Guide: Installing Pivot XL 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.


System Requirements

Windows Pc Requirements

Minimum:
  • OS: Windows 7 (possibly xp as well, no promises)
  • Processor: Dual Core+
  • Memory: 2 GB RAM
  • Graphics: 512MB+
  • Storage: 500 MB available space
  • Additional Notes: It's possible Pivot XL uses less resources than that weird old Windows screensaver with the flying winged toasters. Man, I should really read about that, what the heck was that all about?

Recommended:
  • OS: Windows 10
  • Processor: I bet if they made a 5 core processor it would be really weird, but could run this game well.
  • Memory: 4 GB RAM
  • Graphics: GeForce GTX 1070 (Pivot XL has one less effect than Bing Bong XL, so you don't need all that 1080 power anymore)
  • Storage: 502 MB available space
  • Sound Card: Will I hit my second wind on writing (clever?!) sound card details? There's only one way to know... --> Turn to page 37 if you want to know. --> Turn to page 52 if you think this bit went terribly.
  • Additional Notes: The universe is a cruel uncaring void. The key to being happy isn't a search for meaning, it's to just keep yourself busy with unimportant nonsense, and eventually you'll be dead.

  • OS: Most 32-bit and 64-bit Linux OS Variants

What is Pivot XL? Features and Description

Pivot XL is the second of three games in my minimalist arcade series that share aesthetics while having different control and game play. It is an addictive 'just-one-more-round' score chaser, perfect for playing while waiting in queue for another game.


Pivot your character within the screens borders as you barely avoid obstacles, collect points, and smash helpful power-ups. Try to survive as long as you can! The second in my series of three minimalist arcade games.



Simply pressing the pivot button allows you to begin spinning in the flipped direction. Easy one button control with a Gamepad/Controller, Keyboard, or mouse.



  • Easy to learn, simple controls on keyboard, controller or mouse
  • An endless, fast paced and challenging arcade style game play that constantly gets harder
  • Unlock a handful of unique cosmetic skins for your player, including ones from other Nickervision Studios games
  • 'Close Call' system that awards extra points for close calls with obstacles.
  • Steam Achievements, Leader board, and Trading cards (coming soon)! (with emoticons & profile wallpapers)
  • Steam Cloud Support
  • Perfect for playing a round while in Queue for another game :)
  • The in game audio/SFX was provided by my mouth making noises into a crumby consumer mic and some royalty free SFX from FreeSFX.
  • In game song is meHiLove's - "All Night Long"


Pivot XL is the second of three games in my minimalist arcade series that share aesthetics while having different control and game play. This is an 'XL' version of my mobile game 'Pivot'. I have added/changed a variety of things to make it more suitable for the Steam platform and improved a lot of code and features based on knowledge gained since I originally made it. I have been learning to make games by making games and love creating small-yet-solid arcade games with simple mechanics. Please expect 'Pivot XL' to be a small, re-playable, arcade score-chaser game where the only basic goals are to constantly beat your previous score and unlock a handful of cosmetic skins for the character. I greatly appreciate feedback and will do my best to ensure support for my games. Please contact me through Twitter, My Website, or the forums if you encounter something wrong with the game, something misleading on the store page, or you just want to say hello.

Thank you for taking a moment to read this; I really hope you enjoy playing my game.
