.. Steam documentation master file, created by Wine links --------------------- `Winetricks github page `_ Steam on Linux notes --------------------- I did a silly thing. I decided to run Steam on CentOS 7. Steam was much simpler on Ubuntu, but I am foolish. Getting it to run ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I copied the steam tarball into my home folder, then extracted it into a folder called src. In order to run steam I bring up a terminal and execute ~/src/steam/steam. One game I had trouble with was Portal 2. It seems that the 32-bit side of steam wasn't able to find the 32-bit libraries. I added a file under ``/etc/ld.so.conf.d/`` and called it `local.conf` .. code-block:: none :emphasize-lines: 2 [john@pie]$ cat /etc/ld.so.conf.d/local.conf /lib/i386-linux-gnu/ Fallout 4 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Proton runs brilliantly for the supported games. Other games - like Fallout 4 - have certain challenges. One common theme here is to install winetricks so that you can obtain an 'xact' driver. `A github page describing some driver tweaks `_ There exists a user settings file at `~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Proton 3.16/user_settings.py` that allows you override wine default values. One use of the config file is to `override the esync setting `_ After Fallout has run the first time it leaves a preferences folder in `~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/377160/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/My Documents/My Games/Fallout4/`. Inside this folder is an INI file `Fallout4Prefs.ini` where you can leave some Fallot-native parameters. One parameter is `bComputeShaderDeferredTiledLighting=1 `_ which will apparently solve some lighting issues. .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 2 :caption: Contents:
