Outlast is an FPS survival horror game developed and published by Red Barrels on PC and consoles. The game focuses on an investigative journalist who decided to investigate a remote psychiatric hospital to find monsters living inside. Here\u2019s how to play it on Linux.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Outlast is a native Linux game. However, the native release doesn\u2019t seem to perform and the Proton one, so we\u2019ll be covering the Proton release of Outlast in this guide.<\/p>\n

To get the Proton release of Outlast working on your Linux PC, you will need to install the latest Steam Linux client. To set up the latest Steam Linux client, open up a terminal window on the Linux desktop by pressing\u00a0Ctrl + Alt + T\u00a0<\/strong>on the keyboard. Or by searching for \u201cTerminal\u201d in the app menu.<\/p>\n

Ubuntu<\/h4>\n

To get Steam working on Ubuntu, use the following\u00a0apt install\u00a0<\/strong>command down below.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\nsudo apt install steam\n<\/pre>\n
Debian<\/h4>\n
If you need Steam and you use Debian, the best way to get it working is to directly download the Steam DEB package. To do that, use the following wget\u00a0<\/strong>command down below.<\/p>\n
\nwget https:\/\/steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net\/client\/installer\/steam.deb\n<\/pre>\n
Now that the Steam DEB package download is complete, it is time to install it onto your computer. Using the dpkg\u00a0<\/strong>command down below to get it working.<\/p>\n
\nsudo dpkg -i steam.deb\n<\/pre>\n
With Steam installed on your Debian Linux PC, you\u2019ll need to correct any of the dependency issues on the system. To fix these problems, make use of the following apt-get install -f\u00a0<\/strong>command.<\/p>\n
\nsudo apt-get install -f\n<\/pre>\n
Arch Linux<\/h4>\n
To install Steam on Arch Linux, you will need to enable the \u201cmultilib\u201d software repository. To do that, open up the \/etc\/pacman.conf file in your favorite text editor (using the root account).<\/p>\n
Once the text file is open, locate the \u201cmultilib\u201d software repository and remove the # symbol from in front of it, as well as those directly below it. After that, save the edits and resync Arch Linux with the official software repositories.<\/p>\n
\nsudo pacman -Syy\n<\/pre>\n
Finally, install Steam on your Arch Linux PC using the\u00a0pacman\u00a0<\/strong>command down below.<\/p>\n
\nsudo pacman -S steam\n<\/pre>\n
Fedora\/OpenSUSE<\/h4>\n
If you use Fedora or OpenSUSE, you\u2019ll be able to install the app on your Linux PC with software repositories included on the system. That being said, the Flatpak release of Steam works much better, and we suggest using those instructions instead.<\/p>\n
Flatpak<\/h4>\n
To install Steam via the Flatpak method, you\u2019ll first need to turn on the Flatpak runtime. You can set up the Flatpak runtime by following our in-depth guide on the subject.<\/p>\n
After setting up the Flatpak runtime, enter the two commands down below to get the latest release of Steam working on your computer.<\/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
