I’m using prime-run wine64 ./SHProto/Binaries/Wine64/SHProto-Win64-Shipping.exe but it hangs on a black screen after the splash screen with no obvious error messages. Anyone have a fix that works?
UPDATE: I FIXED IT
Steps:
- Install proton GE 9.18 via
asdf - Select
[...]/SHProto/Binaries/Wine64/SHProto-Win64-Shipping.exein lutris - Select
proton get 9.18as the runner in lutris - Profit
Update: I have also tried adding it to steam and running from there, but it doesn’t launch at all
I can’t even get the fitgirl installer to run on Linux. How did you unpack the game?
wine ./setup.exe and then select your z drive and then the target directory. I’m surprised it doesn’t work at all on your machine.
sorry for double comment but this is something i’ve been desperate to solve for a little while lol. do you never run into out of memory error with the installers? i frequently do with Lutris. is there a difference with just calling vanilla wine yourself vs using Lutris?
I have always used vanilla wine and only oom when I have too many browser tabs open and try to install something.
yeah i will get out of memory errors with any installers doing uncompression like fitgirls. would love to know if there is a reliable workaround for this
Two things:
One: It does not work with the default install directory selected. Z:\Games\xyz maps to /Games/xyz which you do not have permission to write. Install to C:\Games\xyz and the game will land in the drive_c folder of the active wine prefix (it is a good idea to use a separate WINEPREFIX for each game / program, so you can tweak WINE’s settings individually, but this is not necessary. The default is ~/.wine)
Two: I need to run the installer in a virtual desktop. Run winecfg, go to Graphics, enable “Emulate a virtual desktop.” This can be disabled after installing the game.
It’s been a while since I fiddled with these, but setting the compatibility mode to Windows XP might have helped too. I’m testing one now (Dark Souls 3) and only the first two steps were necessary.

I haven’t tried, but you might have better luck with the DODI repack, they tend to work better on linux than the fitgirl ones from what I’ve heard.
