(Error) OpenJK not loading from steam

[Aphex]

Hey everyone,

I just installed Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast from Steam and turned on Proton as I'm running Linux Mint 22.1, I followed the install instructions as stated here: https://jkhub.org/tutorials/errors-problems/installing-openjk-or-other-clients-on-windows-mac-or-linux-r83/

However, when I try to start the single player .exe, I get an error

Application load error 5:0000065434

From what I understand, this is an error that can be fixed by moving the Steam app into the install dir of the game, however as I'm on Linux I don't think that will help me.

 

Does anyone here have any advise?

Installing via Proton is how you get the assets, but are you running OpenJO to actually launch the game?

Yeah via steam. I added the OpenJO .exe as a non steam game and turned on proton to run it.

Why not run the native Linux version? Proton only works with verified games and running a non verified .exe is probably why its giving an error. Linux OpenJO is here:

That would probably make more sense lol! Thank you Circa. This works fine now and I installed the new in-game menu for widescreen support.
