Play Stalker Call of Pripyat on Linux with OpenXray.

by

The new open-source OpenXray engine allows a gamer to run Call of Pripyat on Linux. This is how to install this very useful application.

This comes as a PPA, just add the PPA to your system.

Then update your package repositories.

4.4 Thu Jan 16 jason@Yog-Sothoth 0: $ sudo apt update

Once that has completed, then we may install the actual OpenXray engine.

4.4 Thu Jan 16 jason@Yog-Sothoth 0: $ sudo apt install openxray

Then run the xr_3da command to run Call of Pripyat. Install all of the game files under the .local/share/GSC/SCOP/ directory, then the game will run. This does not run Shadow of Chernobyl, which is disappointing, but Call of Pripyat runs very well.
