Steam is a gaming platform, its games can only be played 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.Although it is also applicable to CentOS and to virtually all distributions in the Fedora family, such as Mageia.
Valve, the company behind Steam, has made use of Wine to create its own version adding its own libraries and thus giving rise to Proton. Which we will see in the Steam app under the name Steam Play. Thanks to Steam Play thousands of games for Windows can now be used on 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 8: Xtreme Legends Complete Edition.
Now that we know…just to say: Welcome to FedGamer.net! the site dedicated to gaming on Fedora. Lets begin the journey!
How to install DYNASTY WARRIORS 8: Xtreme Legends Complete Edition from Steam on Linux
Step 1: Launch the Steam application on your machine and log in with your user: 
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 see 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 there 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.
Finally click the OK button. Attached here is another screenshot:
Note: Dont use 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, it usually loads the Proton packages, but if it doesn’t happen now, it will in the next step.
Step 5: Go back to the Steam Library, or Library, and there you’ll see 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 is blue because it’s available for our Linux OS, 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 steps Steam gives you. 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 8: Xtreme Legends Complete Edition compatible with Linux Fedora
In principle yes, thanks to Proton but I must add that it is not always perfect the adaptation of a video game originally for Windows to Linux. While it is true that in most cases it will run perfectly there are sometimes exceptions. Sadly, you cannot know beforehand if an error will occur, in my case I never had this issue, but it could happen.
To know for sure beforehand, there is a way: resort to the community, namely: what other players have commented. The community has organized on a site where they share their experience with each game mentioning their OS, hardware components, 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:
From Silver to Platinum indicates an excellent compatibility level. 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 8: Xtreme Legends Complete Edition on Linux here:
