32 bit. just go to binaries/32bit/udk to give it a go. 32 bit is not officially supported.

game can be played with 1 or two players. both players play on the same screen. the fov is adjusted depending on resolution.

you don't have to spawn your 2nd player into the game. the 2nd player spawns next to player 1 immediately when the game starts. this uses up no resources. if for some reason you start playing as player 1 but you want player 2 to join you. you can press r to teleport player 2 to player 1 or comma to teleport yourself back to player 2.

the game takes place on a single screen and can be played on a single tv. 4k is recommended for multiplayer. even 8k is but it has not been tested. in theory it should be a great experience.

when playing on a 8k screen tilt the view forward so you can't see behind you. this gives you full advantage of the fantastic field of view that is used for 8k.

m exits the game mainly used as a safeguard in case someone uses the steam deck bat on windows.

7  720p windowed this setting is only for steam deck this setting causes glitches when used in windows os  useful for using utilities like my utility process linux for steam deck. process linux for steam deck can be found can be found in community hub discussions warning about steam deck support

8 720p fullscreen  windowed this setting is only for steam deck this setting causes glitches when used in windows os

the multiplayer part of this game is 2 player only. 

what if I want to play with two players?

there are several options.

you can share one keyboard. with player 1 controlling the camera with the mouse

you can use two keyboards and a mouse or two keyboards and two mice.

you can play through parsec or steam remote play together.

if using steam remote play together to play with a steam deck if using a 720p resolution then you should only play with another steam deck or other portable device such as another 720p portable device. the screen using the highest resolution needs to be host.

you can play with steam deck and a pc with a higher resolution just make sure the pc with the higher resolution is host.

test are still being run to determine if 720p gaming is possible in multiplayer. on steam deck things are easy to see on the 720p screen. since everything takes place on a single screen seeing details far away is very important. 4k seems to do a good job of this on a large screen but on a smaller screen 720p may be possible.
