Can't detect the game on Proton #61

Open krasmazov483 opened 2 years ago

krasmazov483 commented 2 years ago

Hello there! I saw the other 2 closed issues about Linux/Proton and decided to try running the mod through that.

Unfortunately the mod can't detect and patch the game when run through Proton. Starting it before, after or alongside Elden Ring, the option is simply greyed out. Also trying to start the game with the dedicated button on the GUI just closes the app and the game isn't launched.

Hello, As of now, I do not intend of fixing this as I don't use Linux for gaming nor do I have any knowledge of Proton. If someone opens a PR I'll happily merge it.

Fair enough, hopefully someone with the knowledge required steps in and helps with this.

In the meantime it looks like it is possible to apply at least a few of these fixes on Linux by hex editing the game's executable. There is a post about the FPS unlock on r/linux_gaming and I also made one about the Ultrawide fix. I'd like to thank you for your work on this tool, both hex edits were made by looking at the GameData.cs file in this repo.

This is off-topic from the opened issue, but there's a fix for the animation rendering on ultrawide resolutions on FWS, but not on the FpsUnlockAndMore app. Do you know if this would also be possible to be done via hex editing?

EDIT: Someone made a similar tool now that works on Linux (and Windows too), here's the link. Should this issue be closed now?
