How do I get NBA 2K22 mods on Linux?

Postby nba2k22mods on Wed Apr 06, 2022 9:56 am

Hey all, I've searched far and wide across the internet to no avail. How do I install mods on Arch Linux? I have 2k22 on Steam, more specifically the Steam Deck, and I want mods really bad. How can i get it on arch linux for steam deck? Thank you

NBA 2K22 Hook only works on Windows 8,10 and 11 I guess. Here´s a tutorial on how to install Windows on Steam Deck: https://www.tomshardware.com/how-to/ins ... steam-deck

I use Linux. NBA 2K22 Hook works great on linux out of the box. Mods are loaded without problems.

Download the hook, unpack it into the game folder. If it doesn't work right away, then you need to add "dinput8.dll " in the wine settings. If you play through steam, then you need https://github.com/Matoking/protontricks . Install it, then enter the command "protontricks --gui" in the terminal. Choose a game, the next menu is just OK, the next choice is "winecfg", here is the "Libraries" tab, in the first field you choose "dinput8.dll " click add and apply. Everything is ready, you can close all these menus and start the game, it should work.

I have a discord, but I don't speak English)) I use a translator. Do you use pure archlinux, or steam os? I use pure archlinux, and I know how it is done here, and on most other distributions. But I don't know much about the steam deck, and how much arch's capabilities are available there.

So I have a steam deck which uses steam os natively, but there's also an option for ArchLinux. I want to mod the game and be able to use it through Steam os and add all the usual 2k mods.

I think that I'd have to get the mods for nba 2k22 on archlinux, and it would then work on Steam os since it's connected. I can go on Archlinux and dig through the files to add mods and launch it on there. I just don't know how to do that lol.

Is the terminal available to you? "konsole" is standard for kde, try to enter the command "sudo pacman -S protontricks" in it. Or look for "protontricks" in the application center.

Yeah so i actually went to discover and downloaded something called protontricks, which is "a simple wrapper that does winetricks things for proton enabled games". does that sound like something that could help me?

im looking now and it seems rather nice, it's asking me if i want to install an application, install a benchmark, install a game, select the default wineprefix, create new wineprefix, or enable silent install.

does any of that seem familiar?

Select the default wineprefix. Then "winecfg", in the window that opens go to the "libraries" tab, in the "new override" field select "dinput8.dll " and click add, then apply and you can close all windows and check if mods work.

Mods are thrown into the mods folder, in the game folder. The one that was in the archive with the hook. I'm glad that everything worked out.

.rar archives can be opened with WinRAR or 7-Zip.

You should already have the archiver "Ark" installed, it can work with all popular archives. Just open the archive with the mod and drop all files and folders (if any) into the mods folder.

I just wanted to come and say this worked like a charm for me. The only real issue I've had is getting 2KTools working. It literally just doesn't see the game. Has anyone else got it working with Linux?
