Divinity: Original Sin 2 is an RPG video game developed and published by Larian Studios. It is the sequel for Divinity: Original Sin 1. In the game, players can play solo or with three friends. The game is very similar to Dungeons & Dragons and is known for its in-depth RPG mechanics. Here\u2019s how to play it on Linux.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Divinity: Original Sin 2 works on Linux pretty well, as it has a gold rating on ProtonDB. However, it will only work with the help of Steam and Proton. To get it working, you\u2019ll need to install Steam.<\/p>\n

Open up a terminal window on the Linux desktop to start the Steam installation on your Linux PC. You can open up a Linux terminal on the desktop by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T<\/strong> on the keyboard. Or, search for \u201cTerminal\u201d in the app menu.<\/p>\n

With the terminal window open and ready to use, follow the installation instructions below that corresponds with the Linux OS you currently use.<\/p>\n

Ubuntu<\/h4>\n

Steam is installable on Ubuntu through the official software repositories. To get it working, use the following Apt install<\/strong> command down below.<\/p>\n

\nsudo apt install steam\n<\/pre>\n
Debian<\/h4>\n
To get Steam working on Debian, you\u2019ll need to download the DEB package to your computer. Using the wget<\/strong> command down below, grab the DEB package from the Steam website.<\/p>\n
\nwget https:\/\/steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net\/client\/installer\/steam.deb\n<\/pre>\n
After downloading the DEB package to your home folder on your Debian Linux PC, the installation of Steam can begin. Using the dpkg<\/strong> installation command down below, install the package to your computer.<\/p>\n
\nsudo dpkg -i steam.deb\n<\/pre>\n
With Steam installed on your Debian Linux PC, open up a terminal and use the apt-get install -f<\/strong> command down below to correct any dependency issues that may have occurred during the installation.<\/p>\n
\nsudo apt-get install -f\n<\/pre>\n
Arch Linux<\/h4>\n
Steam is available for Arch Linux users in the \u201cmultilib\u201d software repository. However, not every installation of Arch Linux has the \u201cmultilib\u201d repo enabled. To enable this repository, open up the \/etc\/pacman.conf<\/code> file in your favorite text editor (as root).<\/p>\n
With the configuration file open, locate the \u201cmultilib\u201d line. Then, remove the # symbol from the line. Also, remove the # symbol from the lines directly below it. Then, save the edits and close the editor.<\/p>\n
Re-sync Pacman with the Arch Linux software repositories using the command below.<\/p>\n
\nsudo pacman -Syy\n<\/pre>\n
Finally, install Steam.<\/p>\n
\nsudo pacman -S steam\n<\/pre>\n
Fedora\/OpenSUSE<\/h4>\n
Both Fedora and OpenSUSE will be able to install the Steam application through software repositories included on the system. That being said, Steam works better with Flatpak, so we suggest following the installation instructions for Flatpak instead.<\/p>\n
Flatpak<\/h4>\n
To get the Steam app up and running on Flatpak, you\u2019ll need first to install the Flatpak runtime on your computer. To do that, install the \u201cflatpak\u201d package. If you need guidance in setting up the runtime, follow our guide on the subject.<\/p>\n
After setting up the Flatpak runtime on your computer, the Steam app can be installed. Then, using the two commands down below, get Steam up and running.<\/p>\n
\nflatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https:\/\/flathub.org\/repo\/flathub.flatpakrepo\n<\/pre>\n
\nflatpak install flathub com.valvesoftware.Steam\n<\/pre>\n
With Steam set up on Linux, open up the app and sign in using your user credentials. Then, follow the step-by-step instructions down below to get Divinity: Original Sin 2 up and running.<\/p>\n
Step 1:<\/strong> Find the \u201cSteam\u201d menu, select it, and click on the \u201cSettings\u201d button. Then, locate the \u201cSteam Play\u201d section, and check both boxes to enable Proton in Steam.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Locate the \u201cStore\u201d button, and click on it with the mouse. By selecting this button, you\u2019ll access the Steam storefront. Once on the store, locate the search box, and click on it with the mouse.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Using the keyboard, type in \u201cDivinity: Original Sin 2\u201d and press the Enter<\/strong> key. When you press, Enter<\/strong> the search results will appear in Steam.<\/p>\n
Step 2:<\/strong> Look through the search results for \u201cDivinity: Original Sin 2\u201d, and click on it with the mouse. When you find the game in the search results, click on it with the mouse to access the game\u2019s Steam store page.<\/p>\n
On the Divinity 2 store page, locate the green \u201cAdd to cart\u201d button and select it with the mouse. Once the game is added to your cart, find the cart button at the top-right portion of the app and click on it.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Step 3:<\/strong> After selecting the cart button, go through buying the game for your Steam account. Then, find the \u201cLibrary\u201d button, and click on it with the mouse to access your Steam games library.<\/p>\n
Inside the games library, find the search box and type in \u201cDivinity 2\u201d. Then, select the right-click button on the mouse, and choose the \u201cProperties\u201d button. Then, locate the \u201cCompatibility\u201d section.<\/p>\n
Step 4:<\/strong> In the \u201cCompatibility\u201d section, check the box that says \u201cForce the use of a specific Steam Play\u201d compatibility tool. Then, choose \u201cProton 6.3-6\u201d as the one to use.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
After selecting Proton, close the Properties window. Then, find the blue \u201cINSTALL\u201d button and click it to install the game. Select the green \u201cPLAY\u201d button to start up the game when the game is done installing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
