Some very popular Linux distros:
 Ubuntu |
 Debian |
 Fedora |
 Linux Mint |
 Arch Linux |
 OpenSUSE |
 Manjaro |
Steam is a gaming platform, its games can only be used by installing the official Steam client. So the first thing is to have it installed If you dont have it installed yet In this article I explain how to install Steam on Fedora.But it is also applicable to CentOS and to almost any distro in the Fedora family, such as Mageia.
Valve, Steams parent company, has used Wine to develop its own version combining it with its own tools and thus giving rise to Proton. Which we will see in the Steam app under the name Steam Play. Thanks to this thousands of games that are Windows-only become available for Linux both on Fedora and CentOS, Mageia, Ubuntu, Debian, Linux Mint, Arch, Manjaro, etc. And one of those games you can now play on Linux is DYNASTY WARRIORS 9.
That clarified…all thats left to say: Welcome to FedGamer.net! a site dedicated to Linux gaming whether its Fedora, Debian, or your favorite distro! Lets go with the tutorial!
How to install DYNASTY WARRIORS 9 from Steam on Linux
Step 1: Open Steam on your PC and log in to your account: 
Step 2: Click on the Steam tab you’ll see at the top left once you’re logged in. When you click it, a list of options will drop down click on Settings or Preferences.
Step 3: When you click on Settings, a window with several options will open on the left the last is Steam Play. Click it and you will see the following:
As you can observe the first checkbox that says Enable Steam Play for supported titles is enabled if it isn’t, enable it. And at the bottom where it indicates Proton Experimental click it and select the latest version, youll see the first number determines the version and as you can see in this screenshot, were at 7. Finally, check (if it isnt) the checkbox that says: Enable Steam Play for other titles.
Hit OK to confirm. Here is another screenshot:
Note: Do not select the experimental version, because although it’s the newest, being experimental it can contain bugs and its best not to use it except if a game doesn’t work as a last resort.
Step 4: Once Proton is enabled, the Steam app may restart automatically. If it doesn’t happen, close it and open it again. When it restarts, Proton packages usually download, and if it doesn’t then, it will in the next step.
Step 5: Go back to the Steam Library, or Library, and there you’ll find your games. Now Windows games should look like this:
In place of this:
In case you didn’t notice the subtle difference now the Install button appears active because it’s available for our Linux distro, in this case Fedora.
Step 6: Press Install. If the packages didn’t download before, it may start downloading Proton now, so be patient. After that, the game will download and install if it doesn’t, click Install again.
At this point we’re almost done, you just need to follow the installation instructions you see in Steam. When the window you see here appears, if we choose Create Desktop Shortcut it will create a shortcut, like Firefox or LibreOffice. And if we don’t check that option, we’ll have to open Steam each time we want to start the game (which I find tidier, but it’s a matter of preference).
Step 7: Play!
Is the game DYNASTY WARRIORS 9 compatible with Linux
One could say yes, using Proton but I must say that it is not always perfect the conversion of a game originally for Windows to Linux. So although in almost all cases it runs without issues there are sometimes exceptions. Sadly, you cannot know in advance if it will cause an error or not, in my case I never had this issue, but it could happen.
To make sure before installing, there is a way: consult the community’s experience, that is, other users experience. The community has set up a site where they share their experience with each game indicating the distro, the hardware, etc. At a glance you can see if someone with your distro, be it Fedora, Ubuntu or any other, had a good or bad experience.
The page Im referring to is ProtonDB and to quickly check if a Windows Steam game works on Linux, the best thing is to look at the rating:
- Native: It’s a native Linux game, created specifically for it.
- Platinum: Works perfectly on Linux.
- Gold: Works very well, with maybe a minor fix easily solvable.
- Silver: Works with a minor issue that doesn’t impair gameplay.
- Bronze: Works, but sometimes stops or has major errors.
- Borked: Doesn’t work: won’t start or crashes too much.
Here’s a screenshot as an example. As you can see, for Resident Evil the category is Platinum:
Logically, from Silver up means the game will run quite well or even perfectly. Another thing we can do is look at comments from users with the same distro as ours. In any case, you can check the compatibility of DYNASTY WARRIORS 9 on Linux here:
