  11     So,  after wasting countless hours unsuccessfully seeking for a
  12     way  to  execute  Lutris  Wine games with a Steam Overlay (as I
  13     was  able  to  do  with  PlayOnLinux runners a long time ago) I
  14     finally  got  it  working  today  after  finding [1]this post .
  15     Following  is  the  procedure  using  Overwatch  as  an example
  16     (assuming you have it already installed through Lutris).
  17
  18     First  run  lutris  -d  lutris:rungame/overwatch in a terminal,
  19     then  exit  the  game asap and check the log trail. You'll need
  20     retrieve  a  log  like this (note this is only a partial stub):

 176     Save      this     file     wherever     you     like     (e.g.
 177     /home/qchto/games/launchers/overwatch.sh  ),  give it execution
 178     permission              (e.g.              chmod             +x
 179     /home/qchto/games/launchers/overwatch.sh  ).  Now you should be
 180     able    to   execute   it   in   order   to   test   it   (e.g.
 181     ./home/qchto/games/launchers/overwatch.sh ).
 182
 183     Finally,  open  Steam,  add  this  script  as  a non-steam game
 184     shortcut  (make sure to select "All files" in the file selector
 185     for  the  .sh  files  to  appear),  and  it's done. You can now
 186     execute  this  shortcut  and get the Steam Overlay (even in Big
 187     Picture  with  Steam  Controller  custom  controller  mappings)
 188     working and ready to go.
 189
 190     As  mentioned,  this  procedure  should also work for any other
 191     Lutris  Wine  game  (although  be  warned  that  some  specific
 192     problems  may  arise  depending  on wine configuration). I have
 193     personally  tested  it  not  only  with Overwatch but also with
 194     StarCraft II and it work perfectly on both.
 195
 196     Hope you find this helpful!

 207      ** qchto
 208         Thanks. It's just that figuring out this took me far longer
 209         that I expected it would, so if someone is looking into
 210         achieving this luckily he/she will be able to just find this
 211         post, so imo any effort put is worth to be reported.
 212
 213
 214   ** UrbanFlash
 215      Maybe i'm missing something, but i don't see the advantage over
 216      just adding the launcher Lutris creates as non-Steam game. Works
 217      well enough with Heroes of the Storm here...
 218
 219      ** qchto
 220         For once, the autogenerated launchers does not save
 221         environmental variables, so for games like Overwatch that
 222         require them (for things like DXVK) it doesn't even launch
 223         the game. And just to clear things up, using a .sh script
 224         with lutris lutris:rungame/overwatch makes the app not report
 225         properly for the Steam overlay to be recognized.
 226         So by this method you're ensuring you're running the same
 227         wine environment launched by Lutris without depending on it
 228         to manage the process, therefore allowing for the Steam
 229         overlay to properly load.
 230
 231         ** UrbanFlash
 232            DKVK works fine for me. I notice no difference between
 233            launching the game from within Lutris, via the launcher in
 234            the menu or via the link in Steam.
 235
 236            ** qchto
 237               Do you have DXVK installed at system level? Having its
 238               variables exported to your session? Because after
 239               checking a couple .desktop files generated by Lutris
 240               (which tbh I was not even aware were created, as i3
 241               makes a desktop seems redundant) I still don't see any
 242               declaration other than the WINE prefix, and none of
 243               them even launch the application they refer (tested for
 244               Overwatch and Battle.net automatically generated
 245               launchers).
 246
 247               ** UrbanFlash
 248                  I don't have DXVK installed outside of Lutris and
 249                  have done nothing apart from the things necessary to
 250                  get the Blizzard app running.

 256   ** shmerl
 257      Better figure out how to do it without Steam. That's the right
 258      method.
 259
 260      ** qchto
 261         While I agree, to provide some background on why I went this
 262         route:
 263
 264         I spent a lot of time trying to configure sc-controller to
 265         emulate a xbox-controller with gyro controlled right stick
 266         but it simply wouldn't allow for a duplicated RStick binding
 267         for the Steam Controller in both the right touchpad and the
 268         gyro (unlike Steam Overlay that does).
 269
 270         Even when I gave up on this and finally tried to test
 271         sc-controller in-game for Overwatch, it kept showing an
 272         erratic behavior with the game loaded (still not sure why,
 273         but when I tried to use the SC left tocuhpad it randomly
 274         started sending other outputs that made the game unplayable
 275         with it).
 276
 277         The Steam Overlay provide much more that just the ability to
 278         use the Steam Controller with decent xinput bindings, but
 279         also other features like ease to control the game with only a
 280         controller (for example allowing to exit the game if
 281         soft-locked without having to use kb&m), change the
 282         Controller configuration on the fly more easily (without
 283         depending on kb&m) and even have a more streamlined
 284         experience by using features like the Steam Chord button and
 285         Steam enabled screenshots, for example.
 286         So it's not that I didn't tried to not use Steam..
 287
 288         ** shmerl
 289            Yeah, I agree sc-controller can still benefit from some
 290            improvements. It's still not using upstream kernel driver
 291            for instance.
 292
 293            ** qchto
 294               Gotta admit though, it's great to have alternatives
 295               available.
 296
 297               ** shmerl
 298                  For sure, especially for those who aren't using
 299                  Steam to begin with.

 305   ** Brunfunstudios
 306      Nice work. Would be kinda nice to have a right click option just
 307      saying add_to_Steam and this being handled in the background. :)
 308      Just an idea
 309
 310   ** Razdiel
 311      Since you gave it a try why not post benchmarks or general
 312      feedback about it? was it worth it running it with proton?
 313      GJ btw the linux comunity salutes you brave soldier!
