I wrote a script that would override the game's resolution in the configuration files to whatever was visible to XWAYLAND1. Worked great.
Turned a few settings down. Don't turn down LOD though, the models look terrifying.
This game doesn't select the correct gamepad when more than one is attached. When docked, set your gamepad to the lowest XInput slot, and then it works.
It's a Ubisoft game so it's a little unoptimized.

OG Crysis is unoptimized. Disable SMT and disable ESYNC and FSYNC.
Wrote a script to automatically override the resolution depending on what is available to XWAYLAND1.
Set gyro to disable when holding RB. Gyro must be Right Stick.
Does not automatically adjust resolution to highest, despite setting it in Steam. Fixed this with a script in Launch Options.
Game does not properly work with mouse+gamepad. I used proton because when docked, there was a doubled gamepad on native.
No Steam cloud.
Wrote a script to change the resolution in the configs to what is available to XWAYLAND1.
Had to write an entire layout to be able to access everything. Played start to finish with it.
Text is too small for some even in handheld.
Plays too fast when returning from sleep.
No gamepad support.
- Grabbed the Messiah fixed EXEs to work around the door crash.
- Replaced nGlide with dgVoodoo2 for better performance.
- Added dgVoodoo2's ddraw to fix the FMVs.
Created entire new layout for this.
Don't force high resolutions outside of dgVoodoo.
nGlide performance was awful.
A good chunk into the game, it will crash upon opening a door unless you use the fixed executables from PCGW.
Installing the package I made makes the game fully playable on Linux with minor bugs. I think most people would enjoy it this way.
Option not listed, but I recompiled the game with Steamworks using modshot-mkxp. This allowed for fixing the issues with the game crashing consistently towards the end, however ModShot did introduce a couple of graphics glitches. It was playable from start to finish, however.
You can acquire this build from here. Make sure to follow the installation instructions. If you're on Steam Deck, make sure to use Steam-Play-None so that the game can see the host DBus, and also make sure you play in Desktop mode. https://sterophonick.github.io/pages/projects/oneshot-linux.html
The journal is a little jank on Deck, but it is workable. Not a big deal.
One puzzle is auto-solved.
It's also very much worth noting that neither the original nor ModShot work 100% with Wayland. If you want all of the graphical effects to work correctly, such as one of the endings, make sure you use X11.
Basically, the game doesn't work correctly unless you override ddraw and winmm. After that, it's perfectly fine.
Wrote an entire layout for this game.
Missing FMVs and in-game music.

Created a layout specifically for The Force Engine
I decided to compile TheForceEngine and have Steam run that instead of using DOSBox. In DOSBox, either with Luxtorpeda or with Proton, there are weird framerate issues when shooting enemies. It made the game difficult to play.
