ProtonUp-Qt VS Wine-Builds

Lutris is a launcher for applications that run on Linux, that's the most comprehensive answer. It is highly configurable and supports scripting. Probably the most common use is launching non-steam Windows games with Wine and DXVK/VKD3D (I recommend a tool called ProtonUp-Qt for managing versions of this software). However, it can be configured to launch just about anything, including native Linux executables etc. Many popular titles will have scripts that automate the installation and setup, making them plug and play (if the script is good, that is). But everything the script does can be done manually too.

Try Installing proton up qt (haven’t tried it yet, I have the same issues as you). You can find it here (use dxvk): https://davidotek.github.io/protonup-qt/

Easiest way is to ise ProtonUp-Qt: https://github.com/DavidoTek/ProtonUp-Qt

Install ProtonUp-Qt from the Discover store and open it

/// protonGE downloader ensures you have the latest version

In the discover store you can find https://davidotek.github.io/protonup-qt/ that will download the latest.

Try installing it through Steam instead of using Wine directly. Mine is currently set to "Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool" and GE-Proton7-41, so try installing that one if none of the Proton versions that come with the Steam client works. Installing a custom version of Proton is fairly simple if you know the command line, basically just unpack it into the right folder. But if you prefer graphical tools you can use ProtonUp-Qt instead.

I'd try that since it's something you haven't tried at least. Check the first comment - all you have to do is install protonUp-Qt and then launch it. Use protonup to install Proton GE 7-55. Then, when you go to steam (might require a restart, don't remember) in the compatibility settings for the game you can set it to the Proton GE version.

Bit late but luxtorpeda has gzdoom as an option along with qzdl for launching with mods. You just gotta install protonup-qt from the discover store in desktop mode. A quick YouTube/Google search can show you how but that's the rough gist of it.

Create a Wine prefix for COD WAW Plutonium. It can be a 32 bit or 64 bit Wine prefix. Plutonium works with Wine 8.0.1. You can download this version of wine and many other wine version from Kron4ek.

Download wine from here (download for x86).

Also, if you interested, would love feedback on OW2 running with wine-8.1-staging-tkg on Lutris (link) - this might also be the most recent caffe release on Bottles as I think they also use the tkg patches.

Here is the link. Extract the file to ~/.local/share/lutris/runners/wine if you are using native lutris install. I prefer the tkg. Also update your dxvk and vkd3d versions - did you disable hardware acceleration in bnet? I manually install latest dxvk and vkd3d versions from their git pages - extract to ~/.local/share/lutris/runtime/dxvk or vkd3d. In Lutris, they will not appear in the dropdown list, so you type in the folder name that was created when you extracted the files (eg dxvk-2.1)

Download the wine-7.22-staging-tkg-amd64.tar.xz file from this link and extract it in the runners/wine folder in Lutris (exact path to this location will vary depending on whether you are using the flatpak version or native to your distro). Also if you are using Lutris, make sure you have the 0.5.12 version installed.
