Luxtorpeda

(Project Page: Luxtorpeda-dev or untested the main branch)

The global configs LUXTORPEDACMD and LUXTORPEDAARGS in the Global Config (f.e. via Global Menu) need to be set correctly initially. It should not be necessary to change the default LUXTORPEDAARGS.

Defaults are:

• LUXTORPEDACMD=$HOME/.local/share/Steam/compatibilitytools.d/luxtorpeda/luxtorpeda.sh
  • Older versions of Luxtorpeda used luxtorpeda without an extension, but this has since changed with v14.0.20241003-1 (#1179).
• LUXTORPEDAARGS=wait-before-run

which is at least valid if you installed luxtorpeda manually.

To start a game with Luxtorpeda, either set USELUXTORPEDA in the Game Config (f.e. via Game Menu) or put the game into the Steam Collection "Luxtorpeda" Alternatively, duplicate the file to a different name which you want to use as collection name, ideally into STLCOLLECTIONDIR (see Steam Collection). The luxtorpeda-dev team was kind enough to add a manual-download option in v20, so missing native game files are now downloaded before the actual game launch. Therefore it is recommended to use the latest luxtorpeda-dev version.

If USESLR (see Steam Linux Runtime) is enabled, tinkergame automatically uses the Runtime version of Luxtorpeda. With disabled USESLR the original (EOL) version is used.
