Kenshi

Hellow



i been working for quite some time on reasonable way to run my mods on Steamdesk/linux
Most reasonable solution i found: Thru Wine: https://www.winehq.org/
Some people Recommend the Bottles: https://flathub.org/apps/com.usebottles.bottles
  • it is obvious, but important to mention that Wine is not my application so i can't promise it will always work
This allow you to run windows App thru linux and it will work on my funky installers just aswell :)

This will work on MeshUpdater, but PSO require manual version and PerformanceFix will break
use Water optimizer instead...

Thanks to Discord user Satellite for help and tests for the wine workaround
Have fun playing the game :)

    To run any of SCARaw's batch jobs on linux (and any unfortunately-windows program for kenshi, really), if you're using steam (aka proton) to run the game, you can just copy/paste this:
    WINEPREFIX=~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/233860/pfx wine /path/to/Whatever_Job.bat
    (if you use a non-standard path for Steam, you'll obviously need to change where that first part points to to whatever you changed it to)

    This will use the "windows environment" you're already using for Kenshi to run the program. I've done this for MeshUpdater, PSO, PerformanceFix, and stuff like RE_Kenshi. All works fine


    And just to note it cuz a lot of pages redirect here, for some of these they'll give you dlls to place next to your Kenshi.exe. To make sure wine loads those, you need to something like this to your launch options in steam:
    WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dxgi,d3d11=n,b" %command%
    (this example is for the vulkan mod, but add into those quotes whatever other stuff some particular mod tells you too)
