Linux Port? #9

Open frankchau93 opened 3 weeks ago

Hi, was wondering if its possible to convert this to use in Linux/Proton? Been wanting to try Conviction through my Steam Deck however, I haven't had any luck. All other solutions I've tried gives me disconnection issues. I know this uses pydivert so I'm wondering if there's a linux equivalent?

Hi, probably possible to implement this with netfilter and https://pypi.org/project/NetfilterQueue/, but does it really worth the effort, the game is already a PITA to make work for pc, and i assume very few people play this on steamdeck also i don't own a steamdeck to test with, don't know how it works.

alternative solution requiring you are hosting on the SteamDeck/Linux machine:

On steamdeck/Linux:

Drop the pydivert part in the python file, keeping only the http request handler.
Add 127.0.0.1 gconnect.ubi.com to /etc/hosts
run modifed python script (if python unavailable they are probably other solutions)
Host a game

The other connecting client must run the full python script, so cannot do linux to linux with this solution.
