Step 1: Install the game via Lutris
(Use steam if you bought it via steam)
- Click the
+sign, searchBlack Desertand install the first one - Choose the installation path (default is fine)
- Do not create any shortcuts during any point of the installation
- Do not run BDO after installation
Step 2: Add the game to your steam library
Why? Because via Lutris’ wine version the camera doesn’t work properly
- On steam go to
Games > Add non-steam gameon the top right - Find the BlackDesertLauncher.exe in the instalaltion path. Should be
/install/path/drive_c/PearlAbyss/BlackDesert/BlackDesertLauncher.exe - Right click the game on your library and go to
properties > force compatibility layer > proton experimental
Step 3: Run the game via Steam
If at first it doesn’t run just close it and open it again. The Black Spirit’s Adventure, the Adventurer’s board, and the guild daily message doesn’t display properly (you can still use them however if you remember the buttons by memory), everything else works perfectly fine.
Note: if you have it, SELinux tries to block it, you can dismiss the reports and it should work fine, otherwise you may need to set policies or disable SELinux. I will look into this further

You can have lutris use proton rather than the lutris wine version though? It’s how I run battle.net on lutris.
If i take the default wine it gives me a load of **** with missing fonts and other errors. Running it with proton 8.0 just makes it work.
Yeah but I found it doesn’t work properly on lutris sometimes compared to just running it through steam with Proton experimental. Don’t know why that is though.
Ah, I don’t think I’ve had that, but your YMMV I guess. Gaming on Linux has been pretty good to me since I started.
I’ll give this a shot if it starts acting up though!
