Introduction
|
|
---
|
|
Proton is a tool for use with the Steam client which allows games which are
|
|
exclusive to Windows to run on Linux and macOS operating systems. It uses Wine
|
|
to facilitate this.
|
|
|
|
Most users will prefer to use Proton provided by the Steam client itself. The
|
|
source code is provided to enable advanced users the ability to alter
|
|
Proton. For example, some users may wish to use a different version of Wine with
|
|
a particular title.
|
|
|
|
**NOTE:** If you are not comfortable in a command line terminal, or if you find
|
|
any of the information presented in here strange and uncomfortable, then
|
|
this is probably not for you. The instructions are likely to be incomplete
|
|
and require some knowledge and skill on your part, and there is no warranty
|
|
or guarantee that anyone will help you with this process.
|
|
|
|
We strongly recommend that most users use the production build of Proton.
|

|
Obtaining Proton
|
|
---
|
|
The most current source for Proton is here:
|
|
<https://TODO>
|
|
|
|
Which you can clone to your system with this command:
|
|
|
|
git clone TODO
|
|
|
|
If you clone the Proton git repository, the next step will be to
|
|
obtain the various submodules that go into building Proton:
|
|
|
|
cd proton
|
|
git submodule init
|
|
git submodule update
|
|
|
|
If you wish to change any subcomponent, now is the time to do so.
|
|
For example, if you wish to use an alternate version of Wine, you would
|
|
now put that version in place in the wine/ directory in place of the
|
|
version that Proton is currently using.
|
|
|

|
Building for Linux
|
|
---
|
|
To build Proton for Linux, set up a Debian machine with the Steam chroots as
|
|
documented in the Steam Runtime repository:
|
|
|
|
<https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-runtime>
|
|
|
|
In addition, you will need to install gcc-5 and a long list of dependencies
|
|
required for Wine.
|
|
|
|
The following set of commands is an example session, and may not be
|
|
complete. It is important to examine the output near the end of
|
|
build/wine.win{64,32}/config.log to ensure that you have all of the
|
|
relevant libraries in each chroot. Search for 'executing Makefile commands'
|
|
in config.log. It is normal to be missing a few libraries, including
|
|
OpenCL, OSS, and XAudio2.
|
|
|
|
cd
|
|
git clone https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-runtime.git
|
|
cd steam-runtime
|
|
./setup_chroot.sh --beta --i386
|
|
schroot --chroot steamrt_scout_beta_i386
|
|
|
|
This will enter the chroot environment, where you would issue the following commands:
|
|
|
|
sudo apt-get install gcc-5 g++-5 g++-5-multilib flex bison libosmesa6-dev libpcap-dev libhal-dev libsane-dev libv4l-dev libgphoto2-2-dev libcapi20-dev libgsm1-dev libmpg123-dev libvulkan-dev libxslt1-dev
|
|
sudo update-alternatives --install `which gcc` gcc `which gcc-5` 50
|
|
sudo update-alternatives --set gcc `which gcc-5`
|
|
sudo update-alternatives --install `which g++` g++ `which g++-5` 50
|
|
sudo update-alternatives --set g++ `which g++-5`
|
|
sudo update-alternatives --install `which cpp` cpp-bin `which cpp-5` 50
|
|
sudo update-alternatives --set cpp-bin `which cpp-5`
|
|
exit
|
|
|
|
Next, you need to repeat the process, but for amd64:
|
|
|
|
./setup_chroot.sh --beta --amd64
|
|
schroot --chroot steamrt_scout_beta_amd64
|
|
|
|
And then repeat all of the commands to install gcc and Wine depenedencies again.
|
|
|
|
Finally, change your directory back to proton, and run:
|
|
|
|
cd ../proton
|
|
./build_proton.sh
|
|
|
|
That should configure and build a variety of sub modules, including Wine, and
|
|
then package the result up into dist/.
|
|
|
|
**NOTE:** For now, dxvk requires build-time components that are too new for Debian
|
|
9. It's recommended to build the DLLs on Arch Linux, where dxvk is actively
|
|
being developed. This may be resolved in dxvk in the future, or may be worked
|
|
around by using a newer Debian release. See comments in build_proton.sh.
|
|
|

|
|
Building for macOS
|
|
---
|
|
To build Proton for macOS, install the latest Xcode command line tools, as
|
|
well as cmake (for openal-soft) and a recent nasm (for libjpeg-turbo). You can
|
|
use a packager like Homebrew to find these packages. Then run:
|
|
|
|
./build_proton.sh
|
|
|
|
TODO - Surely there are other dependencies we have not listed there.
|
|
|
|
It is important to examine the output near the end of
|
|
build/wine.win{64,32}/config.log to ensure that you have all of the
|
|
relevant libraries required to build Wine properly.
|
|
|
|

|
|
Deploying
|
|
---
|
|
Once built, the dist/ directory will contain the files which can be distributed
|
|
through Steam. For testing purposes, you should be able to clear out the files
|
|
in your steamapps/common/Proton directory and replace them with the contents of
|
|
dist/. The proton script will unpack the files on first run. Note that if you
|
|
use the Steam client to verify local files, it will restore the production version
|
|
of Proton.
|
|
|
|

|
|
See the LICENSE files here, as well as the LICENSE, COPYING, etc files in each
|
|
submodule and directory for details.

Runtime Config Options
|
|
----
|
|
Proton can be tuned at runtime to help certain games run. Options can either
|
|
be defined in a comma-separated list stored in the STEAM_COMPAT_CONFIG
|
|
environment variable when running Proton (the Steam client does this),
|
|
or passed through the presence of individual environment variables as documented below.
|
|
|
|
All of the below are runtime options. They do not effect permanent changes to
|
|
the Wine prefix. Removing the option will revert to the previous behavior.
|
|
|
|
| Compat config string | Environment Variable | Description |
|
|
| :-------------------- | :-------------------- | :----------- |
|
|
| dxvk | PROTON_USE_DXVK | Run the game with DXVK instead of wined3d. |
|
|
| nod3d11 | PROTON_NO_D3D11 | Disable d3d11.dll, for games which can fall
|
|
back to and run better with d3d9. |
