Download Steam To Linux ((NEW))
Natalia Tagami
So today i tried to install steam and after that KSP. When i opened KSP it got stuck to downloading screen, but the great thing is that i found solution which worked and now game runs smoothly. (Ubuntu 16.10)
1. In steam go to KSP properties (by right clicking KSP in steam library)--> Local files --> Browse local files (or you can go to KSP files with terminal also but this is easier)
2. Okay when your file manager opened, right click --> Open in terminal
3. run command: LC_ALL=C ./KSP.x86_64
4. KSP works
Only bad thing about this is you have to do that everytime you want to open KSP
Also i got problem with screensize and i couldn't see like 50pixels down... (i used gnome desktop)
But i found solution to it also.
I'm aware that SteamCMD is probably geared towards people that run game servers but I thought I would try using it as a more practical way to back up the linux versions of my games without the hassle (and hard drive space) of a linux virtual machine.
After it's downloaded there will be a file called appmanifest_#.acf (where # is the appid for the app/game) in the steamapps folder where the app is installed, and the app data will be in steamapps/common, usually in a folder with a name similar to the app.

Hey, you can generate the steamclient.so file (for 64 bit) through the following command. This command is run in the windows terminal. You will need to download the steamcmd to your windows machine.
Steam has proven, conclusively, that it does not have to be this way. EA Play on Steam *could* have made playing EA games on linux a pleasant, no-hassle experience. Pretty much literally download and play. But no, I now have to install Origin PER GAME *on Steam* and it's pure luck whether or not the game itself actually launches. So far, my list of EA Play games that do work on linux via steam is: Dead Space 3.
You almost certainly have a load of linux users waiting to give you their money, and they can't because your Origin front end doesn't work. It is legendarily garbage. Please, please, fit it or remove it. Let linux users give you their money.
- After launching steam and logging in, install your EA Play game from within Windows Steam, and launch it from Steam while having PoS running. It should just start normally, unless there are compatibility problems with the game itself (remember that we are talking about EA games here...)
the reasoning being that if you're using a steam-supported Linux config, LD_LIBRARY_PATHs are supposed to be a last-resort setting for any app (especially commercial ones). If it messes with other libraries/apps, it's their bug.
