zoom-platform.sh is a helpful tool to streamline installation, updating, and playing Windows games from ZOOM Platform on Linux using umu and Proton.

The script also helps you run our Windows installers on Linux and comes with some handy features to make sure the process goes smoothly.

That includes safety checks, handling updates, installing DLCs, creating desktop entries, a simple uninstaller, and of course automatically applying protonfixes.

The umu-protonfixes database contains user submitted protonfixes, even for games not fully supported by Steam.

What is UMU/OWC?

Here is how the Open Wine Components group describes the project:

We're a group of people who work on wine-oriented projects that decided to get together to unify our ideas for the benefit of each other's projects across the board, as well as future projects that may use what we provide. The original goal with our main project UMU is to have a unified standard for running games with proton outside of steam as well as a collective shared database of known game fixes that everyone can use and contribute to.

I thought Proton was a Steam thing, does Steam need to be installed?

Noooope, to keep things short; OWC forked parts of the Steam Linux Runtime and Proton to make them work without Steam.

Do all games on ZOOM Platform work with this?

We tested our most popular games, and we submitted our own fixes for many of them; some work out of the box, and some may not work at all.

Your mileage may vary, but feel free to submit any fixes to umu-protonfixes.

Where can I submit my own fixes to help make games work?

If you're the tinkerer type, the umu-protonfixes repo is open for anyone to contribute to. Check out their project and look at existing fixes for some examples. Any fixes submitted will help people run that particular game in the future.

Can I launch installed games through Steam?

Depending on your distro, either use the "Add a Non-Steam Game..." option in Steam then select a game from the list, or right-click the desktop entry then click "Add to Steam".
