Installation

  1. Install the mono-complete package (official guide)
  2. Download the latest version of DGR and extract the ZIP file

Playing

  • Make sure Steam is running
  • Run the game with ./DuckGame.sh from within the extracted folder

If you get bash: ./DuckGame.sh: Permission denied, run chmod +x DuckGame.sh

(Optional) Fixing the Steam Overlay and Steam Launch feature

Steam still thinks that Duck Game is a windows-only game that needs to be run through proton on linux. To get it to launch Duck Game natively will take a bit of a workaround.

  • Go to your steam Duck Game folder and delete the contents. Copy the contents of DGR in place of it.
  • Download this file (click the "download file" button in the upper right), copy it to your Duck Game directory, and make it executable with chmod +x UseMonoNotProton
  • Now set your steam launch arguments for Duck Game to the path to UseMonoNotProton (in quotes) with %command% at the end like so (with your path instead though)
