@ -92,7 +92,7 @@ Notes about Steam
Linux Steam's can run now with box86. But it's still a bit unstable, and not everything works:
- First problem is Steam crashing after the sign-in window, if you encounter this issue, you may need to add libappindicator. To install it on Debian, run `sudo apt install libappindicator1`.
- If you select to "Remember password", Steam is crashing on subsequent starts, unless you have libnm installed. To install it on Debian, run `sudo apt install libnm0`.
- If you have trouble installing Steamp, you can find `install_steam.sh` in the root folder of the box86 repo. This simple script will download and install steam in your home folder, and then create a shortcut to steam in `/usr/local/bin` (and for this it will ask for sudo permission). Simply use `steam` to launch once it's installed. Note that the installation, being in the Home folder, will only work for a single user. Don't use this script if you need a multi-user installation.
- If you have trouble installing Steam, you can find `install_steam.sh` in the root folder of the box86 repo. This simple script will download and install steam in your home folder, and then create a shortcut to steam in `/usr/local/bin` (and for this it will ask for sudo permission). Simply use `steam` to launch once it's installed. Note that the installation, being in the Home folder, will only work for a single user. Don't use this script if you need a multi-user installation.
- Once open, Steam will only work on "Small Mode" and in "Big Picture", not in the regular "Large Mode". This is because some Steam components used in the browser view are only 64-bit now. So go in the "View" menu and switch to "Small view", else the list will stay empty. Alternatively, Steam can be started in small mode directly by using `+open steam://open/minigameslist` command line arguments.
- To avoid the "libc.so.6 is absent" message, you can use `STEAMOS=1` and `STEAM_RUNTIME=1` as environment variables (it's automatically there if you used the `install_steam.sh` script)
- Some Steam games (most Source engine games, like "Portal" or "Half-Life 2") use libtcmalloc. Box86 will detect it and will try to LD_PRELOAD it, for better compatibility. While it should work without the aforementioned feature, it is safer to add it to your system if you intend to play those games. To install it on Debian, run `sudo apt install libtcmalloc-minimal4`.
