protontricks VS xow

Just played games on Linux for the first time. It's way easier than I originally thought since Proton is integrated into Steam client. Can even run non-Steam games through Steam client but had to use protontricks to add dependencies like Visual C++ redistributables.

We'll be needing Protontricks to install those packages into our Proton session of our game (each steam game has their own one). You can install it here https://github.com/Matoking/protontricks.

Try to run the mod manager in the game prefix by using protontricks.

ALSO if a mod has some kind of external dependency, like if it specifically mentions needing VisualC or .NET Runtime, Protontricks will be a lifesaver for installing these into Proton prefixes. Might not need it often, but could come in handy to know anyways.

I'm learning a bit more about Proton. You can install Protontricks and then run protontricks 824270 and it should install stuff for you.

You can try protontricks with protontricks 1730590 winhttp (1730590 is The Entropy Centre's Steam App ID, that I just looked up on protondb)

That might be a problem, you could try to install native d3dx9 and xact to the game's wine prefix using winetricks or protontricks. I'd try d3dx9 on it's own first.

But I suspect that you'd find it much easier and more convenient to just use protontricks for this.

install it in the game's proton instance with protontricks

Have you tried medusalix/xow?

It needs a driver, looks like there is one here: https://github.com/medusalix/xow

Been using Xbox One Elite controllers (both gen 1 and 2) for a couple years now without issue and I even use the proprietary Xbox wireless USB dongle. If you use this "xone" driver then it just works as it does in Windows. It's an evolution of the older "xow" driver where you'd just have to run a command to invoke the pairing process, if anyone was familiar with that driver.

You need an Xbox wireless dongle, disabling read-only mode and install xow driver. https://github.com/medusalix/xow

I am trying to add a Linux driver called XOW ( xow/README.md at master · medusalix/xow (github.com) ) to my steamdeck using Konsole. This driver allows the usb connection of the Microsoft controller dongle. I know I can use standard bluetooth but the dongle has lower latency, and well I guess I like a project. But I'm stuck.

Have you tried xow or xone? xow made the official XBone wireless dongle plug-n-play for me. I've been using it since 2018 or so.
