It's been almost a week since this game was released, so I bet you've heard all about it already. In this guide I'll show you what I did to install it in Steam on Ubuntu using Wine.
- Install a new version of Wine. Open up a terminal and run the following:
- sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa
- sudo apt-get update
- sudo apt-get install wine1.7
- Install Steam.
- Download the installer.
- Run it by right-clicking the file and choosing "Wine Windows Program Loader"
- Follow the wizard.
- Install the game.
- Purchase it through Steam.
- Let Steam download it.
Fixing some problems
- I got a (non-fatal) error saying something about the gnome-keyring. I fixed it by following the accepted answer at askubuntu.
- The textures wouldn't load. For example, the main menu background didn't show South Park: The Stick of Truth, but rather a couple of pink squares floating around. Also, my character was red. I fixed this by installing newer graphics drivers for my Intel graphics card.
- Follow the instructions at the Steam Support site
- Update your system (sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade)
- Reboot your computer.
