Discovery on Linux. Article Guide. - darkwind - 07-15-2024
Thanks to @emawind84, i was able to install Discovery Freelancer at linux working correctly.
I wrote article for that with pictures and exact dependencies used.
I found instructions very simple (i did them with initial nearly zero knowledge in Lutris and Wine) and reliable for reproducing, so hopefully it will live long and will be easy to update for maintenance.
P.S. this version of Linux installing uage does not have problems with switching accounts, patching the game and etc. We just use Discovery Launcher normally.
May gaming at linux live long and prosper.

@emawind84 helps once again and clarifies correct installation of dxvk 2.4. Step ## 6. Setup DxVk was updated with next changes for manual dxvk2.4 32bit setup.
New version of the article should be already visible
This update with applying properly dxdv v2.4 fixes issue with alt-tab, now it works reliably in full screen without needing gamescope or virtual desktop

Git Diff Wrote:
+## Extra info - Limit Frame rate
+
+Some Discovery players need limiting their frame rate.
+You can do it by inserting desired framerate into Env variables of application `DXVK_FRAME_RATE=150` for example
+
+
+
+You can validate it works, by also injecting env var `DXVK_HUD=devinfo,fps,api` to see FPS in real time

The guide is updated. Clarified importance of using Lutris 0.5.16 version today. apparently 0.5.17 is not okay and requiring changes to other dependencies. Do use Lutris 0.5.16

+Check your OS and install Lutris accordingly. IT IS IMPORTANT TO INSTALL `0.5.16` version exactly.
+Another person `Amba` tried using 0.5.17 and it did not work because of issues to use Proton version we use later.
+So use exatly the mentioned version and make sure you have created clean Wine Prefix later and not reusing it from other versions.
- Since we used Kubuntu, we downloaded [deb package](<https://github.com/lutris/lutris/releases/tag/v0.5.16>) for it
- and used `sudo apt install ./lutris_0.5.16_all.deb` for its installation

-We installed Lutris `0.5.16` at the moment of last attempt.
+Verify that u installed Lutris `0.5.16` in Lutris About. `lutris --version` for CLI.
+If we will use newer Lutris version, the guide will be updated.
