Launch X-Wing vs TIE FIGHTER.EXE with Wine Program Loader but remember to disable the steam overlay.
DLC crashes when launched but main game works perfectly.

Broken intro FMV cutscene, so I just unchecked 'Watch Introductory Cutscene' to avoid it. Everything else runs fine, in fact the Steam overlay works despite not popping up at all on Windows.

Working perfectly out of the box.

Tested if new Proton still runs it and yeah, runs fine. Controller needs to be connected - tested with Steam Controller.

Game will crash w/o a controller connected, but runs perfect. I have still to play multiplayer, so I can only vouch for the single player missions.


Game needs a joystick or gamepad (by design). It will not start without gamepad attached. Tested with DualShock 4.



Starts fine, Crashes with not joystick attached; I don't know might work with Joystick /Gamepad connected
