@github-actions github-actions released this 23 Oct 11:32
  • Experimental: games installed through Lutris' Wine runner are recognised.
    Point Vortex at the game folder and it deploys into the game's Lutris prefix,
    starts the game through Lutris and runs modding tools with the game's Wine
    build. GOG and Epic games from Lutris' services are also found when a game
    extension looks them up by store ID.
  • Experimental: games installed in a Bottles bottle are recognised the same
    way. A game folder inside a bottle, or one holding a program added to a
    bottle, uses that bottle as its prefix, starts through bottles-cli and runs
    tools with the bottle's runner.
  • The 2.6.2 recipe carries the Linux fixes from 2.8.2-3 through 2.9.0-3:
    extension config paths, deployment preflight and target logging, extensions
    behind a symlinked home, differently cased game paths, backslash archive
    paths, nxm:// links from the AppImage, mixed-case deployment folders and the
    default Wine prefix. The 1.16.9 recipe gets the last three. (#16, #20, #22)
  • Building the package, also with the 1.16.9 and 2.6.2 recipes, no longer
    downloads QuickBMS from altervista.org: the server refuses the download and
    on some networks the request hung until the build was interrupted. The
    "Build a selected Vortex version" workflow works again on a fork; Git refused
    to read the checkout inside the build container. (#24)

Build

Built after the compatibility suite passed.

Arch Linux

sha256sum --check vortex-linux-2.9.0-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst.sha256
sudo pacman -U ./vortex-linux-2.9.0-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

Other x86_64 Linux distributions

Install Wine with your distribution's package manager, then:

sha256sum --check Vortex-2.9.0-x86_64.AppImage.sha256
chmod +x Vortex-2.9.0-x86_64.AppImage
./Vortex-2.9.0-x86_64.AppImage

The AppImage embeds update information, so Gear Lever, AppImageLauncher
and appimageupdatetool can update it in place from this repository's
latest release using Vortex-2.9.0-x86_64.AppImage.zsync.
