Install .NET Desktop Runtime with Proton

30. August 2025 - 17:30

Hi all,

I have recently downloaded, installed, and (mostly) run Star Wars Rebellion, a Windows game released in 1998, via Proton with Steam. My question is related to a fan-produced patch and update that fixes a lot of bugs, updates the graphics, and improves gameplay. I have attempted to also install that patch via Wine & Proton and received the following error in both when I attempt to run it:

I have also attempted to run it on a virtual machine but that's less stable and functional.

How do I install the .NET Desktop Runtime of the appropriate version and ensure the app will see it?

Game runs with wine but not proton

30. August 2025 - 17:16

I'm trying to run a game on Arch Linux, protondb recent reports show it working with GE-Proton10-12

But this game has denuvo, that DRM that prevents you from running a game even if you legally own it, and so despite owning it legally, I can't play it.

I got a copy from my friend who happens to have a cracked version, so he gave it to me on a flash drive, and I gave it a try using just wine and it worked. I figured I would set it up as a non-steam game, but when I try to launch it with proton, it doesn't launch. Here is a log with Proton-GE-10-12 on a fresh prefix: https://pastebin.com/7D32RZDf

I tried uploading the logs to an llm, and it insisted that I need to install dotnet48 with protontricks, but when I do that the installer tells me that its already installed.

My default wine prefix, the one that worked, has a lot of stuff installed from tinkering with other games, and I'm not sure what it has that proton is missing.

Issues with LAN on some games

30. August 2025 - 17:11

I've been on Linux (Fedora 42) for about two weeks now and I've finally managed to get some time to play some games. I've installed Steam and Heroic Launcher and both appear to be work with most games, but I've run into an issue that involves LAN multiplayer games like Borderlands 2, 3, PS and Quake II Enhanced through Steam and Heroic. The games themselves run perfectly fine, but when attempting to host or join a LAN specific game no games can be found. I've tried everything I found Googling like checking winetricks cmd to see if I have a network connection (which I do), installing various dlls and Windows components, disabled firewalls on both my Linux PC and the Windows PC, but I'm still at a loss.

What raises further questions are games like Divinity Original Sin II which also has LAN multiplayer and that works perfectly without any tweaking. I can't figure out what Divinity is doing right, but Borderlands is doing wrong.

Flatscreen Linux gaming ( apart from anticheat ) is getting better and better. But i am unsure about what we are doing with VR?

30. August 2025 - 17:06

I have been admining linux for 2 years and dailying it for 8 months. However I still boot into windows on my gaming machine due to VR.

Is there any development ongoing that is going to change this aspect? Right now ALVR works but there is no spacewarp support so anything that isnt hitting 90 fps at all times is going to make you sick. WiVRn has spacewarp but alot of games it won't launch.

So yeah. What are you guys experience?

Hogwarts Legacy: Windows 11 vs Linux (CachyOS)

30. August 2025 - 16:59

It's not really a tech support post, I just don't know how to flair it. It's more of a way to know if my pc is crazy or if it has happened to anyone else.

So, I tried Hogwarts Legacy on Windows 11 and CachyOS and what shocked me is the RAM used while gaming...

Windows 11 ends up using up to 26gb of ram, while CachyOS stays below 10gb...

Anyone else had this experience? Non necessarily with HL, mind you. Just an interesting observation.

Have a good day.

Proton games freezing after a few minutes of play.

30. August 2025 - 16:11

Recently, all of my steam games that use proton have been freezing after a few minutes of play. I have tested them with wine, and on there they work fine, but there are a few games that only work on proton, so i need help here. I have tried changing proton versions, clearing steam cache, and other things, but it always freezes after a few minutes. Please help!

The Classic Marathon trilogy has been updated on Steam with native Linux support!

30. August 2025 - 16:02

These are modern ports of the original Marathon games. If you're unfamiliar they're a trilogy of 90s FPS games developed by Bungie, the same team behind Halo. At least when Halo was good.

They previously ran on a Windows version of the Aleph One source port. The three recently got updated with a lot of new features including bespoke, native Linux ports.

The best thing is they're 100% free!

Classic Marathon (1)

Classic Marathon 2

Classic Marathon 3

Issues with steamwebhelper

30. August 2025 - 14:09

Most likely a recurring topic within many subredits that are about gaming on linux, but I still haven't found an answer to this from whatever source I look at. Long story short: just installed Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, went through whatever crap I had to go through installing, finally got on and installed the essentials (Discord, Steam, etc.) and upon launching steam I'm getting a steamwebhelper error. Any advice?
