But other than that, great tutorial op, I’ve been waiting a long time for someone to make this work properly in linux and i’m happy to say that it works quite well.

#RESET ALL GARRY'S MOD VIDEO SETTINGS DRIVER#

I fixed it by reinstalling my Nvidia Driver using CTRL+ALT+F1 to get to the terminal, killed my Display manager (sudo service lightdm stop) then reinstalled the graphics driver manually. I’m not sure how many people will run into this issue, but I did and i found out that it was because i was Missing 32bit Compatibility Libs when i manually installed my Graphics drivers.

Anyway, just a side note, for anyone trying to do this like i have, if you have Proprietary Graphics Drivers (say Nvidia drivers) you have a chance of running into a playonlinux error that says “error in main” then all it says is “Steam”.

Sorry about the 2+ Month bump, but i’m on and off the forums every few months or so. Once Garry’s Mod downloads all of the Workshop content, go to your settings > Video > Advanced. To get all the GMT content, subscribe to this Workshop collection.Īnd now, the moment of truth.

It will run Steam in a virtual desktop (which makes it not try to screw over Linux’s WM) which can be manipulated if it’s a lower resolution than your monitor, since it’s really in a window.Īfter logging into Steam, download and install Garry’s Mod, Team Fortress 2, and Counter-Strike: Source. Now that you’re done with that, run the shortcut from the main POL window. This is just the installation I personally use. If performance is better without it, let me know. I know it says Experimental, but nearly every Wine tutorial I’ve seen uses Staging. Now, click on the “Staging” tab and check the top box. It should look something like this when done: It doesn’t matter if it’s lower, but just for simplicity’s sake. Make sure all four of the top boxes are checked and set the resolution to your default monitor resolution. In the “Windows Version” box, set it to Windows 7. Next, click on the Wine tab and click “Configure Wine”. Once it’s done downloading, set the Wine version for Steam to 1.7.51-staging.

I also use Staging for a feature that can increase graphics performance.

While you probably do have a 64 bit system, the x86 versions of Wine just work better. In this window, add the x86 version of 1.7.51-staging to the right pane. Once you have it installed, click the “Install” button at the top of the window and search for Steam. You may also need different commands, which are available on the POL website.

While this may be better supported by your specific distro, I’m using the newest version direct from the POL team, so some things may be different if you choose to use the Software Center. Sudo wget -O /etc/apt//playonlinux.listĬhances are there is an older version of POL in your distribution’s Software Center. If you use Linux Mint or the current LTS version of Ubuntu, you’ll want to open Terminal and put in these commands: wget -q '' -O- | sudo apt-key add. PlayOnLinux (POL) is a manager for Wine that can handle different Wine versions and uses community-made install scripts to install programs more easily. In order to do this, you will need PlayOnLinux. This is important, because GMT in the Linux port of Steam does not work at all. This has to be done through Wine, a compatibility layer that can execute Windows binaries on Linux. Blame Garry.įor those of you who run or prefer Linux, I’m proud to say I have found a way to make Garry’s Mod and Linux play nice. Running Garry’s Mod through Wine will NOT be a near-Windows experience.

It does not run good on any platform, including and especially Linux.
