protonPreloader VS protontricks

Maybe it would be better if we had compatibility with FW in Linux without the use of third-party tools? Those tools are ProtonPreloader, Protontricks, and SteamTinkerLauncher. If so, how can we help the Flawless Widescreen Developer with this?

I am trying to run Flawless Widescreen with Final Fantasy 7 Remake with ProtonPreloader, but the Flawless Widescreen application opens but not the main game. Any advice?

I'm using https://github.com/lazanet/protonPreloader to run games with Flawless Widescreen. Without gamescope it works fine. But when both are used, it breaks experience.

You can do this by replacing the game's executable with protonPreloader, and set the config file to point to your Frosty exe. Don't forget to use Z: instead of C: if the path is outside of the game's prefix.

ProtonPreloader can be used to load Flawless Widescreen on Linux.

There are two methods to unlock FPS, use Flawless Widescreen, or use the Elden Ring FPS and FOV unlocker. I am using proton preloader to start them before starting elden ring.

I tried protonPreloader, but it didn't work for me. I think I have to actually run FlawlessWidescreen.exe with my Proton - Experimental/proton, but I'm having trouble doing that. So far, this is as far as I've gotten.

Just played games on Linux for the first time. It's way easier than I originally thought since Proton is integrated into Steam client. Can even run non-Steam games through Steam client but had to use protontricks to add dependencies like Visual C++ redistributables.

We'll be needing Protontricks to install those packages into our Proton session of our game (each steam game has their own one). You can install it here https://github.com/Matoking/protontricks.

Try to run the mod manager in the game prefix by using protontricks.

ALSO if a mod has some kind of external dependency, like if it specifically mentions needing VisualC or .NET Runtime, Protontricks will be a lifesaver for installing these into Proton prefixes. Might not need it often, but could come in handy to know anyways.

I'm learning a bit more about Proton. You can install Protontricks and then run protontricks 824270 and it should install stuff for you.

You can try protontricks with protontricks 1730590 winhttp (1730590 is The Entropy Centre's Steam App ID, that I just looked up on protondb)

That might be a problem, you could try to install native d3dx9 and xact to the game's wine prefix using winetricks or protontricks. I'd try d3dx9 on it's own first.

But I suspect that you'd find it much easier and more convenient to just use protontricks for this.

install it in the game's proton instance with protontricks
