Steam install

Linux

Native

install steam alongside your gpu drivers, and lib32 opengl drivers.

pacman -S steam \
          nvidia \
          lib32-nvidia-utils \
          lib32-libva-vdpau-driver \
          lib32-libva-intel-driver

pacaur -S lib32-pipewire

On archlinux, steam ships with 2x executables.

• steam (os libraries)
• steam-runtime (frozen steam-supported libraries)

When encountering issues, I've had more success with steam-runtime.

Wine

sudo pacman -S cabextract
packer -S ttf-tahoma ttf-ms-fonts

In order for fonts to work correctly, I also had to run steam with the option '-no-dwrite'

cd /home/src/
curl -O# http://media.steampowered.com/client/installer/SteamSetup.exe

export WINEARCH="win32" export WINEPREFIX="/home/will/.wine/x86"
winetricks corefonts vcrun6
#winetricks steam
wine SetupSteam.exe
wine reg add 'HKCU\Software\Valve\Steam' /v DWriteEnable /t REG_DWORD /d 00000000

#!/usr/bin/env sh
# /usr/bin/winesteam
env WINEPREFIX="/home/will/.wine/x86" wine C:\\windows\\command\\start.exe /Unix /home/will/.wine/x86/dosdevices/c:/users/Public/Start\ Menu/Programs/Steam/Steam.lnk

Video Card Configuration

I highly recommend adjusting your video card driver to reduce screen tearing
and increase general image quality in game.

See nvidia.
