Launch Options

Linux and Steam Deck users may need to adjust launch options for mods to work correctly, as Wine and Proton do not always load version.dll automatically. Some games may load it on their own, but it is recommended to explicitly set it using the overrides below.

Steam Launch Options

Using version.dll

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="version=n,b" %command%

Non-Steam Launchers

Each launcher handles environment variables differently. Refer to the documentation for the launcher you are using.

Useful resources:

• Heroic Games Launcher
• Lutris

Additional Information

Important

When using Steam, the WINEDLLOVERRIDES variable must be included and must appear before %command% or mods may not load.

Using other options

You can include additional tools in your Steam launch options. Example with mangohud:

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="version=n,b" mangohud %command%

Checking other configurations

You can see common launch options used by other players on ProtonDB. Make sure you understand each part of a launch option before using it, as using random settings can cause performance or stability issues.
