If you did everything according to the guide, the game will most likely run smoothly and identically to how it would on Windows.
Step by step instructions in this Steam guide: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3285152870 .
As mentioned in the guide from the link, intro clips break the fullscreen. Removing or renaming 2 intro files to anything else fixed the problem. Once you do it just spam ENTER when the screen gets black after starting the game. The intro is broken anyway (even on modern Windows versions) so no harm in getting rid of those files.
Switching virtual desktops can break the in-game control input (on i3 window server at least), leaving menu controls working just fine. You might want to restart the game when that happens.
- Set up the game configuration file:
Go to the game's directory
Create "config.cfg" file if there isn't any.
Paste the lines below into the configuration file:
width 1600 height 900 bitdepth 32 usesound 1 window 1 widescreen 1 framesync 0
- Save the file
- Set up Proton configuration with Protontricks:
- Get through protontricks > Default prefix > winecfg > Libraries
- Add these entries: "msvcp71", "msvcr71", "d3dx9_29", "d3dx9_30"
- Apply changes and quit Protontricks
While starting the game, you might end up having an empty window or some weird video cilp running in it. Pressing SPACE couple of times should skip the broken intro clip (just like on Windows in some cases). If you end up having 2 separate windows, just spam SPACE and the game should start a few seconds later. Now that the game is running you can change window resolution settings in Options menu to match your display resolution. Have fun playing the game! ;)
Changing to window=0 in the game configuration file makes the game unplayable. I recommend playing in widowed mode at the highest available resolution until the fix is found.
Still the same problem - game says the disc is dirty or damaged
Unfortunately nothing has changed as of today - the game still won't get to menus with the same problem already stated.
Won't launch. Crashes immediately.
Tested with both regular 6.3-6, Proton Experimental and Proton GE. Same result.
On launch game shows black screen and if you press Enter it says "There's a problem with the disc you're using. It may be dirty or damaged". Tried disabling DX10/11, changing windows version to XP through winecfg with no effect.
