[PSA] Tk-Glitch has stopped providing wine-tkg sources to Lutris. RIP

The major thing people need to prepare for is Faudio has to be separately installed as a system shared library along with FFmpeg.

FAudio for Dummies (Ubuntu based distros)

What is FAudio? FAudio was created by Ethan Lee to as part of the FNA project to make XNA libraries open source. Specifically, FAudio is a drop in replacement for XAudio2, X3DAudio, XAPO, and XACT3. Okay, how does this differ from “winetricks xact”? Winetricks’ xact verb uses non-free DLLs that can’t be redistributed with something like Proton. Same goes for corefonts, which is why Proton uses a open source derivative of corefonts and FAudio is the replacement for XAudio. Is it bundled with Proton? Absolutely. Proton releases come with FAudio already so it is OOTB ready for games that use XAudio. I’m hearing about “Protonified” Wine builds… Is it similar to a standalone Proton? Sort of… Most likely where you heard this term is either from TK-Glitch or GloriosEggroll’s specialized Wine builds that are sometimes hosted on Lutris. GloriousEggroll goes as far to offer drop-in replacements for Steam’s Proton as an all in one package: These have pretty much all the fixes you could possibly need, and FAudio, FFmpeg, D9VK and DXVK packaged all together. The installation instructions also only require you to make a new folder in your Steam install directory called compatibilitytools.d. I like Lutris, but I want to upgrade my vanilla Wine Staging prefix to a Protonified one from Lutris without the client doing it for me… (AKA, I use Lutris’ Wine Builds outside of Lutris) Not so fast. The difference between a build such as tkg-4.6 and ge-protonified-4.10 means the protonified build requires more dependencies on your system. Lutris bundles the pointers to FAudio in their Protonified Wine builds, but not FAudio’s system libraries or FFmpeg, which is also required to run FAudio. Lutris MIGHT do some some behind the scenes housekeeping to get that sorted out, but for the uninitiated, (or if Lutris DOESN’T do it for you) let’s get the FAudio System Libraries working first. Installing FAudio and FFmpeg from PPAs (Ubuntu based distros) You will need the latest FFmpeg PPA …
