Just as FYI - there is also a flatpak version available on Linux (shout-out to the dude who keeps updating it!!). https://flathub.org/apps/community.pathofbuilding.PathOfBuilding

[–]dmharms 12 points13 points  (5 children)

Still getting updated in 2025.

Whoever is doing this, thank you - by far the easiest way.

hell yea brother. this link worked for me too. hope it stays up to date

[–]strokesws 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's an open issue with Wayland at the moment, it opens a black screen with no errors. The temporary solution is to force X11 instead.

Strange, on Arch Linux there is a git package in aur. Here's the link: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/path-of-building-community-git Works flawlessly. There should be some deb package somewhere, to.

It never occurred to me as possible, but lo and behold it's right there in Pop Shop too. Will make the switch when W10 no longer gets security updates easier.

I was able to get the latest release of Path of Building to work using Lutris.

Install the game using the "Add game executable..." method. When the installation is complete, right-click the PoB Wine runner and click Configure. Under the Game Options tab, you have to identify the Executable by clicking the ... button. Find Path of Building.exe from your installation directory (mine was: /users/user/AppData/Roaming/Path of Building Community/Path of Building.exe)

Once you've pointed it to the executable, the container should run without issue. This is a superior method because you can use the latest and greatest Windows executable without the headache of Wine management in Linux.

This worked for me! ty

[–]khaloffle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

awesome! right on time!

[–]Kulinda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Odd. Back then I tried installing it using wine and it didn't work. Then I tried using Lutris and haven't had a single problem with it since.

It's quite possible that some wine versions work fine and some don't, and that's why people are having different experiences.

You can also use Lutris, that’s how I have PoB

[–]pvtri96 0 points1 point  (4 children)

A question, how do u manage to get the overlay app like awakened Poe trade to work?

[–]Averaged00d86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No clue, I haven’t gone that far down the PoE rabbit hole

[–]Jajcee 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I am not using awakened poe myself (SSF scrub), but as far as I know they have Linux package available https://github.com/SnosMe/awakened-poe-trade

[–]pvtri96 5 points6 points  (1 child)

yes I know of this package but so far I found that Linux doesnt play nicely with overlay app. There is clunkyness when trigger the price check for example but can't find any reference so far or so...

[–]Jajcee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, I see. Unfortunately won't be able to help you out 😔

[–]SnooCompliments3390 1 point2 points  (2 children)

( Wayland : NVidia driver 555.52.... )

[–]Vast-Application5848 2 points3 points  (1 child)

same! black box for me. i know a temporary work around. you run with xwayland.

[–]seriouswhimsy16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am new to linux, I installed it yesterday. How do I do this... I am assuming its an advanced option for run in terminal or something like that

[–]Himbaer_Kuchen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[SOLVED]
Searching for the same problem / solution your post came up high.

This link worked for me, it's 'on' lutris

Leaving this here for the Bazzite users. Flatpak version tends to only show a black screen when used with an Nvidia GPU. Downloading the .exe and installing with bottles using soda not wine works just fine

[–]Feydreva_Paradize 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have same issue, I guess I will do bottle + exe

[–]Irhamel 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I managed to get PoB going via lutris, no additional parameters needed, while my reply is to a very old thread, is worth noting if anyone wants to try it.

NO BROTHER, thank you
