Linux install script (Lutris)
-
@sereiya i've posted a link to edit script, since new drafts wont appear before lutris team moderation, take a look into it
You're getting the files via wget instead of using Lutris' in-built file download function. Works, but isn't beautiful since you skip the option to insert the files yourself
can be done for JRE, but i guess only the latest version of FAF should be aviable, especially after 1.4.4
Having the user manually looking for the run file is unnecessary, it will always spawn in /tmp/proton-$USER/
sounds reasonable, used this one just to show instruction dialog
may just use input_menuThe user isn't told to set a specific Proton version. This can cause later problems like desyncs, as described here.
Didn't checked, but haven't latest proton already got rid if most of FA errors?
https://www.winehq.org/announce/6.7
That one fixed the last bug for FA, may not be an issue for future versions of proton.You don't tell the user that SteamPlay has to be activated for every title in order to even install Forged Alliance. In my opinion missing information like this is extremely frustrating for new users.
Agree
Your client.prefs file will be rejected by the FAF client since the lobby isn't written to simply add missing entries, but expect them to be already present. That's the reason I uploaded a prepared one for my script which I edit using sed, so the client accepts the file.
Works 4 me
Will look into itYou do not set the preferences file location, therefore FAF lobby will look for it in ~/.wine/ and create a new one there, ignoring your FA settings as well as forgetting all settings every time a user might deletes his standard wine prefix.
Uuugh, but it doesnt even uses standart wine
Not a necessity, but I find the option to have all files in your defined game folder quite important for large games so your /home won't get cluttered. In the end FAF will save literally everything in ~/.faforever/
Agree, can it be done just with a symlink?
UPD: ok, zero brain moment, just realized only i have access to edit page
-
@ovo I've looked into it, but every iteration of the draft shows the same bugged version. I encounteres some similar behaviour when I worked with the page which is why I almost never saved it before commiting and mostly worked offline. I assume the website is bugged.
Since I uploaded the .yaml code in my first post (clearer syntax than on lutris . net, looks way less "hacky"), why won't you just take the code that's already working but seem a little hacky to you and just edit it? Not lying, it feels weird to see someone completely working around me and encountering some problems I already solved within a few hours of testing. Stuff like the optional ~/.faforever/ symlink is already included too, and as I said I'm not even sure the problem on Arch wasn't due to a faulty configuration on my side.
-
Updated to Lobby version 1.4.6 due to the serverload issue. Filename still says 1.4.4-RC1 simply because the Lutris mods still didn't review the installer, therefore link changes aren't applied. Next revision of the install script will have some fancy code to update the lobby automatically through Lutris.

It worked, Thank you!
Before I stated I installed the open source AMDGPU driver for my RX 570 with pretty much everything from the "Install" section: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AMDGPU
I am on Manjaro, the only problem I encountered was that the game crashes on launch, saying βCD3DDeviceResources::DevResInitResources: Unable to load effect file /effects/cartographic.fxβI followed this guys guide: https://www.protondb.com/users/1007765403
But skipped the resolution changes. Maybe that was why the first start of the steam version took quite long, the cut scenes were laggy but skippable.Install winetricks:
ubuntu: sudo apt install winetricks
manjaro: sudo pacman -S winetricksInstall protontricks using this guide from simpler: https://www.simpler.website/html/2021/1/protontricks.html
Copy from simpler:
Arch based Linux distros:
Open the terminal, then copy and paste these commands:
sudo pacman -S python-pip python-pipx python-setuptools python-virtualenv
python3 -m pip install --user pipx
python3 -m pipx ensurepathClose and reopen the terminal again.
Install protontricks using this command:pipx install protontricks
in a terminal, write: protontricks 9420 dlls d3dx9 in a terminal, write: protontricks 9420 dlls xact
(if you, at a later stage, change proton version in steam, you have to reinstall the above two libraries since they donβt seem to come with proton.)
Now start the game. It took quite some time for me. Create a game profile ingame and exit.
edit your Game.prefs on ubuntu itβs located in:~/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/compatdata/9420/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Local Settings/Application Data/Gas Powered Games/Supreme Commander Forged Alliance/ change primary_adapter = β1024,758,60β, to whatever your native screen resolution is, mine is: primary_adapter = β2560,1440,60β, and save.
Edit launch options again (see step above) and remove β/windowed 1024 758β leaving just PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1, PROTON_DUMP_DEBUG_COMMANDS=1 %command%. All that is left now is to install faforever client (for multiplayer), check the wiki: https://wiki.faforever.com/index.php?title=Setting_Up_FAF_Linux#Java_Downlord.27s_Client

Any help with this? Installed with OPs scripts, FA works fine through Steam, the client crashes when logging in though. This is on Arch.

Update:
I fixed it, what I did was change config in lutris to windows and back to linux to reset to defaults, changed the executable like it used to be, added INSTALL4J_JAVA_HOME=.. and PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1, changed in Game.prefs my primary adapter to 2560,1440,120 and it works now in fullscreen borderless window. -
I get a FAF splash screen for a second and then it closes. Pls fix?
And im on Manjaro KDE, if that makes any sense.Edit: I guess i have the same bug as Arch and Manjaro xfce, manually launching with the command works.
Also why is FAF client written in Java? -
FAF client was written in Java as that is what a contributor wanted to write it in and that who we have to support it contributor come and go.
-
I'm sorry, I was gone from the community for a while due to health issues. I'll look into the provided logs asap.
-
@sereiya Thanks for your hard work mate!
-
@sereiya Thanks very much for the script I am not sure if I would have made it without it, also on Manjaro Xfce
INSTALL4J_JAVA_HOME=/path/to/game/folder/openjdk15/ ./faf-client
worked for me and I now see the launcher but I have
twoone problems:-
this is a smaller one, can I somehow specify the INSTALL4J_JAVA_HOME=/path/to/game/folder/openjdk15 somewhere so that I can start the game through Lutris.
-
This seems to be java related but it prevents me from logging in, java cant resolve lobby.faforever.comjava.net.UnknownHostException: Failed to resolve 'lobby.faforever.com'
(just while I am writing this it seems to be fixed by specifying the IP in my hosts file)
So just 1., how can I make it so that I can run the mod through Lutris without the need to run
INSTALL4J_JAVA_HOME=/path/to/game/folder/openjdk15/ ./faf-client
every time I want to start the launcher? -
-
Sry if this is the wrong place for bug support but after I finally got the launcher working I thought the game would run as well, turns out it doesn't.
When I am starting(or joining) a custom game the game starts but seems to load in the "Connecting" screen infinity and it seems that there are no errors in the console:

Maybe someone has an idea what I could try to get the game starting or the be able to join a game.
