I know this is a long shot because the last update was a long time ago but there appears to be a problem. Running the windows version in wine fails to ever draw the window. Running the Linux version from here draws a window frame but it's completely empty and grey. Cloned from github and compiled it myself but this lead to the same result as downloading the one here. I do have webkit2gtk and any other dependencies I can think of installed. Not sure what the issue could be. I'll paste the terminal output of the program here.

I'm aware that a save file can be supplied with an argument so I supplied a me2 save filename as an argument but same result. Also tried it with quotes around the name but same result.
Just returning to report that I actually got it working thanks to this random github page I found https://github.com/tauri-apps/wry/issues/1366 which then linked to this page https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri/issues/10702 which suggests that we set a certain program variable. Running the native linux editor with `WEBKIT_DISABLE_DMABUF_RENDERER=1 ./trilogy-save-editor` fixed the problem for me.
I came to comment to ask the exact same thing. I was looking for the Trilogy Save Editor just for my Steam Deck. I have the unzipped file in Desktop mode but stuck on what I'm supposed to do next since I'm a Linux noob.
same thing - I ran sudo pacman -S webkit2gtk then it said it couldn't because I hadn't run sudo pacman-key --initafter that was complete, I tried to rerun -S webkit2gtk but then I get errors from corrupted files
I found a different reddit post that helped me figure out what I was missing.
• Switch to Desktop Mode • Launch Konsole • Set up the root password for the Deck using the command: passwd • Disable read only mode using the command: sudo btrfs property set -ts / ro false • Initialize your pacman ring with the command: sudo pacman-key --init • Populate the keyring with the default archlinux keys with the command: sudo pacman-key --populate archlinux
After that, I was able to run everything just as you said: sudo pacman -S webkit2gtk then I went straight to the unzipped file, right clicked on it and selected Run in Konsole.
Hey, I went through all these steps but when I write: ./trilogy-save-editorinto the Konsole app it says no such file found. What to do? I downloaded the file from here. I dont understand how to launch the Trilogy Save editor.
Disable the read-only mode:Open a terminal (Konsole) and enter: sudo steamos-readonly disable
Initialize Pacman keyring: sudo pacman-key --init
Modify Pacman configuration: Open the file /etc/pacman.conf with a text editor(kate) Under the [options] section, add the following line: SigLevel = TrustAll
Install webkit2gtk: Back in the terminal, run sudo pacman -S webkit2gtk
Revert the configuration change: Open the /etc/pacman.conf file again and remove the line to restore the default settings.SigLevel = TrustAll
Hello! I’m new to Linux and have no idea how to open this program on the Steam Deck. I’m used to .exe files just opening in windows so all of these files seem far too complicated to me. I’ve tried looking it up on YouTube and am none the wiser. Can anybody help?
How you were able to compile it? I tried on debian sid but I am using a different rust version, there is a ticket for the steam deck https://github.com/KarlitosVII/trilogy-save-editor/issues/57 and getting some info how you were able to compile can be helpful (as it is required a different set of commands).
That's nice. I'd try it too but to be honest I don't seem to be able to make the mouse feel like Windows, so I feel aiming and such would be quite difficult.
I'm a newb on Linux but so far every distro I've ever tried makes the mouse feel pretty strange comparatively. Harder to be accurate. Linux does weird things. I only use it for work stuff so far. If you have any tips on that feel free to share, I'd be interested in trying.
Ah, no. Always stuck with GNOME so far. I'm using Zorin so I don't know if I can switch the desktop, because it uses its own thing,, which I think it's a derivative of GNOME, but I'll consider if later on I use a different distro, thanks for the suggestion
if you use wined3d you can run the mod manager. thar fixes the flickering black screen. got all my mods imported and installing my textures right now on my deck. using steam tinker launch to use the mod manager in meles prefix, with the launch only custom command ticked
It works fine if you run it with wined3d. i used steam tinker launch with proton use wined3d ticked, and me3tweaks mod manager in MELEs prefix as an stl custom commamd, with launch only custom command ticked

other users are reporting missing library issues, which I am investigating. you may need to run this as well:
sudo pacman -S webkit2gtk
sudo pacman -S webkit2gtk
then it said it couldn't because I hadn't runsudo pacman-key --init
after that was complete, I tried to rerun -S webkit2gtk but then I get errors from corrupted files• Switch to Desktop Mode

I've decided to include the webkit2gtk library in the next release, so hopefully this won't be necessary once that is done.
./trilogy-save-editor
into the Konsole app it says no such file found. What to do? I downloaded the file from here. I dont understand how to launch the Trilogy Save editor.error while loading shared libraries: lib
wpe-1.0.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
sudo steamos-readonly disable
sudo pacman-key --init
SigLevel = TrustAll
sudo pacman -S webkit2gtk
SigLevel = TrustAll
sudo steamos-readonly enable
Now, the webkit2gtk package should be installed successfully, and your system should be back in its original state.
The save editor should work.

Has a gold rating on protondb. The comments offer some great tips to get it to run.
And if you have the patience and the time, plus a MicroSD to increase storage, you can even install all your mods on the Deck too.
