In this video, I cover how to install and play Windows games purchased from other game services such as the EA App, Blizzard Battle.net, Ubisoft Connect and Epic Games on Linux. https://lutris.net/ To achieve this, we will be using Lutris, a universal platform that integrates with these game services, as well as game console emulators. Step 1. Install The Latest GPU Drivers. However, before installing Lutris, you will need to first install the latest supported GPU driver for your hardware. AMD Drivers. For example, if you have AMD hardware, assuming that you have kept your system up to date, then you will be already been running the latest drivers as they are typically preinstalled. However, do not install the drivers for Linux that are available on AMD site as they are designed for workstation use, not gaming. Nvidia Drivers. Alternatively, if you have a Nvidia graphics card, then you will need to install the official proprietary driver manually. Although most Linux distributions will either pre-install the driver as part of the overall Linux installation process, or offer a GUI tool to install the driver post-installation. Once again, do not install the drivers available on the Nvidia website, use your distribution's recommended method. https://github.com/lutris/docs/blob/master/InstallingDrivers.md Alternatively, if you wish to go the Terminal route, there is excellent documentation on the Lutris wiki that covers installation of both AMD and Nvidia hardware for a wide range of Linux distributions. Step 2. Install Lutris. https://flathub.org/apps/net.lutris.Lutris When it comes to installing Lutris, my recommendation would be to use the Flatpak version, which incidentally is the only supported method of installing Lutris on the Steam Deck. The main reasons for this installation method is that it will ensure that you have all the dependencies for the various game stores and are running the latest version, regardless of your Linux distribution. https://flathub.org/setup So, to install the Lutris Flatpak, first enable Flatpak support for your system using the relevant Linux distribution instructions, if not already enabled. Once done, install Lutris with your distribution's software store, typically, Gnome Software or KDE Discover, and then launch once ready. Step 3. Install A Game Store. So, to install a game store, click on the + symbol at the top left, and then the option "Search the Lutris website for installers." Next, search for the game store, for example, Ubisoft Connect, which should appear on the list, so select that option. From here, it is typically a matter following the installation process, specify an installation location, and then clicking Install to begin the process, which should be mostly automated. And, once the installation process has finished, close the window. Now when you navigate to the Library Games section, you should see the game store you have just installed, so either double click or select, and then press Play to launch. In most case, there will be pending update, and a request to sign in with your credentials, but once this is done, the game store should load up as expected. From here, install any games as normal, and then press Play to launch the game, and in most cases, unless it is not compatible with Linux, which is usually due to the anti-cheat, you should expect the game to load. As mentioned earlier, Lutris has direct integration with many game services so if you click under the Sources section, and sign into the service, you will see all the games that you can install. #wine #lutris #linuxgaming Social Media Links Discord - https://discord.gg/3SxGk3WG2D Reddit - https://www.reddit.com/r/IntelligentGaming2020/
