protonfixes VS wine-ge-custom

Have you tried to: * update ProtonGE (I use version 7-49 but I see 7-50 was released yesterday) * remove the file /home/deck/.local/share/Steam/compatibilitytools.d/GE-Proton7-49/protonfixes/gamefixes/1097150.py (source here)

"wmp9_ge" and "klite" custom winetricks verbs, you can download them from here

Fixes should land in GE-Proton7-34: https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/protonfixes/pull/94

^ And Proton-GE, if you use it, will automatically fetch packages it knows that you need. This isn't all that common though.

I suppose save game detection and folder merging could be done on a per-game basis with something like protonfixes.

It has a script with known fixes for each game e.g persona 4 script is here

There are kinda two levels of "game fixes". There are out-of-tree patches to Wine that were made to fix specific games but are not yet sufficiently tested or might present some other problems that prevent them from being included in upstream Wine yet. These are included in wine-ge, yes. Then there are "protonfixes", these are specific to Steam. They are Python scripts that run before the game is started to install dependencies or make other changes to the prefix that are required to run that specific game. Since they use Steam codes to reference the games, they can't work outside of Steam, so these are not in wine-ge. If you use Lutris to install games, then Lutris has install scripts that can do the same job, so it generally cover for it.

The only working fix for this at the moment is using GE-Wine 25 via Lutris.

I have FF14 working with WINE-GE 8-21 on Arch Linux. The only issue seems to be with video playback from ARR. The openings for Heavensward thru Endwalker all play OK.

I am using Lutris-GE-lol-p8-12, Arch Linux, Wayland, and a AMD CPU and GPU (Mesa).

This is big, at least for some of us. I honestly stopped at the last FSR enabled GE, which was around GE-Proton7-55, and planned to stay there for as long as possible. Don't know who Ph42oN is, but deserves tons of respect for make it again possible. Yes, gamescope was/is another way, but I very much prefer this one. https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom/releases/tag/GE-Proton8-7 https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/wine-ge-custom/releases/tag/GE-Proton8-11

I installed Chrome using latest Wine-GE, but DRM is an issue now.

Install lutris-GE-Proton8-8 and then just switch to 8-10 after installation. https://github.com/gloriouseggroll/wine-ge-custom/releases (extract it to ~/.local/share/lutris/runners/wine)

Use last lutris-wine or latest Wine GE

I would try GloriousEgroll, I use their version of proton to help with a lot of games, I linked you to their WINE version.

There's one specifcally for Wine, too: https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/wine-ge-custom
