Installing xact just made the game crash at startup for me on wine, I haven’t tried it on Proton. Fingers crossed for that FAudio thing.
Is that really surprising? I can’t think of a good reason it wouldn’t work.
As for including corefonts, I understand that. Maybe they could have some sort of open source implementation that would replace corefonts with other fonts so it wouldn’t prevent those applications from running? Maybe they could implement some sort of winetricks support? Maybe they could have their own method of automating the download in a similar fashion to winetricks. Whatever they end up going with, I think it would be very wise to get it working somehow, because there are a lot of applications that require corefonts to run in wine. Either way I doubt my issue with Uplay is directly related to corefonts anyway. Unless somehow winetricks didn’t work, I got the same result both before and after installing corefonts, so there must be something else blocking it.
That result, by the way, was a blank Uplay window that appears to do nothing for Far Cry 3, and an invisible Uplay window (it only renders a shadow where the window should be) which I cannot interact with (clicking the mouse on the shadow just focuses the window that’s behind it) for Far Cry 4. As I said before, the game does work in wine, so perhaps I could somehow use the Steam dlls from Proton in my normal wineprefix so I wouldn’t have to have the Windows version of Steam running in order to play the game? An experiment for another day perhaps.

I switched to Manjaro to see how that did. At least it doesn’t crash on launch. Now, it just shows a unhandled exception while trying to launch XML. I have the double listings on all the civIV games except Colonization. It did the same in Wine
Putting this here incase anybody wants to experiment with non steam games and proton
Make a copy of the default prefix somewhere ( ~/.proton in this case )
cp -r /home/dje4321/.steam/root/steamapps/common/Proton\ 3.7/dist/share/default_pfx ~/.protonThis prefix is where all of your specific changes to proton should be made for stuff like winetricks, etc. This will preserve the game specific prefixs or generic wine prefixs.
STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH=/home/dje4321/.proton/ /home/dje4321/.steam/root/steamapps/common/Proton\ 3.7/proton waitforexitandrun ./game.exeSTEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH needs to be a absolute path to whereever you copied the prefix too.
replace ./game.exe with the path to your executable and it should launch it like normal. Some games might fail any steam specific DRM checks since it cant connect back to steam properly.

Danger zone -working
cod mw2 -NOT working crashed on start up (did not test multi player)
Im pretty impressed with the beta. Under Fedora with AND AMD card I have a new game that plays that failed under lutris and playonlinux.
Considering its beta and just released. I hope it does well. A few other games are running with huge 1 thread pegging that slow them to like boot to menu screens are 6-10mins.
My net being as slow as it is. It will be awhile before I check other games.

Is there a away to get a game that “supports” linux to run with proton?
The game I’m talking about is squad. It has linux “support”. Its not marked on the store page, but it will install on linux. But really it just creates the squad directory and its completely empty.

Ive asked this on the steam forums as well. No answer.
Divinity Original Sin developers do not support AMD cards so the linux native game has not worked for years.
I hope there is a option to try games via wine.
