Despirately want to get MHW working on Proton or Lutris Wine

[starry]

I have been trying to get this to work every single day for the past month and I'm about to give up and just start dual booting windows again, but i really hate using windows, Does anyone have a way to get this working? I don't even care if the performance is sub 40 as long as i can run it. I just want to play this game with my girlfriend.

Any help is appreciated.

Im on Manjaro Linux 20, GTX 1660 Super with latest Linux Nvidia Drivers.

Currently if i try to run it using wine steam, it shows all the company logos at the start and then when it tries to load the main menu it crashes with no error message.

If i try to run it using proton, it doesnt launch at all.

Thank you very much!

If anyone needs any additional info ill be happy to provide it.

You did read the Proton DB, right?

https://www.protondb.com/app/582010

Says here you shoudl try Glorious Eggroll's Proton build which can be found on Github. I know I had to use it once instead of official Proton to get GTA to work.

You could try a custom Proton Build.

I have had good luck with this https://github.com/Frogging-Family/wine-tkg-git/releases

Otherwise this one is more common https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom/releases

If you move to a Custom Proton build, you may also need to re-install the game after selecting the new Proton.

thank you so much, its really late and i forgot to check the forums so i will try these tomarrow and let you know how it goes

Also I only recently made the full switch to Linux, which is why i didnt even know a proton DB existed, im a newbie of 4 months.

Both of these custom proton builds resulted in the game not launching at all.

Any ideas?

Since your on Manjaro.

 

If you made a compatibilitytools.d directory, delete it. Then try adding the Chaotic-AUR https://lonewolf.pedrohlc.com/chaotic-aur/

 

I personally use yay for package management, if you don't have it, its a pacman wrapper and AUR helper. The repo above contains builds for it.

sudo pacman -Sy yay

make sure your system is up to date, yay -Syu

 

Install chaotic-aur/proton-tkg-git through pacman or yay instead of using the download on the git page. ( yay -S chaotic-aur/proton-tkg-git )It will help ensure you have everything and that you get updates in the future.

 

Make sure you uninstall the game completely, delete  ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/582010/

 

Set your Proton build to Proton-tkg makepkg

Then re-install

For whatever reason custom proton builds don't always play nice with previous installs.

 

If you get a prompt to install mono, gecko, etc... from a wine prompt on game launch, go ahead and install it.

 

If you get a nvapi error or it just crashes

• Install chaotic-aur/protontricks-git ( yay -S chaotic-aur/protontricks-git )
• protontricks --gui
• Select the Game -> default wineprefix -> run winecfg
• Libraries -> New override for library-> nvapi -> Add
• Libraries -> New override for library-> nvapi64 -> Add
• Libraries -> Existing Overrides-> nvapi -> Edit -> Disable
• Libraries -> Existing Overrides-> nvapi64 -> Edit -> Disable

 

If you happen to run into any memory errors or you just want to try another kernel to see if it helps with performance. I recommend tkg pds kernel builds. These builds do increase overall compatibility with some games.

• For the Intel Xeon E3-1231 v3 in your signature.
• yay -S linux-tkg-pds-haswell linux-tkg-pds-haswell-headers update-grub
• sudo update-grub
• reboot
• should select the new kernel by default, You can check in a terminal with uname -r

 

 

*If you would like to have a wine build similar to Proton-tkg to use in lutris or anything else, you can also install chaotic-aur/wine-tkg-staging-fsync-vkd3d-git

Im trying to follow your instructions, but I'm having trouble, this might be a really stupid question but remember I'm new at this.

[User@Computer ~]$ yay -S chaotic-aur
==> Error: Could not find all required packages:
    chaotic-aur (Target)
[User@Computer ~]$ yay -S proton-tkg-git
==> Error: Could not find all required packages:
    proton-tkg-git (Target)
[User@Computer ~]$ sudo pacman -S proton-tkg-git
[sudo] password for ****: 
error: target not found: proton-tkg-git
[User@Computer ~]$ sudo pacman -S chaotic-aur
error: target not found: chaotic-aur

how should i respond to this?

[Nayr438]

You need to first add the chaotic-aur. Instructions are on the page in the link, but I will post them here.

 

sudo nano /etc/pacman.conf

 

add this to the bottom of the file

[chaotic-aur]
Server = http://lonewolf-builder.duckdns.org/$repo/x86_64
Server = http://chaotic.bangl.de/$repo/x86_64
Server = https://repo.kitsuna.net/x86_64

ctrl+x

when prompted, press y

for save, just press enter

 

sudo pacman-key --keyserver keys.mozilla.org -r 3056513887B78AEB
sudo pacman-key --lsign-key 3056513887B78AEB

 

yay -Sy chaotic-aur/proton-tkg-git

 

 

Also the / in the command doesn't mean or, its repo/package. It tells yay to specifically grab that package from that repo instead of the first package it thinks is suitable.

You are literally a god, thank you so so so much, I have been trying to get this working for literally 3 months. I really appreciate all the help you gave me. Its working now and I can finally play with my girlfriend.
