Quick Guide

Alert  This guide only includes the most relevant info and might not be enough to run WeMod,
        if so check out the Full Guide OR the video tutorial by Marvin1099
  1. First Python venv and TK need to be installed
    TK / Tkinter may have a other name in your repos
    Search the internet for install Tkinter for YOURDISTRO (eg. Ubuntu)
  2. Also Search for and install ProtonUp-QT in the store.
  3. Download the latest GE-Proton in ProtonUp-QT
    NOTE: After some testing it seams Proton also works
    So you can try to run the launcher with Proton and without GE-Proton
  4. Restart Steam/SteamOS
  5. Run git clone https://github.com/DaniAsh551/wemod-launcher.git in the Konsole/Terminal
  6. Run sudo chmod -R ug+x /home/$USER/wemod-launcher in the Konsole/Terminal
  7. In the WeMod chosen game, open the steam game settings
    and in the Compatibility tab change the proton version to the downloaded one.
  8. Also add the command /home/$USER/wemod-launcher/wemod %command%,
    in the steam game settings under Launch Options
  9. Start the game
  10. Select no to the copy prefix question if it says it might work
    If it says it likely works go to 12.
  11. Select download
  12. Select Yes/Ok until no more windows appear
    All rundll32.exe errors can safely be ignored (click on no here)
  13. WeMod will start with the game
  14. Login and click play in WeMod for chosen game
  15. Set Mods and Switch to game or close the WeMod window,
    it will keep running in the background

The wemod-launcher will automatically update if you installed it using step 5.
But: This will only work if you have launcher version 1.092 or older.
