Marvin1099 edited this page Jul 6, 2024 · 4 revisions

Keep in mind that using the flatpak is not recommended,
use the regular steam version instead

This update adds support to use the steam flatpak,
but there are a few steps you have to follow to make it work.

Follow these steps to make it work:

  1. Follow the Quick Guide to step 6
  2. Install Flatseal to change the settings of the steam flatpak.
  3. Install flatpak-xdg-utils so the wemod-laucher can start itself outside of the flatpak
  4. Now change the following settings inside Flatseal on the steam flatpak:
    • Add the path /home/$USER/wemod-launcher to Filesystem: Other files
      Replace $USER with your username
    • Enable Socket: D-Bus session bus
    • Enable Socket: D-Bus system bus
  5. Open a Terminal / Console and run:
    sudo chmod -R ug+rw /home/$USER/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata
    Note: Replace $USER with your username
  6. Restart Steam
  7. Continue to Follow the Quick Guide from step 7
