ProtonDB Fixes to Games

Fixes applied to games running on Ubuntu GNU Linux operating system.

To bypass launcher issues on Native installations, go to the games local file directory (Game properties > Install Files > Browse) using Steam and find the binary, launch the game from the binary

  • Use Hide the top bar extension for windowed full screen
  • Works out of the box with proton experimental

  • For story mode, install Proton GE using asdf instructions on GE GitHub, restart steam, select GE and test story mode works ok

    • During Story Mode cut scenes, may need to press Enter to get rendering to work

Open the game folder (right click on the game, properties -> installed files -> browse) Navigate to Packs/Maps folder. Create some folder, name it as you like - i.e. bak or temp Find all the files with names starting with “MainMenu_” Move all those files to the folder you created in step 3. Launch the game. Game should launch to the menu but instead of the background with your mercs, it will be black. Open Options -> Video and change Reflections to anything other than Medium or High. Off, Low and Ultra are ok. Apply the change. Don’t try to play yet. You do not have some necessary files. Close the game. Restore the “MainMenu_” files to their previous location. Restart the game. Game should now go to the main menu, background with mercs should be there.

Windowing:Size

  • You might notice that mouse clicks apply slightly below where they are supposed to. This is because in full screen the window is slightly lower than expected. This can be observed by moving the mouse to the top of the screen and looking at the thin black area on the top.
  • To fix this, go to settings, set the windowed mode to “Windowed”, apply and then switch back to “Windowed fullscreen”. This will fix the clicks.
  • Needs to be done after every restart.
