Linux compatibility for Space Engineers (version 1)

This plugin contains the compatibility patches required to run the Game on Linux. This plugin is applied automatically by Pulsar for Linux right after the se-dotnet-compat plugin.

Prerequisites

• Steam for Linux
• Space Engineers installed by Steam for Linux (standard installation for Proton)

Installation

Download the Native or the Flatpak build from Releases, install and run it. Please read the release notes to decide which one is the best for your situation.

Features

• With the plugin, the game will run natively on Linux and does not use Proton/Wine at all.
• The game's window (in windowed mode) can be resized freely and is compatible with display scaling.
• Runs on both X11 and Wayland (requires XWayland for X11 compatibility).
• Fonts and icons are sharper than on Windows.
