Doesn't open on cleaner boot, but a user suggests VS Redist.
PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 gamemoderun %command%
I'm on a bit of a clean Kubuntu Linux boot right now, but the game just outright doesn't run despite switching to different Proton versions. It's highly possible the user needs to install "Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 redistributable" in their Wine/Proton instance before being able to play the game.
But as it stands without having previously done this or without Winetricks, etc.? The game is unrunnable.
WINEDLLOVERRIDES=“xaudio2_9=n” %command%
No audio upon game start, but audio exists just fine in the first menus. However, due to lack of what seems to be proper audio .dll (that would normally exist in a Windows machine), the game crashes.
Attempting to fullscreen the game seems to do nothing. Even when Alt+Entering.
You need to get a file called "XAudio2_9.dll" from a Windows installation (in the Windows/system32 folder) and paste it in the same folder that "METAL GEAR SOLID 2.exe" is in (I attempted to try one I found online but it did not work). Otherwise, there is no sound when starting game and the game inevitably crashes.

Once you alt+tab, you can't return to fullscreen without restarting the game.

Can't accept terms of use, program thinks it's offline.
For some reason, it asks you to agree to the terms of use, but when attempting to do so, it asks you to connect to the internet first, despite being connected to the internet. This outright stops you from being able to launch any of the content.
