Re-Volt is a retro delight originally from the year 1999, that originally came to Steam in 2013. Sadly it was pulled from Steam when it was found to contain code written by the community, that the Steam release did not have permission to use. Now it’s back.
Here’s how you can get this game running very nicely on a Steam Deck or a Linux desktop, with a Native Linux game engine called RVGL.
Text guide:
- Download ProtonUp-Qt either as an AppImage for Flatpak.
- Inside ProtonUp-Qt install Luxtorpeda.
- Find Re-Volt in your Steam Library.
- Go to Properties -> Compatibility -> Tick the box and select Luxtorpeda from the dropdown box.
- Play it and enjoy.
A small process to get a classic to live again properly. You may need to tweak the deadzone a little, as with the Steam Deck specifically I found the default a bit too low to control the cars properly.
Available to buy on Steam and GOG.
