Installing Dependencies

First we need to install some dependencies that are required for Steam.
Find your DRK version here - box86/docs/COMPILE.md at master · ptitSeb/box86 · GitHub

for pkg in box86 box64; do
    sudo wget -q "https://ryanfortner.github.io/${pkg}-debs/${pkg}.list" -O "/etc/apt/sources.list.d/${pkg}.list" \
        && sudo wget -qO- "https://ryanfortner.github.io/${pkg}-debs/KEY.gpg" | sudo gpg --dearmor -o "/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/${pkg}-archive-keyring.gpg" \
        && echo "$pkg repository and key added successfully." \
        || echo "Error adding $pkg repository or key."
done

sudo dpkg --add-architecture armhf
sudo apt update

sudo apt install -y box86-rk3588 box64-rk3588 libfaudio0 \
    libc6:armhf libsdl2-2.0-0:armhf libsdl2-image-2.0-0:armhf \
    libsdl2-mixer-2.0-0:armhf libsdl2-ttf-2.0-0:armhf libopenal1:armhf \
    libpng16-16t64:armhf libfontconfig1:armhf libxcomposite1:armhf \

You most likely failed some step. Did this yesterday and it was working.

  • Check if CPU is being Acelerated by GPU:

glxinfo | grep “renderer”
vulkaninfo | grep deviceName

  • Clear mesa overrides:

export MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE=lavapipe
export VK_ICD_FILENAMES=…
unset MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE
unset VK_ICD_FILENAMES

  • Execute steam using box64:

box64 steam
or
BOX64_DYNAREC=1 box64 steam

  • Give some Mali Boost:

export MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=3.3
export MESA_GLSL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=330
steam

  • Optimise Box64 better

export BOX64_DYNAREC=1
export BOX64_MMAP32=1

  • Boost your CPU to performance:

sudo apt install cpufrequtils
sudo cpufreq-set -g performance

  • Best options:

unset MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE
unset VK_ICD_FILENAMES

export MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=3.3
export MESA_GLSL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=330
export GALLIUM_DRIVER=panfrost
export BOX64_DYNAREC=1

box64 steam
