Elite Dangerous on Linux

gistfile1.txt

These instructions are for Fedora 33.
_____________________________________________________

Now we install winetricks as root user:

dnf install pipx python3-libs python3-pip python3-setuptools winetricks
_____________________________________________________

Now we install protontricks as non-root user:

python3 -m pip install --user protontricks

Now we can use it to fix games;
All that follows is done as non-root user.
_____________________________________________________

Now we download wine-mono:

Download the following file:
  https://github.com/redmcg/wine-mono/releases/download/wine-mono-5.1.1.2_ED/wine-mono-5.1.1.2_ED-x86.msi

Move it into:
  ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Elite Dangerous/

Browse to:
  ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/359320/pfx/
and delete any content;
_____________________________________________________

Now we configure elite:

On steam:

Elite dangerous
> Manage
> Properties
> Force the use of a specific ...
    (select "Proton 5.0-10")
> Play
> (Wait for it to fail, and close the message, if any.)
  (This will create files in the directory that we just emptied.)
_____________________________________________________

Now we install wine-mono:

On the command line (AKA terminal, konsole, prompt):

protontricks -c 'wine64 uninstaller' 359320
> (click: "wine mono windows support")
> remove
> (if there are more than one, then repeat for all of them)
> install
> wine-mono-5.1.1.2_ED-x86.msi
> ok
	
(The newly installed one will not be listed, unless we rerun the command, but that's OK.)
_____________________________________________________

Now we run elite dangerous:

Steam
> Library
> Elite dangerous
> Play
> (If it offers to "link account", then give permission.)
_____________________________________________________

Finished.
