Install
The installation process from Steam works fine, so download and install Achron, and attempt to run it once before doing the following. You will be met with an error. This is expected. We need Proton to create some initialization files for this game first.
Game Files
Achron does not seem to be able to create its own folders, even if it can create/edit the files within them. The error this creates says that the home directory is unwritable or corrupted. You can fix this by going to
~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/109700/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Documents/
and creating a new directory named Achron. Within this Achron directory, you need to create another called profiles and replays.
Fonts
You will also need to installs some fonts. Run the following in your console:
WINEARCH=win64 WINEPREFIX="/home/username-here/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/109700/pfx" winetricks
You will need to install:
- corefonts
- Tahoma
- Lucida Console
The behavior of the situation is a lot difference since I tried it a year ago. Proton seems to have changed quite a bit!
Used Protontricks to install fonts (corefonts, tahoma, lucidia)
Also edited the first 2 lines of configuration.ini file (.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/compatdata/109700/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/My Documents/Achron/configuration.ini) to set it to a valid resolution (2560x1440)
I haven't spent much time playing, but it seems fine so far.
The Font Problem is solvable but not sufficient
Using Winetricks with the path set to the proton folder I was able to install the missing fonts (Arial, core fonts and tohoma) which allowed the game to launch. The opening window played the start menu sound but showed no graphics whatsoever.
Gives error message: 'The Achron directory within the current user's home directory is corrupt or the home directory is unwritable.'
UnknownGives error message "Could not load font Tahoma" and I am not in the mood of finding out how to install fonts in proton.
