Making the game work with mods on Linux!

Contents

Introduction

Lethal Company works just fine with Proton 8.0-4. What if you want to play with mods? It requires a bit of tinkering. Follow me…

Step 1

Download a mod. It comes as an archive.

Step 2

Unzip into the game’s root directory.

I picked BiggerLobby mod as an example, just put downloaded mod’s name. The second parameter is Lethal Company’s location on your system. You can see mine.

For Debian-based distros and with Steam installed from deb yours must look similar. For other distros, you can find out the game’s location by clicking RMB on the game in your library -> Manage -> Browse local files.

cd ~/Downloads/
unzip bizzlemip-BiggerLobby-2.4.0.zip "/home/%USERNAME%/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/common/Lethal Company"

Step 3

Install Protontricks.

Recommended way of installation is via Flatpak. As of now (December 2023) deb package is out-of-date (1.10.3 vs 1.10.5), so I installed the Flatpak version.

If you choose to install the Flatpak version make sure Flatpak is enabled on your system and run

flatpak install flathub com.github.Matoking.protontricks

Step 4

Configure winecfg following this instruction.

If you installed protontricks via Flatpak, get it running with the command:

flatpak run com.github.Matoking.protontricks --gui

Instead of:

protontricks --gui

When you are asked to select a game you’re about to configure choose Lethal Company obviously.

Step 5

Exit protontricks and start the game.

Conclusion

That’s it, now Lethal Company will run with mods!
