Lutris is a popular GUI for managing games that run through compatibility layers such as Wine. | Lutris is a popular GUI for managing games that run through compatibility layers such as Wine. The program's website hosts user-made scripts which will automatically install various versions of a game (assuming you have the original game disc) with the necessary patching and configuration for your system, making Lutris a theoretically one-click solution for playing a game in Linux. The Oni community has provided scripts for installing the above three patched versions of Oni. If those scripts don't work for some reason, we provide manual instructions for installing the game through Lutris as well. | ||

3. The game's installer will be launched and you can proceed through the screens as usual; when asked for a destination directory, go with the default of C:\Program Files\Oni – this is a directory internal to the Wine prefix being created, not the actual location on your hard drive, and some of the install scripts expect this path to be used. Make sure to say "No" when the installer asks if you want to run GLSetup. | 3.

AE Setup's default suggested location for Oni, C:\Program Files\Oni, is correct as long as you didn't change it in step 2. Once the AE Installer is downloaded by AE Setup, it will launch and download its core mods, including the Daodan DLL patch which allows Oni to run on modern systems. | ||

In Flatseal, Lutris should be listed automatically if you installed the Flatpak version. Make sure that Lutris has permission to access /run/media/. Now you can proceed past the writability warning and continue with the installation in Lutris (you would get a fatal error here if you disregarded the warning). | ||
8. It will take a couple minutes for Lutris to launch the installer, but you can then walk through the original Oni installer's process to install the game. The destination within the installer does not matter much; you have already told Lutris where the game will actually be going, and the location chosen here will be a subdirectory within that folder. Thus the default installation location of C:\Program Files\Oni will be fine. Make sure to say "No" when asked to run GLSetup.

When installation is done and you've closed the Oni installer, you'll see a card for Oni in your Lutris library with user-submitted cover art. You're not done yet: right-click the game and choose "Configure". In the Configure window, under the "Game options" tab, change "Prefix architecture" from "Auto (default)" to "32-bit". Under "Runner options", change the Wine version from the default setting to "System", then turn off Esync, Fsync, AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution, BattlEye Anti-Cheat and Easy Anti-Cheat. Click Save. | ||
10. Oni isn't ready to run until we patch it with the Daodan DLL. Right-click the game again and choose "Browse files". You'll find yourself in the Linux file manager looking at a folder probably called "oni". Enter it and drill down to Program Files/Oni/, where the game EXE and GameDataFolder reside. Now that you see the directory where the Daodan DLL needs to go, visit the [[Daodan DLL]] page and follow the instructions there for manual installation. Note that step 5 tells the reader to click on the Oni EXE, but in Linux you'll need to launch the game through Lutris. When launched through Lutris, Oni should now run successfully. | 10.

Return to Lutris, click the arrow next to the wine glass icon at bottom, then choose "Open Wine console". The console window that pops up should start in the base directory of the Wine prefix, e.g. /home/you/Games/oni, so enter the actual Oni folder with <code>cd "drive_c/Program Files/Oni"</code>. Next, enter <code>GameDataConvert.bat</code> to run the batch script by that name. The script should proceed automatically. When it's done, close the Wine console. | ||

You're not done yet because this copy of the entry in Lutris is still pointing to the original game executable in the Wine prefix. Right-click the game entry and choose Configure. Under the "Game options" tab, change the executable from […]/Oni/Oni.exe to […]/Oni/OniX.exe and click Save. You now have a direct way to launch OniX from your Lutris library by simply double-clicking it. | ||
