Works on previous versions of proton
Works on 4.2-9, however when I tested on 5.0-2 it would leave me with a mostly black screen. The UI would work however the game its self was not rendering.
While the game technically did run, the stock performance is unusable. I tested with minimum graphics and no proton tweaks.
Menu seems to be missing textures, from brief gameplay seemed to only be on menus and game would otherwise be playable.
Ran consistently at around 8FPS, did not complete tutorial due to poor performance.
STEAMAPPS=~/.steam/steam/steamapps
export WINEPREFIX=$STEAMAPPS/compatdata/359320/pfx
rm -rf $WINEPREFIX
winetricks -q dotnet40 win7
Using Wine 5.0 Stable and Winetricks is recommended if using Proton 5.0 according to https://github.com/redmcg/wine/wiki
I had many problems getting Elite working again until clearing "/home/user/.cache/wine", I think its mainly Mono that needs to be removed however I have cleared Gecko as well.
I have played previously using Proton 4.2 for a few 100 hours, however recently the game stopped working (Trying to fix another problem related to VR, ended up breaking Elite)
Getting the game to work again turned out to be difficult however the steps listed above are what I have used and managed to get it starting up again. No problems playing in VR.
Delete the combatdata folder may also be worth trying if you are having difficulties and want to start over with configuring the game. This will also delete keybinds! If these are important backup /steamapps/compatdata/359320/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Local Settings/Application Data/Frontier Developments/Elite Dangerous/Options/Bindings/
Runs without any issues for single player
Mutliplayer on Proton 5.x and 6.x needs a winetricks workaround, or revert to 4.x
The following command did not work with some older versions of Wine, I used 6.16
WINEPREFIX=/PATHTO/steam/steamapps/compatdata/275850/pfx/ winetricks win7
If this does not work, run the same command but remove "win7" and see if the winetricks window pops up, if it doesn't you may need to try with a different version of wine or winetricks.
