HOW TO INSTALL
================================================
You will need WINE installed first so do that from elementaryOS AppCentre before installing Lutris.
Installing Lutris:
Open the terminal and do
"sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lutris-team/lutris"
"sudo apt-get update"
"sudo apt-get install lutris"
Then go to the Lutris website at https://lutris.net/
Search for "Star Citizen"
You will see one entry for the Live build and one for PTU build.
Click the "install" button for the "Live" build (if you want to play the PTU for the typically very brief time PTU testing is active each major release or patch click on the install for the PTU)
Lutris will automatically start to install and you just need to click OK or Next (you can change the location of where Lutris installs your games if you want...I for example have my games saved in "/opt/WineGames/" for easy access and backup)
Once the launcher is installed, you log in with your Star Citizen/RSI account from
https://robertsspaceindustries.com/
Then click install and the launcher will download all the game files about 51.2GB
Enable HUD
DXVK_HUD: full

To Prevent Crashes and Improve Frame Rates
Increase the sysctl option vm.max_map_count to prevent crashes due to memory allocation limits in areas with lots of geometry:
================================================
sudo nano /etc/sysctl.conf
enter
vm.max_map_count = 17179869184
sudo nano /etc/sysctl.d/20-max_map_count.conf
enter
vm.max_map_count = 17179869184
sudo nano /etc/systemd/system.conf
delete # from the line "DefaultLimitNOFILE" and set value to
DefaultLimitNOFILE=17179869184
sudo nano /etc/systemd/user.conf
delete # from the line "DefaultLimitNOFILE" and set value to
DefaultLimitNOFILE=17179869184
Then reboot.
Launch Lutris, double click on the Star Citizen icon, and have fun in the Verse
Temporary increases to the virtual memory can be done by entering in a terminal the command
sudo sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=17179869184
Output: vm.max_map_count = 17179869184
To verify changes have taken effect run
/etc/systemd/system.conf | grep NOFILE ================================================
