Hah 🙂 I can understand why you’d disagree, but it really is a single platform application. It’s written for Windows and if you can reproduce a bug on native Windows, they’ll log it and maybe even fix it. Anything else is an irrelevance and an expense that software companies just don’t need. The key bit being an expense/time taken away from core product for their core customer base on the supported OS.

“Hey, you want to run on an unsupported platform - be our guest, but the clue’s in the word unsupported. “

I would love for everything to run nicely on Linux, but the reality is that is never going to be the case. For those of us who really want to have our cake and eat it, we either have to put up with some things not working, or boot to a separate drive/machine to play the games we want to play.

Is there a specific problem that makes installing opentrack (vs opentrack-git) using an AUR helper infeasible? I've grown rather fond of automatic updates.

simple kettle May 29, 2025, 6:42 PM

#

The regular opentrack AUR package just downloads and extracts an AppImage. This breaks with AUR helpers like yay because it's not a proper build process, while opentrack-git compiles from source. overall it's more stable and all features should work out of the box, so less problems trying to fix them.

#

It's not worth the time using the yay version. just building it manually from GitHub is more stable and works without any extra hassle. The yay version usually breaks or requires fixes.

uncut sable May 29, 2025, 6:53 PM

#

Unless I'm mistaken, having to update manually is rather a little bit of extra hassle.

I'll see if it works with Proton. If not, I'll stick with AUR.

Lutris support was removed cause it was complete trash

Moved to pure wine for it. I could ask if they wanna do DCS as well

#

I mean, I pretty much only use DCS, SRS, and maybe OvGME for some mods.

#

Those should be easy, I agree.

#

Hell, it's enough to just get DCS running. The rest might take care of itself-ish.

runic ravine Jul 29, 2025, 6:21 AM

#

If SRS is a static URL, i can have it download it and install it, but since DCS is not a static URL people need to manually download it

uncut sable Jul 29, 2025, 6:21 AM

#

Oh, oh, I know that look.

#

That's the "perfect is the enemy of good" look.

#

I mean, I fully believe in your skill to make a one-click-fixes-everything custom Linux installer for DCS, but with respect, you set out to just get something running that's not as scuffed as Lutris.

runic ravine Jul 29, 2025, 6:22 AM

My next step was to put in Comments in the pages and stuffs xD Thanks for that and beating me to it 😛 I'll give this a test run, And Nice sanity check for the installer.

But i gotta figure out on how to make the installer edit the launch script too when the user makes changes while doing the installer.

sadly, Wine 9 and 10 give DCS a debug and i can't get that to turn off. This is gonna be an interesting patch to do for it :v

whats umu-launcher and why?

@dark thicket game is currenty downloading :). PM me

dark thicket Sep 2, 2025, 9:38 PM

#

blissful ether whats `umu-launcher` and why?

Umu launcher is basically the proton fix's that is used now.

#

They went from Proton to Umu, it's basically the same thing, but with patches from the community.

blissful ether Sep 2, 2025, 9:38 PM

#

ah oki, and that means you can run a newer proton than the one in lutris that I run?

dark thicket Sep 2, 2025, 9:39 PM

#

Correct.

#

It auto updates itself to the newest one, So Opentrack (which works) needs to be adjusted every time

blissful ether Sep 2, 2025, 9:42 PM

#

dark thicket It auto updates itself to the newest one, So Opentrack (which works) needs to be...

not a big thing if it works with the newest, when I tried switching opentrack to a newer version (that I also switched in lutris) it didnt work

#

if I can keep both umu-launcher with latest and lutris working at the same time (minus having to switch proton-version in opentrack) then I will give it a shot too

dark thicket Sep 2, 2025, 9:43 PM

#

Lutris has to many issues and such. Which is why i em basically creating this script to have it run under it's own thing.

blissful ether Sep 2, 2025, 9:43 PM

#

but main thing, I will be able to use a newer proton version with it and have opentrack working? (which means I can use the latest SRS too probably)?

#

if so I think you have me convinced to give it a shot 🙂

dark thicket Sep 2, 2025, 9:44 PM

#

SRS was able to be installed and yes it works.

#

for some reason it's not listening to my mic on my hyperx headphones.

blissful ether Sep 2, 2025, 9:45 PM

#

cause I am on an older version of SRS currently because the latest version didn't work

#

yeah I think it is broken, try the newest beta

dark thicket Sep 2, 2025, 9:45 PM

#

Nah it's wine itself that doesn't listen to my mic, i don't recall on how i had it fixed

blissful ether Sep 2, 2025, 9:45 PM

dark thicket Sep 2, 2025, 9:47 PM

Basically, and when umu updates, you just gotta change the version and it works

Cause it's gotta be the same runner. otherwise it won't

blissful ether Sep 2, 2025, 9:48 PM

hmm, how did you get it to pick up the GE-Proton in opentrack like that?

you can even create a profil if your playing othergames with opentrack

and how do I launch the game through umu? just get the launch stuff you have?

in your gitrepo I mean

dark thicket Sep 2, 2025, 9:55 PM

once it's all properly done, it auto reads where the game is.

just launch dcs-launch.sh and it should work

Ah ok, i thought they changed it to a new folder. Guess they didn't.

blissful ether Sep 2, 2025, 10:29 PM

#

they dropped "OpenBeta" from the folder name

#

it also doesnt detect the headtracking if I press Start in opentrack later on

dark thicket Sep 2, 2025, 10:51 PM

#

Probably cause you are using AUR

blissful ether Sep 2, 2025, 10:52 PM

#

so build my own manual opentrack?

#

I can do that, will give it a shot tomorrow then

#

but about the complaints about GAMEID and such, probably because I didnt install through umu?

dark thicket Sep 2, 2025, 11:03 PM

#

Uhhhh Game id is for Steam games. This is straight up Umu. So it doesn't need an ID

#

i could do a sanity check for the folder...

blissful ether Sep 2, 2025, 11:14 PM

Okay, after very briefly screwing up my $PATH so badly I wasn't able to log in except by terminal and utterly unable to execute any commands (other than, fortunately, resetting my $PATH)...

#

My HOTAS is working just fine, except in Wine.

#

For some reason, checking the Wine control panel returns some of my buttons as rolling over - i.e. wrapping from the listed maximum (4E = 78) back to 00, and conflicting with the buttons assigned to those.

#

It's absolutely fine under the native Linux joystick tester, though...

I haven't done the latest DCS upgrade (scared) but I do use Opentrack with Delanclip and DCS on Kubuntu 25.04 via Lutris. I have to use different wine versions though, they won't both run at same time otherwise. Opentrack is using the normal Ge wine version and i am using a custom wine-10 to run the DCS but works fine??

I think I just ran the Opentrack install.exe in the DCS prefix.

#

Then did the rest in settings as far as the wine being used.

OS that's what I saw skipper using or am I missing something

Ok, I'm running Arch + KDE plasma so I'd imagine it roughly works. I just don't want to reinstall 788gbs of DCS if it breaks so I'll have to figure something out

Yep, it started as manually building, then the AUR and now it's just working as a normal package on pacman, its great

Unfortunately I still wouldn't be able to totally avoid it, school has an OS check on the proctoring software, I can probably get a VM to trick it though, then just run my software I use through that as well

Its a fresh install of cachyOS

#

In the past I can get DCS installed, but couldn't get SRS or VR to work. Figured I'd give it another shot on the new guide.

#

I'm thinking its a wrong wine, like maybe I should use wine 11 instead of proton. But I have no idea how to make that work

blissful ether Apr 9, 2026, 4:08 PM

#

it works with proton for me but I use lutris

#

and not cachyos

#

and GE-Proton10-28 🙂

uncut sable Apr 9, 2026, 4:09 PM

#

Lutris here, too; should probably see about updating my GE, come to think about it.

blissful ether Apr 9, 2026, 4:09 PM

#

and you can get SRS working

vestal canyon Apr 9, 2026, 4:09 PM

#

hmm.... and you have SRS and VR working?

blissful ether Apr 9, 2026, 4:10 PM

#

but it needs a newer proton to be able to get dotnet10 working

#

since latest version of SRS requires it

vestal canyon Apr 9, 2026, 4:12 PM

#

I'll try a lutris install. I can get DCS working that way, and my flight setup, but then I can't get SRS/VR to link up. I'll get back to you.

uncut sable Apr 9, 2026, 4:13 PM

#

SRS I think I got going, but VR has been entirely hopeless.

dark thicket Apr 9, 2026, 4:34 PM

#

@vestal canyon were you the umu person?

blissful ether Apr 9, 2026, 4:37 PM

#

yeah

dark thicket Apr 9, 2026, 4:37 PM

#

Well they commented on my video last night at light 1am xD

vestal canyon Apr 9, 2026, 4:51 PM

#

Ya. That was me. I'm actually getting ready for work. I have the ChaosRifle Script running at the moment.

#

I don't get back home until about 1115PM CST

dark thicket Apr 9, 2026, 5:03 PM

#

Oof.

vestal canyon Apr 9, 2026, 5:04 PM

#

Ya. I work from 1:40 to 10:10. And its about an hour each way. I can be on in the morning though if that helps. Just give me a time.

vestal canyon Apr 9, 2026, 6:10 PM

#

Alright. I let DCS update in game for all my modules. SRS auto loaded using the launch script from chaos rifle. I haven't tested my hotas and whatnot and don't have VR setup yet. I'm hoping tomorrow I can get this stuff finished and VR working. I'm sick of windows touching my stuff....

#

I did find that the launcher doesn't display using the script, but it used to when I used lutris

also make sure to double check that the bindings in SRS work

#

cause I had issues with SRS not picking up HOTAS-presses with wrong version of proton

vestal canyon Apr 9, 2026, 6:12 PM

#

I'll double check it when I get home tonight. I have it fully installed on Windows side, but I just can't stand windows anymore lol.

blissful ether Apr 9, 2026, 6:13 PM

#

I dont even have a dual boot 🙂

#

only my manjaro installation

vestal canyon Apr 9, 2026, 6:14 PM

#

I like my cheat trainers too much XD. I suck at most games hahahah

#

But, ya. I'll check the proton and hooks when I get home.

blissful ether Apr 9, 2026, 6:15 PM

#

I would also say check opentrack but you use VR

vestal canyon Apr 9, 2026, 6:15 PM

#

My install is using the Wine 11.4 staging with VR support

#

I can try a second install using lutris or umu later

tidal flare Apr 9, 2026, 6:19 PM

#

Looks like LotATC doesn't like working with Proton, umu, or regular Wine. Installs fine, but on launch:

#

Anyone got any ideas?

Just decided to use WinBoat. Seems to be doing fine there (as it oughta). I'll see if there are any issues using it there but it's looking fine right now

dark thicket Apr 10, 2026, 3:28 AM

#

what is LotATC anyways?

#

OH yes you will probably need winboat for that one

tidal flare Apr 10, 2026, 3:36 AM

#

Also: Just installed SRS for said LotATC (using umu though not winboat because winboat be annoying). I installed all the fonts from C:\Windows\Fonts that I could, but still looks like this. ny help?

Fixed by using wine instead of umu-run

tidal flare Apr 10, 2026, 3:39 AM

#

dark thicket is your voice working?

and I can hear myself through the preview audio but no clue if it will work in-game

dark thicket Apr 10, 2026, 3:39 AM

#

then it should work

tidal flare Apr 10, 2026, 3:39 AM

#

cool

#

I have a feeling this is not gonna be easy lol

dark thicket Apr 10, 2026, 3:40 AM

#

try arrow keys or hover yoru mouse over it

tidal flare Apr 10, 2026, 3:41 AM

#

I can still select them and arrow keys do work, but still stays perfectly black

#

At least it works though

dark thicket Apr 10, 2026, 3:42 AM

#

yerp

tidal flare Apr 10, 2026, 3:43 AM

#

Ah this is a much bigger problem

#

Well at least I know keybinds work

#

Overlay doesn't though

#

...does going back to umu fix it?

dark thicket Apr 10, 2026, 3:43 AM

#

oh... well it worked on mine..

#

SRS is supposed to be on umu :v

#

well is your game via umu or wine

tidal flare Apr 10, 2026, 3:43 AM

#

I assumed more things would be broken cuz the fonts are

dark thicket Apr 10, 2026, 3:43 AM

#

Cause im Umu and Chaos is wine

tidal flare Apr 10, 2026, 3:44 AM

#

I'm not running DCS at all rn I'm just wanting to get it working for EAM to do GCI and ATC and stuff

#

and with Umu the overlays and dropdowns work

#

and keybinds do work

#

So unfortunately: Gonna look really bad, but it does indeed work

dark thicket Apr 10, 2026, 3:45 AM

#

ATC needs the list no? xD

#

winboat SHOULD work well with it though...

tidal flare Apr 10, 2026, 3:47 AM

#

Well it seems like it should work fine here, probably user error as to why no radios are showing up

#

I'll test out WinBoat but i don't know how running multiple applications at once wil work there xd

#

With WinBoat, SRS runs and works pretty much perfectly, overlay works too. Running it and LotATC at the same time is probably gonna be a no-go... might use a laptop for LotATC

dark thicket Apr 10, 2026, 4:11 AM

#

you should be able to use both at the same time o .o

tidal flare Apr 10, 2026, 4:16 AM

#

dark thicket you should be able to use both at the same time o .o

Idk if I run them both it's like they take up too many resources and they both just freeze at once. Gotta sigkill them to close the windows, not even turning off the VM does it

dark thicket Apr 10, 2026, 4:16 AM

#

Yeesh

tidal flare Apr 10, 2026, 4:36 PM

#

So got to testing some more.
Seems like opening LotATC before SRS stops it from crashing, but I've only tested for about 10 minutes now.
With that said: incredibly laggy and probably not gonna be usable. Unfortunate.

#

...and another reason why I don't like windows

#

no thanks doesnt even work

tidal flare Apr 10, 2026, 4:54 PM

#

LotATC Install

====

PREREQUISITES:

Setup_LotAtc.exe (copied to your directory of choice)
Folders for your WINEPREFIX and the LotATC setup (in my case, /home/jc/games/umu-dcs and /home/jc/games/lotatc)
NOTES:
Replace the WINEPREFIX with your own.
umu-run does NOT work for some reason.
I'm using CachyOS, but this will probably work on other distros.

Run: WINEPREFIX="/home/jc/Games/umu-dcs" PROTONPATH="GE-Proton" wine lotatc/Setup_LotAtc.exe
o You can't install to the same directory as your wineprefix!
Go through the installer. Select everything you want and then click install.
Go to Windows/System32 and copy httpapi.dll to your wineprefix's system32 folder, overwriting the old one
o If you don't have a Windows install handy, then you can like download it or smthn, here's the checksum of the one from my personal Windows install (note: not updated in a while)
8371ad53156ca4d93937e3bbc99c2a382eb3258c438fb963e0c3c1c553f9f678 httpapi.dll
Run WINEPREFIX="/home/jc/Games/umu-dcs" winecfg, then go to the Libraries tab
Add a new override: enter httpapi and hit Add. It should automatically say httpapi (native, builtin); if it doesn't select Edit and select that option.
Run WINEPREFIX="/home/jc/Games/umu-dcs" winetricks dxvk (otherwise the client won't redraw)

If you do this out-of-order, for some reason it just doesn't work. You can run the command again though without harm

CD into your installed directory, run WINEPREFIX="/home/jc/Games/umu-dcs" wine client/2.7/LotAtcClient.exe and you're in!
o Important When launching with Wine, it may show an error like "Assertion failed!" This is fine; just hit cancel twice.
(optional) Attach it to the Lutris launcher. Really easy, has the icons and backgrounds and stuff. You don't get any errors when launching.
o Make sure to Enable DXVK in Runner options and configure other applicable settings.

#

thats a lot longer in discord than the text file

#

maybe ill make a video but probably not

#

=====
OF NOTE:
Looks like maps don't work. Like just at all. Don't know why
Also can't maximize the client outside of the main monitor. Also don't know why, maybe something to do with lutris?

vestal canyon Apr 10, 2026, 5:42 PM

#

Alright. I've got DCS and SRS loaded using chaos rifles script. Tonight, I'm going to finish installing wyvern and test everything. Crossing my fingers

#

The only thing I don't like about the script, is that I can't just double click my game and play. I need to launch using a second script.

tidal flare Apr 10, 2026, 5:45 PM

#

vestal canyon The only thing I don't like about the script, is that I can't just double click ...

You might be able to use Lutris, set the runner to Linux, and select the script as the executable. Otherwise you could alias it

tidal flare Apr 11, 2026, 2:19 AM

#

tidal flare ===== **OF NOTE:** Looks like maps don't work. Like just at all. Don't know why ...

Took some time to read through the log file. EVerything's coming thru as TypeError: Cannot read property [xyz] of null and I also get QGeoTileRequestManager: Failed to fetch tile (351,203,9) 5 times, giving up. Last error message was: 'Connection refused' as well as Error 415 (if it's http, unsupported media type)?
Also found this:
CANNOT FOUND FREE PORT FOR TILER 13527 14528 Invalid handle.
No clue what to do from here, but probably gonna be obnoxiously difficult to do on Linux. So no ATC for me until I use Windows, like take a picture of the map in DCS and use that, or fix this. Which I am not intelligent enough to do xd

#

If someone could test if loading, say, OpenStreetMap or another online map works, that could be nice

#

With that being said, normal GCI work might work? As long as bullseyes work, which I don't know and I really am too tired to test right now.

Alrighty. I have DCS and SRS installed and working (Hooray!!!!). I installed Wivrn, Xrizer, and WayVR. How do I get wivrn to detect DCS?

#

I installed DCS through lutris using the chaosrifle script. Then used the downloaded tools (same author, using the helper.sh tool) to install SRS, then copied my hooks into place. Only thing missing is VR

Maybe i did not fix it i dont know, its been stuck like this for a while. Does anyone know a fix or i shouldn't have forced to launch with proton? Whenever i use wine it gives an error and crashes

#

When i try it with proton-GE it gives an DX11 error but its behind the DCS thing so i cannot interact with it

#

This is the error message.
