Lutris is a platform similar to PlayOnLinux that allows one-click installs for a lot of games, often with scripts that apply settings that are known to work with that particular game. I'm currently using Lutris instead of system wine, because I had some hiccups after updating wine (and with Manjaro being a rolling release, it updates constantly) and because it is very easy to handle additional apps/environmental variables (libstrangle, vkBasalt, etc) with Lutris. I installed the Game, quickly tested it, installed OBSE & the GOG loader normally and instead of OblivionLauncher.exe or Oblivion.exe, I just put obse_loader.exe in all the scripts. Wineįor the GOG version, I followed Kat's guide, which also worked quite well. If you need to make this work, check out Kat's blog or my own post about modding Oblivion on Steam. I didn't want to use the Steam version, though, since from what I've read OBSE is a huge pain in the butt with it, since you need to edit game files directly. I had to use the launch command PROTON_USE_WINED3D11=1 %command% ( might have been a problem with Vulkan on my end) and it had way better performance with Proton 4.11-13 than 5.0-9, which at the time of this post is the most recent one. Getting Oblivion to run by itself is easy enough. I'm using Manjaro with XFCE and a Nvidia card. Kat's blog has been immensely helpful (and I probably drove them mad with all my dumb questions). Between people telling me that my PC will blow up and I won't be able to play anything on Linux and instructions telling me that it's easy to fix bug x, just edit wine and compile it yourself, I wanted to write down what worked for me. Setting up games has pretty much been a case of installing Steam and Lutris and clicking "play". Now please keep in mind I am a total noob and don't know anything about the inner workings of Linux. But finally, there was almost nothing else left to try to get to work.Īs for the reason why I avoided it, I guess I was kinda scared, because the more I liked my new system, the more I feared that my favorite game just wouldn't work like I wanted it. Sorting all my bookmarks of the last 10 years. I did about everything else before I started doing that. Truth be told, I avoided installing Oblivion until the last moment. A lot of my programs work, too, and I found alternatives for most of the rest. Many of my favorite games are native, or work excellent in Proton/Wine. For the most part this has been going well and most problems I ran into were expected. As mentioned in my last post, I recently moved to Linux.
