Dungeon Defenders is a hybrid multiplayer video game developed by Trendy Entertainment. The game was released on Microsoft Windows, Xbox, iOS, Mac OS, Linux, etc. Here\u2019s how to play the game on Linux.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Dungeon Defenders is a native Linux game, but the native release of the game runs poorly. So instead, those looking to play Dungeon Defenders must use Proton.<\/p>\n

To make use of Proton for Dungeon Defenders, you need to install the Linux release of Steam. You can get the Steam app working on Linux via the official Linux release.<\/p>\n

Install Steam<\/h4>\n

Installing Steam on Linux requires the terminal. To open up a terminal, press Ctrl + Alt + T<\/strong> on the keyboard. Or, search for \u201cTerminal\u201d in the app menu and launch it that way.<\/p>\n

Ubuntu<\/h4>\n

Installing Steam on Ubuntu is very easy, as it is included in the official software sources. To get it working, enter the apt install<\/strong> command below.<\/p>\n

\nsudo apt install steam\n<\/pre>\n
Debian<\/h4>\n
If you\u2019d like to use Steam on Debian, you\u2019ll have to download the official DEB package from Valve. To download the package, use the following wget<\/strong> download command below.<\/p>\n
\nwget https:\/\/steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net\/client\/installer\/steam.deb\n<\/pre>\n
When the package file is downloaded to your computer, the installation can begin. Using the dpkg<\/strong> command down below, install the latest release of Steam.<\/p>\n
\nsudo dpkg -i steam.deb\n<\/pre>\n
After setting up the Steam DEB package on your computer, you\u2019ll need to correct any dependency errors that may have occurred during the installation.<\/p>\n
\nsudo apt-get install -f\n<\/pre>\n
Arch Linux<\/h4>\n
Steam is available on Arch Linux via the \u201cmultilib\u201d software repository. To get it working on your computer, you\u2019ll first need to enable the repo.<\/p>\n
To enable the \u201cmultilib\u201d software repository on your computer, open up the \/etc\/pacman.conf<\/code> file with your favorite text editor (as root). Once open, find \u201cmultilib\u201d and remove the # symbol from in front of it, as well as lines down below.<\/p>\n
After editing, save the edits and close the editor. Then, use the pacman -Syy<\/strong> command to re-sync Arch with the official software repos.<\/p>\n
\nsudo pacman -Syy\n<\/pre>\n
Finally, install the Steam app.<\/p>\n
\nsudo pacman -S steam\n<\/pre>\n
Fedora\/OpenSUSE<\/h4>\n
Steam works on both Fedora and OpenSUSE using software repositories included in the operating system. However, Steam works better with Flatpak on these OSes, so we suggest using the Flatpak release instead.<\/p>\n
Flatpak<\/h4>\n
To get Flatpak working on Linux, you\u2019ll install the Flatpak runtime and configure the Flathub app store. Getting the Flatpak runtime is relatively easy. To do it, please follow our guide on the subject.<\/p>\n
After setting up the runtime, you\u2019ll be able to get the Flathub app store working. Using the flatpak remote-add<\/strong> command below, configure Flathub.<\/p>\n
\nflatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https:\/\/flathub.org\/repo\/flathub.flatpakrepo\n<\/pre>\n
Finally, set up the Steam application using the flatpak install<\/strong> command below.<\/p>\n
\nflatpak install flathub com.valvesoftware.Steam\n<\/pre>\n
Install Dungeon Defenders on Linux<\/h3>\n
With Steam installed, open up the app on your computer and log in using your user credentials. Then, follow the step-by-step instructions below to get Dungeon Defenders working on Linux.<\/p>\n
Step 1:<\/strong> Find the \u201cSteam\u201d button in Steam and click on it with the mouse. Then, select the \u201cSettings\u201d button inside the menu to open up the Steam settings area.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Inside of the Steam menu, find the \u201cSteam\u201d play section and select it. Then, select both the \u201cEnable Steam Play for supported titles\u201d box and \u201cEnable Steam Play for all other titles.\u201d<\/p>\n
Step 2:<\/strong> After selecting the checkboxes, find the \u201cStore\u201d button inside Steam and load up the Steam store. Once inside the Steam store, locate the search box.<\/p>\n
After clicking on the search box, type in \u201cDungeon Defenders\u201d and press the Enter<\/strong> key on the keyboard. Then, look through the search results and locate \u201cDungeon Defenders.\u201d<\/p>\n
Step 3:<\/strong> Click on \u201cDungeon Defenders\u201d in the Steam search results. Then, find the \u201cadd to cart\u201d button to add the game to your Steam shopping cart. Then, purchase the game using the Steam app.<\/p>\n
Step 4:<\/strong> Once you\u2019ve purchased Dungeon Defenders, find the \u201cLibrary\u201d button inside Steam and click on it. Then, find \u201cDungeon Defenders\u201d in your list of games, and right-click on it.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
In the right-click menu, select \u201cProperties\u201d with the mouse to open up game properties. Then, click on. \u201cForce the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool.\u201d<\/p>\n
Select the latest release of Proton. Dungeon Defenders doesn\u2019t run well natively on Linux, so this step is crucial.<\/p>\n
Step 5:<\/strong> Find the blue \u201cINSTALL\u201d button on the Dungeon Defenders game page and click on it to install the game to your Linux PC. The installation will take some time.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
When the installation of Dungeon Defenders is complete, the blue \u201cINSTALL\u201d button will become a green \u201cPLAY\u201d button. Select this button to start up the game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
