What are our options for mods in Linux? I’m currently playing cyberpunk, which has thousands of available mods but no easy way to install loads in one go.

Vortex through lutris doesn’t seem to work at all and MO2 doesn’t support cyberpunk as far as I know.

Are there any other mod managers I can use? The only decent alternative I have is a windows VM, mod the game then move it to my host then play, but updates would be a nightmare. Either that or just play in the VM.

Have you tried running cyberpunk and vortex through bottles? I’ve had some success with it where some games just fail with lutris.

Ive heard good about this tool: https://github.com/sonic2kk/steamtinkerlaunch to let you use vortex on Linux and mod CP2077

edit: I’m going to try it next week. I wanted to play modded fallout and tried a different script to make MO2 open when you launch fallout but this looks better.

I tried this but couldn’t see a vortex option

Edit: turns out I had to scroll down… the window came up really small and only shows half the settings. Trying it with a few mods now.

Good to know! Let me know how it goes.

It does work, but buggy though. For now, I’ve opted to using the VM with a gpu passed through so I can easily install collections.

Once I have the game the way I want it, I might move it over and see if I can get it running on my host OS, and import the vortex config to keep my mods up to date.
