HTPC Bazzite — Windows Game Proton Compatibility

Bazzite HTPC at bazzite@192.168.1.86. 39 non-Steam Windows games added as Steam shortcuts (2026-05-22). Default tool: Proton Experimental; older titles on Proton 8.0.

Working Games

Fallout 4, Vladik Brutal, Red Alert 3, GTA V, Cuphead. Samurai Gunn works but gamepad is not detected.

Common Fix Recipes

"Doesn't start" → try vcrun2019

For UE3/UE4 and modern Windows titles missing Visual C++ runtime:

protontricks <AppID> vcrun2019 d3dcompiler_47

XNA 4.0 games (Duck Game, etc.)

protontricks <AppID> xna40

DOS-era games (e.g. Atomic Bomberman)

Proton won't work. Use Steam Tinker Launch → wrap with DOSBox (dosbox-staging).

Non-Steam copy of a Steam game (e.g. Metro Exodus)

Game needs steam_api64.dll emulator:

  1. Drop in Goldberg steam_api64.dll
  2. Add steam_appid.txt with the real App ID (e.g. 412020 for Metro Exodus Enhanced)

Cyrillic encoding issues (e.g. Discworld Noir)

Try in order:

  1. LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8 %command% in Steam launch options
  2. WINEDLLOVERRIDES="gdiplus=n,b"
  3. Install ttf-mscorefonts manually + set Cyrillic codepage in Wine registry

White screen / broken D3D9 (Rayman Origins, Split Second)

PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%

Or try WINEDLLOVERRIDES="d3d9=b" or an older Proton version.

Doom 3 BFG Edition (App 208200) — чёрные текстуры, краш после интро

Proton Experimental и 7+/8+/9+ ломают текстуры — известный регресс.

Быстрый фикс — откатить Proton версию: ПКМ → Свойства → Совместимость → Proton 5.13 (самый стабильный)

AMD GPU — launch option:

MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=4.5COMPAT %command%

Лучший долгосрочный фикс — заменить движок через Luxtorpeda:

  1. Установить Luxtorpeda (Steam compatibility tool)
  2. Свойства → Совместимость → Luxtorpeda
  3. При запуске выбрать rbdoom-3-bfg

Или flatpak без Proton:

flatpak install flathub io.github.maddecoder.Classic-RBDOOM-3-BFG

Указать путь к данным: ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/DOOM 3 BFG Edition/

Key Infra Notes

  • shortcuts.vdf: binary VDF at ~/.steam/steam/userdata/147839491/config/shortcuts.vdf Edit with Steam closed: systemctl --user stop gamescope-session-plus@steam.service
  • CompatToolMapping: ~/.steam/steam/config/config.vdf — per-AppID Proton override
  • Wine prefix: ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/<AppID>/pfx/
  • protontricks: Flatpak, needs xvfb + flatpak filesystem permission to ~/.local/share/Steam
  • Background protontricks (survives SSH disconnect): systemd-run --user --unit=<name> flatpak run ...

Castle Crashers 3048471472 Mini-dump crash vcrun2019 dotnet48

Gamepad Issues

  • Samurai Gunn, Super Bomberman R2: not detected → try Steam Input "Force Off" → "Use Default" cycle → or SDL_GAMECONTROLLER_ALLOW_STEAM_VIRTUAL_GAMEPAD=1
  • Metal Slug X: wrong speed in Neo-Geo wrapper → check emulator settings

How to Add a New Game

Шаг 0: Остановить Steam

systemctl --user stop gamescope-session-plus@steam.service

Portable (нет установщика) — скопируй папку на HTPC, переходи к шагу 1.

С установщиком — сначала добавь setup.exe как шорткат, запусти → после установки замени путь на основной .exe.

Шаг 1: Добавить шорткат Steam → Игры → Добавить не-Steam игру → выбери .exe

Шаг 2: Назначить Proton ПКМ на игре → Свойства → Совместимость → Proton Experimental

Шаг 3: Запустить один раз Wine prefix создастся в: ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/<AppID>/pfx/

SteamGridDB

API key хранится в ~/Documents/steamgriddb_api_key.txt на HTPC. Текущий ключ: 5f0a7cb3366dede2c10860a95795ce60 (обновлён: 2026-05-23, regenerated).

Скрипты постеров: ~/scripts/update-artwork.sh (или аналог). Запускать после добавления новых шорткатов.
