Is there any documentation on how to play PoE on Ubuntu 22.04?

All of the guides and install directions I have found are years old. I have tried guides for Steam, Proton, wintericks/wine. But they all seem too old and use older versions of those programs.

My current attempt with Steam allows me to download the game and install it but the game just stops after I press the Green Play button and the Green Play button comes back with no errors posted. I am guessing there are some command line settings I have not correctly added.


I can follow directions if there are some somewhere.

I run PoE in Linux Mint successfully via Steam and Proton.

Make sure you are using Steam Play. Click the Steam menu item, click Settings.
In the new window that appears, click Steam Play (on the left menu) and check Enable Steam Play for supported titles. Also, under Advanced, check Enable Steam Play for all other titles. Ensure you choose Proton Experimental.

You also have the option to run another version of Proton, such as by Glorius Eggroll - GE-Proton7-51 is a current version.

Just installed on Ubuntu 22.04, hardware some AMD CPU & GPU. So far it works better than my previous install on the same hardware. Previous install may have been messed up to some degree though.

Anyway procedure I used:

1. Make sure sound output works on the system. Use test utility.

2. Download Wine. See: https://wiki.winehq.org/Ubuntu

3. Install drivers. See: https://github.com/lutris/docs/blob/master/InstallingDrivers.md
Use different driver - see link - depending on GFX/GPU:


4. Download lutris https://lutris.net/downloads


5. Install PoE - see: https://lutris.net/games/path-of-exile/
I used the 'standalone' version.


So this works (so far) without Proton/Steam anything.
