README
| ℹ️ | Head over to [stable version](https://github.com/luxtorpeda-dev/luxtorpeda) if you want to play the games right now.
|--- |---
*This version of Luxtorpeda is a prototype, that was never released.*
*I intend to fundamentally redesign the tool and release it as Luxtorpeda 2.0,
but until that happens, install up-to-date version of
[Luxtorpeda 1.x][luxtorpeda-dev-install], which supports
[many more game engines][luxtorpeda-dev-packages].*
# Luxtorpeda
[](https://discord.gg/8mFhUPX)
Steam Play compatibility tool to run games using native Linux engines; [project overview](https://github.com/dreamer/luxtorpeda/wiki).
This is a sister project of
[Boxtron](https://github.com/dreamer/boxtron/) and
[Roberta](https://github.com/dreamer/roberta).
## Pre-requisites
Compatibility tool will work on any modern 64-bit Linux distribution.
All packaged games are compiled for Steam Runtime environment and require no
additional dependencies.
**Using Luxtorpeda with [Steam native runtime](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Steam/Troubleshooting#Steam_native_runtime) may or may not work, but is not supported.**
## Installation (using tarball)
*This is pre-release quality software, expect bugs and missing features.*
Head over to [luxtorpeda-dev][luxtorpeda-dev-install] for stable release.
## Installation (debug build, from source)
0. Download the latest version of Rust: https://www.rust-lang.org/ and verify that openssl is installed on your system.
Debian, Ubuntu et consortes
$ sudo apt install libssl-dev
Fedora
$ sudo dnf install openssl-devel
1. Close Steam.
2. Clone the repository, then use makefile to trigger `cargo build` and install:
$ git clone https://github.com/dreamer/luxtorpeda.git
$ cd luxtorpeda
$ make dev-install
3. Start Steam.
4. In game properties window select "Force the use of a specific Steam Play
compatibility tool" and select "Luxtorpeda (dev)".
## Known issues
- If game does not start with error *"No command line defined"*, it means you
need to force-update game package to a new format. Find game package tarball
in `~/.cache/luxtorpeda//`, remove it, and start the game again.
- Solus and Mint users might be affected by unintended dependency on `libssl.so.1.1`,
see [#42](https://github.com/dreamer/luxtorpeda/issues/42) for details.
## Supported titles
Just click "Play" and Luxtorpeda will download and install the package for you.
You need to select Luxtorpeda as a compatibility tool first, of course.
