wine-ge-custom VS wine-lol

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

Things may not be as easy on Ubuntu since there doesn't seem to be a packaged wine-lol that's ready to install. If one's going to install wine-lol manually, they'd need to understand and follow the commands of either the wine-lol pkgbuild or the wine-lol-bin pkgbuild, at which point I'd argue getting an Arch-based user-friendly distro might be easier for non-tech-savvy users. Unfortunately I don't have an Ubuntu machine to work on that or test it myself.

I've tried to update my "standalone wine-lol" version to make use of this: https://github.com/M-Reimer/wine-lol

you can build wine-lol with the fast boot patch

I guess it would be wise to open an issue on https://github.com/M-Reimer/wine-lol/issues ...

It's even better to build wine-lol with the Slow start fix patch, the client will start up in a few seconds.

I self compiled wine-lol, with a few deck spefic changes to the file path, since I don't want to disable the read-only FS (yet). I also got the other wine dependencies and preloaded them with LD_LIBRARY Path and with this I got into the Client.

Install (https://github.com/kyechou/leagueoflegends) and (https://github.com/M-Reimer/wine-lol) if you are not using them already.

Also, the LoL-wine version is maintained here: https://github.com/M-Reimer/wine-lol

I've opened a pr for this issue here. Maybe someone else in this sub could give it a shot as well before it gets merged.
