Feature Request

I confirm:

[x ] that I haven't found another request for this feature.
[ x] that I have checked whether there are updates for my system available that contain this feature already.

Description

Games For Windows Live (GFWL) is supported and installed

Justification [optional]

In Wine can choose to install GFWL and other games in a single prefix, with Proton it doesn't appear to work the same way and is not installed properly by the automated process

Since GFWL is no more, games could just be patched with it removed. It doesn't do any good now anyway right? Or is there still something it does?

I don't see why Valve should spend time on something that has been pushed into the garbage bin some years ago. That's what Wine is for.

abienz commented 6 years ago

I see your point.

The reason why I brought this up is some games still require it to function, The Lost Planet series of games for example, without it being installed the games don't appear to be able to run.

Those games still function online, I am unsure if GFWL is required for this functionality but I assumed so.

Resident Evil 5 (21690) https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/1253 seems needs GFWL too.

A lot of games still run in gfwl if you install 1 package even in win 10. Even if ms says they dont support it. It still works.

This is related to this: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/370#issuecomment-421761419 Fallout3 is going to black screen after launch until you put the xlive.dll in the game root directory.

Will Resident Evil Series ever been playable on Steam Play? I can't wait to play the Resident Evil 2 Remake on Steam Play!

Fierelier commented 5 years ago

It is still useful to have in GTA IV as it still requires GFWL for multiplayer. Technically GTA IV now runs via RGSC I think, but you still require GFWL to play. Would love to have this implemented.

There's a 13 year old set of Wine patches which might help here (since GFWL is down stubbing is really the only thing needed): https://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2010-November/095274.html
