Steam Play compatibility tool to run games using native Linux engines
Official mirrors: GitHub, dreamer GitLab.
Compatibility tool will work on any modern 64-bit Linux distribution. All packaged games are compiled for Steam Runtime environment and require no additional dependencies.
Using Luxtorpeda with Steam native runtime may or may not work, but is not supported.
This is pre-release quality software, expect bugs and missing features.

A configuration json file named config.json
will be located in the luxtorpeda directory. It has the following paramters:
- host_url - This is used to determine where the packages.json file is located remotely, for use in automatic updates of this file.
- should_do_update - If this parameter is set to true, then the packages.json file will be updated automatically.
Just click "Play" and Luxtorpeda will download and install the package for you. You need to select Luxtorpeda as a compatibility tool first, of course.

Check issues to see if we are working on it.
You can also make a package request by creating a new issue
You can also create a package yourself
You can use cargo
as with any Rust project; make
serves only as a convenient
frontend for packaging and triggering longer cargo
commands.
