Kalium

Kalium 1. 2. 0

Kalium 1. 2. 0 Skyrim SE/AE introduces the MO2 repair. Sometimes a plugin hangs or gets corrupted, causing MO2 not to launch. This preserves saves, mods, downloads, and more. Tested on my own Skyrim SE/AE saves, and it does work. Backups are recommended, but not required, as this just targets the MO2-related files to be repaired. I had no issues without adding the backups back in, but backup for safety. Shader cache for Community shaders may end up having to be generated again, but Community shaders is made for this, nothing breaking.

Linux modding environment manager for Steam, Proton, and Mod Organizer 2. Open the app, install bew/migrate instance, name the instance (non-Steam game name), choose where to save the folder, choose game and exe location, choose Proton, and install. The rest are just optional choices.

Setup Video Guide

Kalium prepares and maintains the environment required to run the Windows version of Mod Organizer 2 on Linux through Steam + Proton.

It handles the Steam, Proton, Wine, NXM, USVFS, and supporting-tool configuration that normally has to be assembled manually.

Skyrim SE/AE has been the most tested. It will work with 1. 7. 104, however, if the mod does not support the version you are on, this will not fix that, that is up to the mod authors.

Removed Backpatch from the UI. The issue is the Backpatch worked, but Steam, does not like when Linux tries to down grade a game. This is a Steam, Proton issue, nothing I do will fix that, so it will stay experimental in CLI.

Existing instances migration are fixed in 1. 1. 1.x+, back up files for safety before migration. Check Versioning Philosophy to understand why versions are numbered how they are.

Confirmed that multiple instances for a game can be made and ran in the latest update. Previous 1. 1. 1. versions were locked to one instance. 1. 1. 1. 2+ allows this, but mods and game versions are important to double check.USVFS & Launch Reliability (v1. 1. 1. 21):

Hardened USVFS 0. 5. 7. 2 integration for recent Wine/Proton builds (especially GE-Proton 10.x and multi-drive library setups). Fixes virtual folder overlay issues and removes the need for a manual vanilla game launch before running MO2.

Note on initial launches: First-time game boots or fresh instances can take up to 3 minutes to build the VFS overlay. Seeing a brief black screen is normal; please give it time to finish loading without closing the game. Sometimes a launch of the game from steam will fix this if the issue does arise Otherwise, follow:

What Kalium Does

Kalium can:

• []Install or attach an existing MO2 installation[/]

  []Configure Proton and Wine prefixes per MO2 instance[/]

  []Register MO2 as a Steam non-Steam game[/]

  []Register and reconnect Nexus Mods NXM links[/]

  []Detect Steam libraries and installed games[/]

  []Support games installed across multiple drives[/]

  []Configure secondary-drive access through STEAM_COMPAT_MOUNTS[/]

  []Install MO2 plugins[/]

  []Update and configure USVFS to 0. 5. 7. 2[/]

  []Configure VFS memory for large modlists and tools like NEMESIS and Pandora[/]

  []Install and integrate LOOT[/]

  []Provide Winetricks and registry tools[/]

  []Provide diagnostics and repair tools[/]

  []Provide Steam depot backpatching for supported games (Experimental)[/]

  []Support CLI-based setup and diagnostics[/]

  []Provide ongoing GOG and Heroic compatibility work[/]

  []Install standalone Windows LOOT with the WINEPREFIX registration per instance[/]

  []Install Stylesheets from Nexus just like Windows, drag and drop files in the stylesheets folder, and they just work[/]

  []Collections are supported via the MO2 plugin, which you can choose to install after MO2 installation (Nexus Premium is best for this feature, as non-premium members will open as many tabs as there are mods in the collection. This is a Nexus limitation, not Kalium's).[/]

Once Beta status has leveled out and everything works as it should, I will look into Wabbajack support.

Kalium is not a replacement for MO2
