Manjaro + Steam = It finally Works!

[Alaxia]

If it can help some, here is my contribution !

After days of trying with Steam, Wine, Lutris … Without success, I finally managed to launch the game:
1 - Distribution = Manjaro
2 - Package = steam-manjaro 1.0.0.72-3 (and its dependencies)
3 - Steam with Proton 5.0
4 - A few commands, we’re on Linux

cp ./.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Eve\ Online/SharedCache/tq/bin64/launchdarkly_client.pyd ./.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Eve\ Online/SharedCache/tq/
chmod -w ./.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Eve\ Online/SharedCache/tq/launchdarkly_client.pyd

Note : My home is not in a “drive_c” at home

It works !

Consider referencing ~ or $HOME in the path rather than “.” for others to use rather than assuming they’re already in the home folder.

The app ID for Eve Online in Steam is 8500 if you need to reference that too.

Also, instead of copying the file you could use a symbolic link.
