Running on Linux (Wine)
Hedge Mod Manager wasn't designed to run on Linux, due to using WPF and targeting Windows games. However, using SteamTinkerLaunch will allow you to get Hedge Mod Manager running under Linux. Currently, Hedge Mod Manager support is only available in SteamTinkerLaunch git.
Linux Gaming Central did a writeup on getting Hedge Mod Manager up and running with SteamTinkerLaunch over on their blog: https://linuxgamingcentral.com/posts/sonic-frontiers-modding-guide/
On Linux Desktop this requires Winetricks 20220411-next or higher. You can check your Winetricks version with winetricks --version, and update if necessary with sudo winetricks --self-update.
On Steam Deck, no extra steps should be required. SteamTinkerLaunch will download and install Winetricks for you for any application that needs it, including Hedge Mod Manager.
After setting Hedge Mod Manager up through SteamTinkerLaunch, your mods should be up and running! SteamTinkerLaunch will automatically install the needed tweaks to get your games working, including the required dotnet48 for all supported 64bit games. Currently, SteamTinkerLaunch will automatically configure the following mods:
-
Sonic Generations
- Direct3D 11 mod
- No other known per-mod tweaks required at the moment
If you find a mod that requires a certain set of steps to get working correctly (i.e., a specific Winetrick that it needs), please report it to SteamTinkerLaunch.
SteamTinkerLaunch will also set up an Application Menu shortcut so you can launch Hedge Mod Manager without using the command line at all. GameBanana's 1-click Mod Manager button should also be supported.
