Very simple Linux tutorial (Proton) #225

As some of you may know, the installer works fine nowadays on Linux and does everything it's supposed to, but the game won't inject the MSCLoader code. The old tutorial is overcomplicated and outdated. So I think it's worth breaking it down for fellow MSC fans moving away from Windows:

Install Wine (obvious, I guess, but just in case).
Install Winetricks.
Install Protontricks.
Install vanilla MSC and run it at least once with Proton Experimental or at least Proton 9. IT WILL RUN.
Run the MSCLoader installer from Steam as a "non-Steam game" or using Protontricks with MSC prefix. By all means, it should detect the folders and work as intended.
Add WINEDLLOVERRIDES="winhttp=n,b" %command% to Steam launch options for MSC.
It should be good to go. Install mods and enjoy.

EDIT: if by some bizarre chance you don't have a "winhttp" module installed in Wine and Proton, install it (Winetricks, Protontricks) and enable with winecfg.

Figured it out
YOU MUST TRY THIS ON X11, IT WILL NOT WORK ON HYPRLAND

What version are you working on, my attempts so far have resulted in the following, im using arch linux with ML4W, that has hyprland running on wayland
Proton experimental, versions 1.3.1, and 1.2.14

What version are you working on, my attempts so far have resulted in the following, im using arch linux with ML4W, that has hyprland running on wayland

Arch with Plasma X11, but I don't believe it has anything to do with it. One more thing I forgot to mention is that winhttp component must be installed in Protontricks/Winetricks. It usually is by default with most versions.

RdrSeraphim Apr 12, 2026

Not to gravedig, but this can be worked around in terminal by passing env GDK_BACKEND=x11 to something like protontricks-launch.

For my example, it was:
env GDK_BACKEND=x11 flatpak run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=protontricks-launch --file-forwarding com.github.Matoking.protontricks --appid 516750 Downloads/Mods/MSC/MSCLoader_msc-147-1-4-1-1770318235/MSCLInstaller.exe

I had a weird issue where the installer would show up as a black window and pop up infinite error windows when I tried running its executable through Protontricks, but I was able to use native wine to run and install the mod loader.

I don't know if there's some weird bug with Proton and WPF, maybe some random dependency is broken by a newer version since I'm on Arch Linux, it's entirely possible some random thing went wrong.

In any case, I hope it helps someone else, here's what I used to run the installer outside of Proton:

cd Downloads/MSCLoader
mkdir pfx
WINEPREFIX="$PWD/pfx" WINEARCH=win64 WINEDEBUG=-all wine MSCLInstaller.exe

Again, if I used the game's own Proton instance to run the installer, I'd get the odd behavior, regular Wine was fine.
After all that MSCLoader seems to be working fine in-game, I'm using GE-Proton10-15, but it probably works fine on the default Proton too, since the game worked fine before installing MSCLoader and changing compatibility tools.

Other than that, I did try the experimental Linux version but it absolutely did not work for me, not even launching. The output log didn't seem to show anything useful at all, so I chose to just stick to the Windows version.

Seems to just immediately crash when launching. Right after it is done loading MSCLoader or whatever, it runs into the menu and dies.

nevermind, working without the fix applied too?? the fuck

eepymeowers Oct 14, 2025

i did copy some stuff from the game's plugins folder to Mono, in particular the stuff it was complaining about, but i don't think that was the fix

Nice pirated game

it's not pirated, I have it legitimately on Steam. I tried using the Goldberg steamapi DLLs to make it so I could have MSC, portable, on any of my computers without having the Mikropekka virus happen.
I can show proof that I own it on Steam, if you want, but I just want to be able to archive my games and play them without relying on Steam.

also, notice my latest comment on this discussion - it should show to you that I have it legitimately :)

If y'all are having the crashing on menu issue trying this, I found a fix!!
Copy libCSteamworks.so from My Summer Car/mysummercar_Data/Plugins/x86_64/ to /Mono/x86_64/ and copy CSteamworks.dll from Plugins to Mono/x86_64 and Mono.
That's what fixed it for me, good luck!

Hi, this fixed the issue using Proton after the linux guide, but the native versions still don't work, how do I install MSCLoader? does #225 work?

exvh Nov 13, 2025

This worked for me, Thank you!

Big thanks to you. This method works on Linux Fedora KDE Plasma and for My Winter Car too. Messed around for about 2 hours trying to get MSCLoader to work, but thankfully stumbled upon your tutorial, which resolved my problem in a moment.

Hey, thanks for the guide, it worked great, however i cant for the life of my make mscloader see the mods. they are in the exact folder it specifies, yet they dont show up in mscloader. How would i fix this? Im on fedora kde, and installed mscloader using protontricks if that helps.

Are you sure you install mscloader mods and not the AI generated crap from bepinex/melon?

Kroooza Jan 12, 2026

Yes, the mods are attach spare tire, triangle, and jack as well as rail road crossing and lights on switches. All from nexusmods and all worked on windows.

Well make sure you put them in path that is listed in top-left corner in main menu, could be different path.

Kroooza Jan 13, 2026

This is the file path it specifies:

Z drive is not real, however it is a copy of /home/User/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/My Summer Car/Mods/

As a test if i delete the mscloader files in that mods folder mscloader throws fatal errors. i have put mods in that folder, didnt work, i checked the mirrored folder in the z drive, and the mods are in there too. Doesn't work.

Here is the folder in the z drive

Kroooza Jan 13, 2026

Wait... I might be incredibly stupid... I'm supposed to extract those mods aren't i?
Yep... works great now. that's embarrassing...
Thanks for your help and sorry for the stupid question.
