luxtorpeda VS dayz-linux-cli-launcher

There is also OpenGothic. Which can be used standalone or through Luxtorpeda.

Bit late but luxtorpeda has gzdoom as an option along with qzdl for launching with mods. You just gotta install protonup-qt from the discover store in desktop mode. A quick YouTube/Google search can show you how but that's the rough gist of it.

I use ProtonUp-Qt to get different Proton versions. You can find it there. You could also manually install Lux. Then just select it from the Compatibility tools.

try using Luxtorpeda to install ECWolf to play it instead

Released a new luxtorpeda-dev client (https://github.com/luxtorpeda-dev/luxtorpeda/releases/tag/v63)

There's a project called Luxtorpeda which acts as a compatibility layer in Steam but instead of running the game through Proton, it will download and run it with native engines and source ports. So if you enable it with classic Doom it will pop up with a dialog asking which port to play with (GZDoom, doomsday etc) and it will count towards your Steam play time, enable the Steam overlay etc. Keeps the engine up to date and works with lots of other games with open source ports too.

Haven't played DayZ in quite some time but this tool made the trick

I'm the author of the dayz CLI launcher, in case you're talking about https://github.com/bastimeyer/dayz-linux-cli-launcher

I was able to run DayZ quite some time ago on Linux without Steam Beta. I don't know where you saw that you needed Steam Beta but that's definitely not the case ahah. I'm afraid I cannot help you with your Steam Beta issue, but as for DayZ I used this tool to join modded servers. If you don't like CLI tools there is also this one which uses a GUI but I have never tested it.

There are a few launcher alternatives that performs the mod configurations (like this or this for example), I tried the DTZUI, a little bit of work because you need to mark each Mod to download individually on Steam Community (DTZUI gives you the list of mods needed by the server and the link to download each one).

5 - Using the dayz linux cli launcher: https://github.com/bastimeyer/dayz-linux-cli-launcher Usually you have to execute it several times untill it enters a server, and some server do not work, i do not why, but it's only a small percentage.

If you plan to play on modded servers, you should try this launcher or this one, they're both great
