Overlord is an action RPG developed by Triumph Studios and published by Codemasters for Xbox 360, Microsoft Windows, PS3, and Linux. The game came out in 2007. In this guide, we\u2019ll show you how to play Overlord on Linux.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Getting Overlord working on Linux<\/h2>\n

Overlord is a native Linux game, and it will run well on Linux without any issues. That being said, it can only run on Linux via the official Steam for Linux client. For this reason, we\u2019ll need to go over how to install the Steam Linux client.<\/p>\n

Install Steam<\/h3>\n

To start the installation of Steam on your Linux PC, you\u2019ll need to open up a terminal window. To open up a terminal window on the Linux desktop, press\u00a0Ctrl + Alt + T\u00a0<\/strong>on the keyboard. Or, search for \u201cTerminal\u201d in the app menu and open it that way.<\/p>\n

When the terminal window is open and ready to use, follow along with the installation instructions down below that correspond with the Linux OS you use to get Steam up and running.<\/p>\n

Ubuntu<\/h4>\n

Steam is installable on Ubuntu via the official software repositories. To install it, use the\u00a0apt install\u00a0<\/strong>command below.<\/p>\n

\nsudo apt install steam\n<\/pre>\n
Debian<\/h4>\n
The fastest way to get Steam up and running on Debian is to officially download the latest release of Steam from the Valve website. To do that, use the following\u00a0wget\u00a0<\/strong>download command down below.<\/p>\n
\nwget https:\/\/steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net\/client\/installer\/steam.deb\n<\/pre>\n
After downloading the latest release of Steam to your computer, you can start the installation process for Steam using the\u00a0dpkg\u00a0<\/strong>command down below. This command will set up the Steam DEB.<\/p>\n
sudo dpkg -i steam.deb<\/p>\n
Now that Steam is set up on your Debian PC, use the following\u00a0apt-get install -f\u00a0<\/strong>command to correct any dependencies that may have occurred during the installation process.<\/p>\n
\nsudo apt-get install -f\n<\/pre>\n
Arch Linux<\/h4>\n
It is possible to install Steam on Arch Linux through the \u201cmultilib\u201d software repository. To enable the \u201cmultilib\u201d software repository, start by opening up the \/etc\/pacman.conf<\/code> file in your favorite text editor. Then, locate the \u201cmultilib\u201d line and remove the #<\/code> symbol from it, as well as the lines directly below it.<\/p>\n
Save the edits, then exit the text editor. After that, re-sync Arch to the Linux software repositories.<\/p>\n
\nsudo pacman -Syy\n<\/pre>\n
Once everything is up to date, you can install the latest release of Steam on your computer using\u00a0pacman<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
\nsudo pacman -S steam\n<\/pre>\n
Fedora\/OpenSUSE<\/h4>\n
Both Fedora and OpenSUSE are capable of setting up Steam through software repositories included out of the box. That being said, the Flatpak release of Steam works much better on these operating systems, and we suggest using that instead.<\/p>\n
Flatpak<\/h4>\n
To get Steam working via Flatpak, start by installing the Flatpak runtime. To do that, install the \u201cflatpak\u201d package on your computer. If you\u2019re unable to get the Flatpak runtime working, please follow our guide on the subject.<\/p>\n
With the runtime up and running, use the commands down below to get the Steam app up and running via Flatpak.<\/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
Install Overlord on Linux<\/h2>\n
Now that Steam is installed, open up the app with your mouse. Once Steam is open, use the login screen to sign in to Steam using your account credentials. When you\u2019ve signed in, follow the step-by-step instructions down below to get Overlord working on Linux.<\/p>\n
Step 1:\u00a0<\/strong>Open up the Steam app, and find the \u201cStore\u201d button. Click on this button with the mouse to access the Steam storefront. Once you\u2019ve gotten to the Steam storefront, locate the search box, and click on it with the mouse.<\/p>\n
Once you\u2019ve selected the search box with the mouse, type in \u201cOverlord\u201d into the search box, and press the\u00a0Enter\u00a0<\/strong>key to view the search results. Look through the search results, and click on \u201cOverlord\u201d in the app menu.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Step 2:<\/strong> When you click on the \u201cOverlord\u201d search result, you\u2019ll be taken to the Overlord Steam storefront page. On this page, look around for the green \u201cadd to cart\u201d button, and click on it with the mouse.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
When you click on the \u201cadd to cart\u201d button, you\u2019ll be adding Overlord to your Steam cart. From here, click on the cart icon and follow through the process of purchasing the game for your Steam account.<\/p>\n
Step 3:<\/strong> Find the \u201cLibrary\u201d button, and click on it with the mouse to access your Steam games library. From there, search for \u201cOverlord\u201d in your collection, and select it with the mouse.<\/p>\n
Step 4:<\/strong> Once you\u2019ve located Overlord in the Steam library, find the blue \u201cINSTALL\u201d button and select it to install the game onto your Linux PC. The installation process shouldn\u2019t take too long.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
When the installation is complete, find the green \u201cPLAY\u201d button and click on it to start up Overlord for Linux. Enjoy, and happy gaming!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
