Outerplane sur Linux

Par Daystars · Mis à jour 25 sept. 2026
Important: This is an unofficial community guide, not endorsed or supported by the Outerplane team. The game does not officially support Linux, and the team is unable to provide any assistance for issues encountered in this environment. Users proceed at their own risk — the team reserves the right to take action if problems arise. For the officially supported PC experience, use Steam (Windows) or Google Play Games.

Outerplane on Linux

Outerplane is on Steam for Windows: on Linux, Steam + Proton runs it directly. Waydroid Android emulation remains as a fallback, with all 2026 fixes for translation, Google cert, network sync, and anti-cheat.

Via Steam (Proton) — recommended

Outerplane is available on Steam for Windows. Steam's Proton compatibility layer runs it on Linux, with no Android emulation needed. Tested on Fedora 44, on a laptop with an Intel UHD iGPU and a GeForce RTX 4060 Max-Q running the proprietary NVIDIA driver (615 series).

1Install Steam

Install Steam from your distribution, or from Flathub:

Fedora (RPM Fusion nonfree):

sudo dnf install steam

Any distro (Flatpak):

flatpak install flathub com.valvesoftware.Steam

The test used the RPM package (the same steam package is shipped by RPM Fusion nonfree and by the Terra repository). The Flatpak should behave the same, but it was not the tested path.

2Enable Proton for all titles

In Steam, open Settings → Compatibility, turn on Enable Steam Play for all other titles, pick a Proton version, then restart Steam.

Proton version: Proton Experimental, selected here as the global default. No other Proton build was installed or needed.

3Install Outerplane

Search for OUTERPLANE in the Steam store (free to play), add it to your library, then install it.

No per-game setting is needed: leave Properties → Compatibility → Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool unchecked, the global Proton Experimental from step 2 applies.

4Launch

Press Play.

Launch options (Properties → General): none needed, leave the field empty.

Known pitfalls: none on the test machine. The first launch is slower than the following ones while Proton creates its prefix and Steam compiles shaders; that is normal. If you plan to use community mods, they are Windows DLLs that need the launch option WINEDLLOVERRIDES="winhttp=n,b" %command% to load under Proton, but the plain game does not.

Fallback: Android emulation (Waydroid)

Only if Steam + Proton does not work on your setup: run the Android version in Waydroid.

1Prerequisites

  • Wayland compositor — GNOME / Plasma 6 / Sway
  • X11: run a nested Wayland session via cage
  • Kernel modules: binder_linux + ashmem_linux (via linux-zen or waydroid-dkms)

2Install Waydroid

Arch / Manjaro:

sudo pacman -S waydroid lzip python-pip sqlite3 git --needed

Ubuntu / Debian:

sudo apt install curl ca-certificates -y
curl -s https://repo.waydro.id | sudo bash
sudo apt install waydroid -y

Fedora:

sudo dnf install waydroid

See Waydroid docs for other distros.

3Init with GAPPS

sudo waydroid init -s GAPPS
sudo systemctl enable --now waydroid-container

4Translation Layer Setup

git clone https://github.com/casualsnek/waydroid_script
cd waydroid_script && python3 -m venv venv
venv/bin/pip install -r requirements.txt

Install libndk (2026 Standard):

sudo venv/bin/python3 main.py install libndk

5Google Certification Fix

Get your Android ID:

sudo waydroid shell -- sh -c "sqlite3 /data/data/com.google.android.gsf/databases/gservices.db \
  'select value from main where name=\"android_id\";'"

Register at google.com/android/uncertified

Wait 20 min to 24 hours for certification to propagate.

6Network Sync Fix (2026 "Ack Patch")

sudo waydroid shell <<EOF
ip link set eth0 mtu 1400
setprop persist.waydroid.fake_wifi '*'
settings put global private_dns_mode off
exit
EOF

7GPU Passthrough

waydroid prop set ro.hardware.egl mesa
waydroid prop set ro.hardware.gralloc gbm

8Anti-Cheat (Magisk)

sudo venv/bin/python3 main.py install magisk

Then in Magisk:

  • Enable Zygisk
  • Add Outerplane to DenyList

92026 Splash-Screen Bypass

Only applies if using libhoudini as translation layer (some distros do not support libndk).

If stuck on the icon:

  1. Set system date to Oct 2025
  2. Launch the game
  3. After "Tap to Start," restore the correct date

10Play Store / Final Launch Fix

sudo waydroid shell rm -rf /data/data/com.android.vending
waydroid session stop
waydroid show-full-ui

Troubleshooting: Black Screen

High CPU (25%+)

Reinstall libndk translation layer.

NVIDIA GPU

waydroid prop set ro.hardware.egl swiftshader
