This guide covers how to get Forza Horizon 6 running on Linux with working online features using the denuvOwO crack.

1. Installation & Crack

Source: Download the game files (cs.rin.ru, gamedrive, etc.). Apply Crack: Download the denuvOwO crack from a trusted source. Move the contents into the game folder, merging folders and replacing all existing DLLs.

2. Configuration Files

You need to edit two locations to ensure Steam detects the game correctly (Spacewar AppID):

1. Set Steam_appid.txt to 480 in the root folder.
2. Set Steam_appid.txt to 480 inside the ./steam_settings/ folder.

Edit steam_settings/configs.user.ini:

Change account_name to your preferred nickname. Keep the default steam_id. Add these lines at the end of the file to enable online connectivity:

[main::connectivity]
disable_lan_only=1
offline=0

3. Steam Setup

Add forzahorizon6.exe as a Non-Steam Game (do not use launcher.exe). Under Compatibility, force the use of GE-Proton10-34 (or latest).

4. Launch Options

NVIDIA Users: Use these arguments to prevent driver timeouts and crashes during 3D rendering transitions:

VKD3D_CONFIG=no_upload_hvv,single_queue PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU=0 PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 PROTON_SET_GAME_DRIVE=1 WINEDLLOVERRIDES="winmm=n,b;steam_api64=n,b" %command%

Wayland Users: If the game fails to boot, add PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 to your arguments. Note: Disable this if you experience windowing issues and ask help

5. In-Game Settings & Login

Microsoft Link: On first launch, link your (alt) Microsoft account via microsoft.com/link. Graphics Settings: DLSS: Set to AUTO or OFF (any other setting will cause crashs) Frame Generation and Reflex: Must be OFF too

AMD Users: These settings generally work out of the box with the arguments above.

6. Verification

Finish the initial tutorial. Once you reach Mei’s House, you should see other players in the world. If you are still offline, ensure your Steam client is running and your status is Online.

*Tested on CachyOS / Arch Linux with RTX 4070 Ti S

check it out its open source: https://github.com/kaezrr/steamer and not vibe coded.

I made this for myself and decided to share it for others to use as they see fit.
I play a lot of non-steam games and got pretty tired of lutris and herioc games launcher causing issues. Steam actually works perfect for non steam games nowadays, many games I couldnt boot on lutris and heroic just ended up working fine when added as a non-steam game.

But I also kinda wanted it too look good, so I just took the opportunity to make a quick rust tool that automates adding icons, headers, logos and all for your non-steam shortcuts. It works pretty well, and could easily be extended to work with regular steam games if people want to.

there might exist a better tool but well I am a programmer and it seemed like a good programming exercise (no LLMs used, other than to reverse engineer steams proprietary VDF format).

Cheers

UE4SS is a script extension for Unreal Engine that some mods depend on: https://github.com/Chrisr0/RE-UE4SS

I've seen plenty of clear instructions for how to install it so I'm confident I've done everything correctly (my files are all where they should be) but ue4ss doesn't seem to be running at all. The game still launches, but the ue4ss.log file is not generated and none of the associated mods work.

I tried fiddling around with a few different proton/wine versions (via Heroic) and tried build 5 and 6 of ue4ss with no change. Did anyone figure out how to get it working?

CPU: Intel Core i5-11400H

GPU: NVIDIA RTX 3050 Laptop GPU (4GB VRAM)

RAM: 8 GB

Linux Distribution: CachyOS

Desktop Environment: Wayland

Release Info: dodi Repack

Issue:Unarc.dll error code:-11 shows up duting installation though Lutris

I made a lightweight launcher to simplify launching Online-Fix games under Linux.

System Information:
CPU: Ryzen 5 5600X
GPU: RX 6700 XT

Tested on:

• Arch Linux
• KDE Plasma
• Wine GE 8-26
• Proton Experimental

Current features:

• Launch multiple Online-Fix games from one interface
• Store per-game Wine prefixes
• Custom launch arguments
• Basic game detection
• Lightweight GTK interface

The project is still early and the UI is very basic, but it works well enough for daily use.

Why I made it:
I got tired of manually configuring prefixes and launch commands for each game, so I automated most of the repetitive setup.

Known issues:

• Some games still require manual DLL overrides
• Prefix detection is inconsistent on some setups
• No automatic dependency installer yet

Feedback and compatibility reports are welcome.

Downloaded and installed Black Myth Wukong from voices38 iso file, mounted it and installed it flawlessly. I am using bottles for Black Myth Wukong and it ran perfectly the first time, with some stuttering but wasn't too much. Next day it just doesn't turn on at all. Gives this error no matter what I try:

Things I tried: 
-dx11 Flag in the game args.
Used Soda, WineGE, GE-Proton-34/33/28 wine prefixes
Installed all necessary dependencies like Vcredist15-22 and dotnet35-45.
Changed DXVK to different versions.
Deleted shader Cache.

Anyone got same issue or fix? 🙏

Been trying to get Arma 3 from fitgirl to unpack using Lutris for the last couple of days to complete failure. It keeps getting stuck at 3.3% most times with the error message "An error occured while unpacking: Unable to write data to disk!Unarc.dll returned an error code:-11 ERROR: archive data corrupted (decompression fails)". Wondering if anyone's got it going.

Checksums all check out. I have tried changing prefixes, game drives(even switching to an ext4 one), re-downloading the torrent, using shorter install paths, capping the RAM, turning on and off Feral mode, playing around with different runners and versions on fresh prefixes but nothing's really come of it, still keeps failing.

For context, right before trying Arma 3, I had gotten COD: MW remastered(2017) and Insurgency: Sandstorm going well.

I've got no idea on what to do next so I'll really appreciate any help.
