Borked, even with patch
Still doesn't work, even with the patch mentioned by 'Sunny' elsewhere. Just opens a black window for a split-second then closes. No error.
Download the Linux Wine patch from the Unofficial Kingpin patch downloads page found here.
Fullscreen was finicky even after applying the patch. Force the game into Fullscreen mode, Desktop scaling, and Default OpenGL.
This game is just as unstable on Windows as it is through Proton and is burdened by its outdated engine and mechanics. It has many issues with modern hardware, in its vanilla state, to put it simply.
The recommended approach is to install the Unofficial Kingpin patch which rectifies the resolution issues and adds some other useful features like updated graphics and a server list.
All that must be done is to navigate to the ../linux/ directory on the downloads page and download "kingpinpatch_v8wine.zip." Then, extract the .zip and copy the contents into the game's installation directory and relace any conflicting files.
I played the game for about two hours on the latest Proton 5.0-10 without any issues. I HAVE NOT tested multiplayer mode.
I've tried different versions of Proton since I first tried to run the game.
In any of them I've been able to make it run, or at least get to the initial menu. A little black pop-up window appears and dissapears without doing anything else after pressing Play.
I'd like to think it is my system, which is an old Phenom II X4, but it does not have sense since Proton is designed to work with older generation hardware in mind too. And yeah, the thing still resists the test of time. I can play most games with no issue.
