Assetto Corsa Linux set-up script
I've made a script to set up Proton-GE, Content Manager, CSP and fonts for Linux. You can find it here: https://github.com/sihawido/assettocorsa-linux-setup/

Hope you find it useful.

EDIT: Now works with the Flatpak version of Steam!

I've had trouble getting CM to work, so I'll have to give it a try! I'll tell you how it goes.

Just checked; I have rpmfusion-nonfree-steam, not flatpack

The rpmfusion version should work well, since that's what I use. If you encounter any issues, please tell me!

I was wondering if this works on games that are on an external disk? I'm asking as i've had issues setting up Assetto Corsa on any Linux distribution I use (Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu, etc)
I'm using (I think it's GNOME's) udisk2 package on my Fedora system to automount to /var/run/username/partition_name. Thank you for your contribution on these efforts :)

Also, says Ultramarine is not supported, but Ultramarine is fedora based. Used the Ultramarine transition script. I don't see why there would be any issues on Ultramarine though, directories are the same, DNF isn't any different, etc. I'll modify the OS check and give it a shot ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I've updated the script to support ultramarine and automatically find Assetto Corsa, if you run into issues please tell me!

I should say, it didn't install CSP, but i clicked the button "install csp" in CM and it worked, though after i switched to a slightly newer version. and also DKVX didn't work, which is a bummer, since i have an AMD GPU. :(

I've added a proper CSP installation step to the script, so now that should work regardless of the version.

As for DXVK, could you go through the DXVK step in the script again and copy-paste the output here?

Tried doing this on steamdeck with some modifications to the script so steamos is recognised. Also not sure if wget2 is truly needed on arch based distros.
Anyway content manager does launch but I'm getting broken images in place of cars and getting this error when launching; any ideas?

Well according to
System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception (0x80004005): File not found
Some required file is missing, so I would start by verifying file integrity of AC.
Also according to
at AcManager.Tools.Starters.SteamStarter.Run()
It has something to do with Content Manager starting AC, so checking if this happens with the original launcher could be helpful.

Also also the script does use wget2, afaik arch isn't any different [wiki.archlinux.org] compared to other distros in this way.

Ran the updated version of the script, but it fails to install ContentManager, CSP, and fails to detect my steam installation now as well

That sounds really weird, my first guess is that your AC installation hasn't generated the necessary file structure. If that's the case you would need to verify game's files' integrity in steam and launch AC with Proton GE first to generate the files, I've now added a check for this in the script so it shouldn't proceed unless the files were generated. Also now I've made it so you can manually specify the path to Assetto Corsa. Hopefully that'll work for you. If not, that might be an issue with permissions/access to the external disk. Please tell me if you encounter any further issues :)

Tried your most recent version, had to do the Proton-GE install manually cause it got stuck somewhere, after that & skipping Proton-GE installation, it complains about the files not being made, even though I've launched Assetto Corsa with Proton-Ge 9.20 a couple times (all crashed). No clue atp, tried replacing the variables with the paths in case it was some simple typing error but seems to not be the case

Navigating to /run/media/user/extDrive/SteamLibrary/steamapps/compatdata/244210/pfx_backup/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/ I don't see a Steam folder, same for the 64bit Program Files folder

Well usually with Proton-GE Assetto Corsa should launch and work just fine. The Proton-GE step does download Proton-GE every time, so depending on your network it might be slow, and you only have to install it once. Steam usually installs dependencies and whatnot during compilation (after pressing launch) so skipping that might break it as well.
I would reinstall Assetto Corsa completely, make sure the system is updated, restart the PC, launch steam through the command line to get the output when launching AC and see what it says, if it still doesn't work.
