Linux (Proton) compatibility steps

gerbal commented 1 month ago

Skyve takes a bit of fiddling to get running in a CSII Proton installation. Here are the steps I took on Manjaro

Requirements:

Cities Skylines II installed via Steam & Proton (I use GE-Proton9-4 installed using ProtonUp)
Install Skyve from Paradox mods in-game and click the "Install Skyve" button in the main menu
Install protontricks

Instructions

Via the terminal

# CSII steam id is 949230
STEAM_ID=949230

# install dependencies
protontricks $STEAM_ID dotnet472 

# Run Skyve with protontricks-launcher. 
# steam installation and skyve installation directory may vary. The default is 
#  `~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/949230/pfx/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Skyve CS-II` 

STEAM_DIR="$HOME/.local/share/Steam"
SKYVE_PATH="steamapps/compatdata/$STEAM_ID/pfx/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Skyve CS-II/Skyve.exe"

protontricks-launch --appid $STEAM_ID  "$STEAM_DIR/$SKYVE_PATH"

Via the protontricks GUI

Install Wine dependency
- Launch Protontricks
- select "Cities Skylines II" from the list of Wine prefixes
- click "ok" on any error messages
- "Select the default wineprefix"
- "Install a Windoes DLL or component"
- Install "dotnet472"
Run Skyve
- navigate your file browser to the Skyve directory in the Steam compatdata, usually at $STEAM_DIR/steamapps/compatdata/949230/pfx/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Skyve CS-II/
- right click Skyve.ex, Open with, select "Protontricks launcher" from the app list
- select Cities Skylines II form the list of Wine prefixes
- :tada:

Did not work for me, but I leave some information anyways if you might encounter the same issues. My system is Kubuntu 24.04 Steam was installed in $HOME/.steam/steam I have tried proton experimental, and the latest proton version which is 9.0.1 for me. I installed protontricks with flatpak, pipx and also the ubuntu deb package, but it is outdated. The errors I am getting are often something along the line of 32bit should be more compatible but I ignored them. I also saw in the terminal that some packages are missing but it continued so I ignored them. They also come up when I launch the setup manually: Dependencies of libnvidia-pkcs11.so.535.161.08 not found ignoring: Missing dependencies: Could not find "libcrypto.so.1.1" in LD_LIBRARY_PATH (unset), ld.so.cache, DT_RUNPATH or fallback /lib:/usr/lib)

When I install the dot net version for some reason it fails most of them and even if it goes through I can not hit install Skyve because it says dot net v4 is missing.

I tried also both the Terminal and the gui walkthrough. I also tried different versions of the dot net, but it did not work.

I also tried to launch the skyve setup.exe from the /pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/LocalLow/Colossal Order/Cities Skylines II/.cache/Mods/mods_subscribed/75804_14/ dir but it gave me the same error that I need to install the dot net frame work. Btw. I have tried multiple times with different orders and versions. It either does not work because of missing dependencies or it does nothing.

What I mean by orders is, if I try to click install skvye in the game just plain without any protontricks installations then it will do nothing and show me no response.

When I install dot net via protontricks and then try to instal skyve ingame, it will throw the missing deps dotnet error

Proton 8.0.4 allowed me to click install Skyve and this did work, but the installation of dot net 4 failed again. I have gotten the error that windows module installer is not aviable on this machine during the dot net 4.5 installation. I will look into that.

I also got this error some times, do not see why that is: com.github.Matoking.protontricks/cache/protontricks/proton/Proton 8.0/bin/wine dotnetfx45_full_x86_x64.exe /q /c:install.exe /q returned status 67. Aborting

Edit2: Ok now I am not quite sure what is going on. I have installed skyve and this worked. Then I tried to run skyve exe, this had not worked. Then I installed dot net via protontricks, that did not worked iirc. Then I opened the game and clicked install Skyve, now I get the error that dot net v4 is missing. But it worked to click install skyve before, so I do not get it.

If you want to get help you should probably have a look into the devs discord and not here. https://discord.gg/t-d-w-s-village-904287711962222632

Sorry this wasn't able to help you. I was using GE-Proton 9, so that may be part of it. Also I'm using non-appimage installations of everything.
