Replace Wine-based Kyber setup with native Linux AppImage
The Windows kyber_launcher.exe approach under Wine/Proton has two unfixable problems on Linux: Wine's cmd.exe crashes with STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION on the long EA OAuth URL, and EA's auth callback uses the eadesktop:// URI scheme which has no Linux handler. The correct solution is the native Linux port AppImage maintained at github.com/simonlinuxcraft/kyber-linuxport-unofficial. It bundles Maxima (open-source EA Desktop replacement) and handles OAuth natively — no shims, no watchers, no per-Proton-update maintenance. Script now: fetches latest release from GitHub API, downloads AppImage, installs desktop entry and ~/.local/bin/kyber symlink. README: add Gaming scripts section documenting Kyber setup, private server hosting with bots, requirements, and what does not work.

# SWBF2 (2017) on a native Linux Steam machine.

# Kyber is a community multiplayer client for Star Wars Battlefront II (2017)
|

# after EA shut down the official servers. It is a Windows app (Flutter/Rust).

# under GPL in January 2026.
|

#
|
||||
# ── How Kyber's EA login actually works ────────────────────────────────────
|
||||
# ── The RIGHT way: native Linux AppImage ───────────────────────────────────
|
||||
#
|
||||
# Kyber uses the "Maxima" OAuth PKCE flow:
|
||||
# 1. Kyber starts a temporary HTTP server on 127.0.0.1 (dynamic port ~41413+)
|
||||
# 2. It calls cmd /c start "" "<EA auth URL>" to open a browser
|
||||
# 3. You log in on the EA page; EA redirects to 127.0.0.1:PORT/?code=...
|
||||
# 4. Kyber's HTTP server catches the code and exchanges it for tokens
|
||||
# As of 2026 there is an unofficial native Linux port of Kyber:
|
||||
# https://github.com/simonlinuxcraft/kyber-linuxport-unofficial
|
||||
#
|
||||
# Problem: Wine's cmd.exe crashes with STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xC0000005)
|
||||
# when called with a long EA auth URL. This blocks login entirely.
|
||||
# It ships as a self-contained AppImage (x86_64). No Wine, no Proton, no
|
||||
# cmd.exe shims, no OAuth watcher daemons. EA login is handled natively by
|
||||
# the bundled Maxima service (open-source EA Desktop replacement by the
|
||||
# Armchair Developers team).
|
||||
#
|
||||
# Fix: Replace Proton's own cmd.exe (files/lib/wine/x86_64-windows/cmd.exe)
|
||||
# with a tiny shim that captures any http URL from its command line, writes
|
||||
# it to C:\kyber_oauth_url.txt, and exits 0. A Linux-side watcher calls
|
||||
# xdg-open on that file to open the browser. Wine loads cmd.exe from Proton's
|
||||
# installation, not the prefix — prefix replacements, IFEO, and
|
||||
# WINEDLLOVERRIDES all have no effect, so Proton's copy must be replaced.
|
||||
# Tested on: Ubuntu 24.04+, Fedora, SteamOS 3.7+ (requires glibc 2.38+)
|
||||
# Recommended Proton for SWBF2 itself: GE-Proton 10.x or proton-cachyos 11.x
|
||||
#
|
||||
# After a Proton Experimental update, cmd.exe is restored; re-run this script.
|
||||
# ── Login flow ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
|
||||
#
|
||||
# ── Why NOT to run Kyber inside Wolf / Games-on-Whales ─────────────────────
|
||||
# 1. Launch the AppImage.
|
||||
# 2. Click "EA Account" — a browser window opens to accounts.ea.com.
|
||||
# 3. Log in with your EA account.
|
||||
# 4. Kyber completes authentication via Maxima (no redirect hacks needed).
|
||||
# 5. Click "Skip" on Nexus Mods if you don't use mods.
|
||||
#
|
||||
# Wolf runs Docker + Proton's bwrap nested. The double-sandbox blocks
|
||||
# CLONE_NEWUSER which breaks WebView2, AND the inner bwrap prevents
|
||||
# xdg-open from reaching the host display. Kyber's loopback redirect to
|
||||
# 127.0.0.1:PORT also fails inside the container network stack. Use native
|
||||
# Linux Steam instead — it's the supported path.
|
||||
# ── Hosting a private server ───────────────────────────────────────────────
|
||||
#
|
||||
# ── WebView2 ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
|
||||
# 1. In Kyber, click HOST.
|
||||
# 2. Select maps/modes for your rotation (drag into Active Rotation).
|
||||
# 3. In the right panel: set a name, set a PASSWORD (keeps it private).
|
||||
# 4. Click Settings to adjust max players etc.
|
||||
# 5. Click START SERVER.
|
||||
# 6. Share the server name + password with friends — they search by name
|
||||
# in the HOME tab and enter the password to join.
|
||||
#
|
||||
# WebView2 is NOT required for the login flow (Maxima handles that). This
|
||||
# script still installs the WebView2 Evergreen runtime because Kyber may use
|
||||
# it for in-app content rendering. Installing it causes no harm and prevents
|
||||
# any fallback-related error dialogs inside Kyber.
|
||||
# Bots: SWBF2 fills empty player slots with AI automatically. No separate
|
||||
# bot count setting is needed — just start the server and join it.
|
||||
#
|
||||
# ── Headless note ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
|
||||
# ── Why NOT Wine/Proton for the Kyber launcher ─────────────────────────────
|
||||
#
|
||||
# On a headless GPU box use Steam Remote Play: install Steam, configure a
|
||||
# virtual/dummy display so Steam has something to render to, add Kyber +
|
||||
# SWBF2, then connect with the Steam Link app from any device.
|
||||
# This script warns if no display is detected at setup time.
|
||||
# The Windows Kyber launcher (kyber_launcher.exe) has a fatal flaw on Linux:
|
||||
# its EA OAuth flow calls cmd /c start "" "<URL>" to open a browser.
|
||||
# Wine's cmd.exe crashes with STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xC0000005) on long
|
||||
# URLs. Fixing this requires replacing Proton's own cmd.exe binary with a
|
||||
# shim — and the shim gets overwritten on every Proton update. Additionally,
|
||||
# EA's auth callback uses the eadesktop:// URI scheme (not http://127.0.0.1
|
||||
# as originally believed), which has no Linux handler. The native AppImage
|
||||
# bypasses all of this entirely.
|
||||
#
|
||||
# ── Prerequisites ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
|
||||
# a. Steam installed and launched at least once (native, not Flatpak ideally
|
||||
# — Flatpak works but paths differ; this script handles both).
|
||||
# b. SWBF2 (AppID 1237950) installed and working with Proton Experimental
|
||||
# (run setup-swbf2-linux.sh first).
|
||||
# c. KyberLauncher.exe downloaded from https://kyber.gg saved to
|
||||
# ~/Downloads/KyberLauncher.exe (or pass the path as $1).
|
||||
# a. SWBF2 (AppID 1237950) installed via Steam with Proton (GE-Proton
|
||||
# recommended). Run setup-swbf2-linux.sh first if needed.
|
||||
# b. Internet access to download the AppImage (~173 MB).
|
||||
# c. glibc 2.38+ (Ubuntu 24.04+, Fedora 38+, SteamOS 3.7+).
|
||||
# On Ubuntu 22.04 the AppImage may not run — upgrade to 24.04.

# cmd /c start "" "<EA auth URL>"

# Root cause: Wine loads cmd.exe from Proton's OWN installation directory
|

# files/lib/wine/x86_64-windows/cmd.exe
|
||||
# NOT from the prefix system32. Replacing the prefix copy, using IFEO registry
|
||||
# keys, or WINEDLLOVERRIDES all have no effect — Proton's copy always wins.
|
||||
#
|
||||
# Fix: replace Proton's cmd.exe with a tiny shim that scans its command line
|
||||
# for an http URL, writes it to C:\kyber_oauth_url.txt, then exits 0. A
|
||||
# Linux-side watcher calls xdg-open on that URL to open the system browser.
|
||||
# The original is backed up as cmd.exe.bak next to it.
|

#
|

# After a Proton update the shim will be overwritten; re-run this script.
