modorganizer2-linux-installer VS HedgeModManager

Normally, the appmanifest read-only works fine, but on Linux (or at least for me on PopOS 22.04) I had a problem with that method. Everytime I launched steam, it edited that file even in read-only mode. Also I use modorganizer2-linux-installer, which launches MO2 through default skyrim proton prefix.

ModOrganizer 2 For Linux

I’m not running OBSE by itself. I’m running it alongside Mod Organizer 2. This script will setup MO2 for you and set it so that Steam launches it automatically when you press play. Then, you’ll need to follow this doc to install OBSE alongside MO2. Hopefully that would setup all of your pathing correctly.

Use this script. It should set everything up for you so that MO2 launches automatically when you start Oblivion through Steam.

Using this MO2 installer I've got pretty much everything working through Steam's Proton in Fedora for SSE 1.6.640.

Hey, so I'm trying to install Mod Organizer 2 for Skyrim: Special Edition, specifically using this https://github.com/rockerbacon/modorganizer2-linux-installer

Use STL to launch HedgeModManager by running ~/stl/prefix/steamtinkerlaunch hmm start

HedgeModManager: https://github.com/thesupersonic16/HedgeModManager/releases/

Quick update: No fix has worked for me unfortunately. I can get HMM booted and mods loaded but HMM will always crash when trying to boot Sonic Frontiers at the step 'Loading Codes'. I've documented my steps in the existing Github issue here: https://github.com/thesupersonic16/HedgeModManager/issues/219

At this point, trying to launch the game from Steam it would close. This is because the d3d11.dll file used by HMM is problematic and fails to complete when running in Proton. You'll need to manually delete it and replace it with this .dll file. (You'll have to rename it to d3d11.dll) You can read more about this current issue here if you're curious. Note: This means HMM will load MODS but not CODES. Here's hoping that compatibility will be fixed in the future.

Sonic GMI has been replaced by HedgeModManager which supports several sonic games and has code support which is pretty useful (I can't remember if sonic GMI does). Sonic GMI is much easier to make work on Linux while HedgeModManager is significantly more difficult. Here you can find instructions for hedgemodmanager on Linux. DO NOT FOLLOW THE TOP GUIDE, it apparently doesn't work as well and its for Sonic Forces. In the comments there is instructions and a script to run for Sonic Generations, make sure yo do everything it says. If you experienced issues which I have I can try to help you but as long as you follow the instructions I think it should be fine.
