Proton games on Steam

Don't use Steam from Flatpak

Enabling Proton in Steam

[Top bar menu] -> Steam (first one) -> Settings -> Steam Play -> Advanced -> Enable Steam Play for all titles -> [Choose latest stable version]

Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines (VtMB)

https://www.protondb.com/app/2600

TODOs

  • make quick save / quick load work on original keybindings (F9?)

Setup

set proton 3-16.9

Install Bloodlines with Steam

Run the game to create prefix directory

Check the VtmB install folder in Steam local files

  • Right click the game in library -> local files
  • might look like this: /home/USER/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/common/Vampire The Masquerade - Bloodlines NOTE: use absolute paths in options

Unofficial Patch setup

add game [button below the games' list] -> non-steam -> browse [button below the list that can be loading] -> pick unofficial patch EXE file

Install wine package.

In unofficial patch properties:

  • set run prefix WINEPREFIX=(absolute vtmb directory) wine VTMBup112rc5.3.exe
  • Force compatibility tool - proton 3-16.9
    • this may be unavailable before restarting steam completely after first enabling Proton

Run the unofficial patch

  • find the location of vampire.exe in your steam files: [steam library list] -> vtmb -> right-click -> properties -> local files -> etc.
  • put that as absolute path as the input for the installer
  • select options: "plus patch", "patch extra"

VtmB steam game properties

Run in directory - VTMB dir from steam

Force compatibility tool - proton 3-16.9

  • this may be unavailable before restarting steam completely after first enabling Proton

Set game launch options in steam: -full -game Unofficial_Patch

Savegames sync with Syncthing

Saves are normally in a place like this, under the steam's "local files" directory ./.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/common/Vampire The Masquerade - Bloodlines/Unofficial_Patch/save/

Make that directory into a Syncthing directory

Keybindings

quick save - F5 (F9 crashes on proton) quick load - unset printscreen - f12 (TODO does that work, even?) stop disciplines - middle mouse button (works even on a touchpad)

autorenew disciplines - off

Notes

Hear the logos but can't skip them? Game launches in full screen but everything's black, and you hear the logos? Press Alt+F4 once, and the logos should appear, and you'll be able to skip them with some button.

no screen after alt-tab out of the game Press alt+f4 when you're at the blank screen after alt-tabbing back into the game. Something should happen, and you should be taken back to the game.

Morrowind

Install from Steam with both Bloodmoon and Tribunal.

Then install mods (TODO figure this out):

What about OpenMV? https://openmw.org/en/

Increase fov:

/home/butla/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Morrowind/Morrowind.ini TODO - no option to set in vanilla, Morrowind, it seems.
