![]() I tested experimental and 6.3-8, they seem to work the same. Go to "compatibility" (left hand side of the pop up window) click "force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool" and then select a proton version. Also, rename the shortcut to "EV Original" or something or else once you add the others you will end up with 3 "EV Nova.exe" entries without an easy way to tell them apart. For example, "target" will be the path to EV Nova.exe (something like "/home/user/whereyouputit/Escape Velocity (Port)/EV Nova.exe" dependent on what you named it) and the "start in" should just be the folder where it is ("/home/user/whereyouputit/Escape Velocity (Port)/") If there are any spaces the "" is very necessary. Fix them and remove any text from "launch options". The paths are likely messed up due to spaces. In your steam library, click on EV Nova.exe, and on the right hand side near the middle click the settings gear, then "properties" Select the "EV Nova.exe" in the escape velocity folder. You will need to select "file type: all files" instead of "applications (*.desktop). Go into the folder for the original escape velocity game. At the bottom left click "Add a game" then "add a non-steam game" and then "browse". Whoever put these files together did not update the documentation properly. You also don't need to run the "Register EV Nova.exe" file in the Nova folder- this seems to have also already been done. They will tell you you need to convert plugins from Mac format to Windows but this has already been done. ![]() Ignore the documentation readmes for the original and override ports. ![]() Check that all three folders have icond.dll in them and the override and original game have sillycon.ttf in them, especially if you use a different download than the one I linked. Then download and unpack "Escape Velocity Nova". Unpack and rename them so it's obvious which is which. Download "Nova Port (Windows)" under both Escape Velocity and Escape Velocity Override. There are quite a few download links out there for EV Nova that don't include the required DLL iconv.dll. You'll need Steam for Linux installed for this. We're going to be installing Escape Velocity Nova for Windows on Linux via Proton along with the ports of the the original and Override for the Nova Engine. I've seen other people mention getting it working via Steam/Proton but couldn't find a solid straightforward guide for doing so and it took me a while to figure out, so I'll describe the process in detail here.
