I tried running it with lutris but that didn’t work, I got an error saying I had a non compatible GPU (getting nms release day vibes lol)

In the end I added starfield.exe as a non steam game in steam, and forced proton under compatibility properties and it worked

In the case of Linux I strongly recommend that you never use installers or repacks, which usually have a high probability of failure with Wine in my experience.

I can’t confirm right now because I haven’t downloaded Starfield yet, but try to only use portable versions of games, like the ones Steamrip offers, where you just download a .zip and you’re all set, just run the .exe in Wine and play as if it were Windows.

Although Starfield is currently not available on Steamrip, you can find a portable version of Starfield on Rutracker.

Unpack the rar, mount the iso, run the executable.

Im currently installing fitgirl’s. Her gta iv repack worked fine so i think it will work

I use a program called unrar to unpack .rars

unrar /path/to/.rar/

Then I run the installer .exe with Wine. Once that finishes I add it as a non-steam game and select the newest version of Proton. Sometimes I’ll check protondb if the game doesn’t work right away.

so you’ve already got the .rar file, which is good, but you’ll need a way to extract the game files. i dont use arch, but theres probably a multitude of ways to extract the files.

Once thats done, you’ll need a way to run the executable. you can either: use windows (self explanatory) Use proton and steam: get steam, get proton up qt, get the latest proton GE version, add the .exe to steam as a game. then in the game page settings, go to properties and then compatibility. once there, choose a specific steam compatibility tool, and use whatever proton version you just downloaded. normally it should work, but linux is weird sometimes, and with a game this big, nothing is certain. you can also try lutris, but youll have to look for tutorial on yt or smth for that
