How to use DarqUI and auto launch on Bazzite (and perhaps Linux in general)

[morriscox]

Bazzite is a Linux distro that has Steam Deck functionality. I installed EverQuest 2 using Steam and then put DarqUI Unified.exe in the UI directory. (1) I had installed Faugus Launcher and used it to launch DarqUI Unified.exe. It downloaded some stuff (which I think included some DRM stuff) and then DarqUI Unified.exe launched after I selected the EverQuest II prefix. I only needed to specify the prefix once.

What makes Faugus Launcher different from Protontricks is that I was able to set "Run this program after closing the util" to run LaunchPad.exe and it worked (EQ2.exe also works). DarqUI itself ran with Protontricks but would not auto launch.

The problem is that Steam uses .local which doesn't seem to work with Protontricks or WineZGUI or WineCharm as it's a hidden folder.

Go to Settings.
Find the section: "Run this program after closing the util".

For Faugus Launcher

Use the Browse button or enter S:\.local\share\Steam\steamapps\common\EverQuest 2\LaunchPad.exe if the Browse button doesn't give you the correct folder.


For Protontricks

Use the Browse button or enter Z:\var\home\<user>\.local\share\Steam\steamapps\common\EverQuest 2\LaunchPad.exe
The Browse button shows that the path is valid. However, auto launch will not work.

(1) In the Steam library, right click on EverQuest II, go to Manage, and select Browse local files.
