I've heard it might be a matter of setting up the LE to use the same Proton prefix, but I've no idea what that means or needs. Pointers needed, thanks - I'm usually able to get anything Windows working on Zorin. Thanks, David
FMLE is Windows-only and isn't tested on Linux/Proton setups, so I can't officially support that scenario.
To make it work, FMLE would need to run inside the same Proton prefix as FM26 so it can access the game's memory. But that's a Linux-side configuration on your end, not something I can guide you through.
A heads-up for next time: FMLE is free to download and try out before buying a license, so you can verify compatibility on your setup before purchasing.
Yeah, wish I'd done that now...
I managed to install and play FM 26 on Ubuntu; I installed the Steam snap and the game runs fine, always using the Proton fix.
If anyone is looking for a way to do this
If you have fm 26 on steam you can do the following things.
1. Run the installer of the editor by adding it to steam as a non steam game
it should install the editor unter something like /home/<username>/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/FM26 Live Editor/
2. now go to your steam and open the properties of fm26. In the launch option add the following
(sleep 15 && protontricks -c 'wine "/home/<username>/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/FM26 Live Editor/fmle26.exe"' 3551340) & %command%
of course replace the username with your actual username.
This will start fm26 and after a bit of time (sleep 15) it will start the editor you can than use it.
I only tested it with the free version .. so i don't know if it actually saves anything. But it connects to fm26 and works in general.
