Running VRCX on Linux

For our Linux builds we use Electron because it has a natively supported browser, unlike our Cef builds for Windows.

• Download latest AppImage from Releases or Beta/Nightly version available here.
• Install Dotnet runtime from your package manager e.g.
  • arch sudo pacman -S dotnet-runtime
  • ubuntu sudo apt install dotnet-runtime-8.0
  • other Install .NET on Linux
• AppImage will automatically be moved to ~/Applications/ if this is undesirable for whatever reason running with the launch arg --no-install will disable this behavior.
• Additional community provided information here.
• For support we have a Linux support channel on our Discord.

Guide made by RinLovesYou

• Download latest GitHub action Artifact zip for the Linux branch from here

• Installing Wine

  • Arch Linux: Wine can be installed by enabling the multilib repository and running sudo pacman -S wine

  • Ubuntu: Please refer to the wiki

• Winetricks Magic

  After v2023.12.24 (.NET 8.0) Wine 9.0-rc1 or later is now required.

  • Start over with a clean wine prefix. Either create one for VRCX or rm -rf ~/.wine and use the main prefix.

  • Ensure you are NOT using DXVK either within your prefix or for your VRCX.exe. VRCX requires WineD3D to operate.

  • winetricks --force -q corefonts Silent and easy automation of the process of installing dependencies.

  • wine winecfg -v win10 Set your prefix windows version.

  • You will require the VRCX Linux branch as CEF newer than 104.4.240 is currently incompatible with wine staging 8.4 as of this moment.

  • Download vrcx.zip It can be found in the Actions tab under the Linux branch. Download and extract the VRCX artifact.

  • You should just be able to run wine VRCX.exe now. Should you get an error about CEFSharp, you can try wine VRCX.exe -no-cef-sandbox

• Notes

  • VRCX on Linux is known to have a nasty memory leak so keep an eye on memory usage or restart it frequently.

  • If you have a laptop that uses hardware muxing with an Intel iGPU you'll need to set your graphics device in nvidia-settings to only the NVIDIA GPU.
