Hello I just want to mention that Doom 2016 normally needs more than vcrun2015 to run without a problem. As far as I can tell your project does not support downloading and replacing things, so that needs to be tackled, if you want to support this kind of fix.

Here is the Lutris installer script and my Proton issue about it:
Lutris script
Proton issue

I don't really mind, if you dislike the idea of downloading things and just close the issue.
Kind regards,
Riesi

Hello,
I'm very sorry to bother you for such a stupid question, but whats the right syntax for the 'import protonfixes' line in 'user_settings.py'? I'm totally not into programming, I installed protonfixes and added the line, but the log says

Proton: ************************************************
Proton: THERE IS AN ERROR IN YOUR user_settings.py FILE:
Proton: invalid syntax (user_settings.py, line 21)
Proton: ************************************************

Could anybody help me here? I'm trying to play "Styx: Master of shadows" with Proton 3.16-4 and Mint 18.2

protonfixes/gamefixes/1030830.py line 14.
dotnet542 supposed to be dotnet452

Sorry I don't really know how to use git or github.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Yep, before hat in time ran out of the box, and now with protonfixes it won't run

Describe the solution you'd like
Disable protonfixes for this game. Is there a way to do it?

Not really an "Feature request", but rather a question.

Describe the solution you'd like
An possibility to use the same approach for native linux games launched from Steam.

The key feature of protonfixes is winetricks support, but there is some features may be useful for "regular" games. Like 'env vars', 'command args', 'file installation' and so on.

So, there is actually two questions:

• is it worth ?
  Currently I don't know how to make this work the same way as for Proton, so the obvious way is to set e.g. steamfixes.py %command% in Steam's "Launch options" for every game.
• is it possible to hook ?
  Steam using bash(sh?), . "${PATH_TO}/custom.sh somewhere should work, but it's hard for python script to take control on env vars, or command args.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Steam's "Launch options", or custom script which replacing real game's executable name, Feral's config/extra-environment.sh scripts.

Additional context
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Steam/Game-specific_troubleshooting

I have some non-Steam Windows games that I'd like to make fixes-scripts for, in case I lose the proton prefix for that game, or mess it up. It's also so that others can set up same game with fixes applied.

Right now I use protontricks to do this manually. It can search for non-Steam games by name (to get the generated appid).

Describe the solution you'd like
I'd like that protonfixes detect what non-Steam game I'm launching and load a protonfixes script for it.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Use the name/title of a game to identify it is the most straightforward solution, since non-Steam games don't get predictive appids. I am unsure if the code exists in Proton or protonfixes to get the name of the game today. Alternatively, an environment variable could be used in launch arguments. For example PROTONFIXES_GAME=Journey %command%. This env var could also be set to an appid to run a fix-script for a Steam game (for example if you got a game from GOG that's also on Steam).

Describe the bug
The splash context manager is blocking exceptions from being logged to stdout which makes troubleshooting difficult

To Reproduce
Make a local gamefix that includes raise

Expected behavior
The splash should close and the traceback should appear in the log

The proton 3.16 release corrected the error with the DLL that was not letting Age of Empires II (221380) start.

Operating System:

• Distro and Version: Arch Linux
• Proton Version: 3.16

Game (if applicable):

• Game Name: Age of Empires II
• Game ID: 221380

Would be great if you could add functions so it's possible to change the OS on runtime. Default is Windows 7 but some installer need to run as XP. Another feature which would be really helpful is to overwrite how libraries are loaded.

For example, Little Nightmares needs xact installed but also set xaudio2_6 and xaudio2_7 to native. Another example is that some games need .net and then set mscoree to builtin.

Describe the bug
I am developing a gamefix for Valiant Hearts, which needs corefonts installed (as all Uplay titles do) and found out, that util.protontricks('corefonts') does not work for me.

What is interesting: it never works on on first run, but always on second one - but it's not good enough, because Uplay won't show any interface without corefonts installed, thus user won't be able to log in to start the game.

Any ideas how to proceed?

Some winetricks take a very long time, cefpython3 can be used to display the current status of protonfixes

When installing Rise of Nations: Extended Edition on my cousin's new Linux installation via Steam Family Sharing, I noticed that Rise of Nations has some introduction movies that are not playing, which causes a long pause at start with a black screen.

Rather than fix the introduction movies, it is possible to disable them entirely by putting SkipIntroMovies=1 ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/287450/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Application Data/Microsoft Games/Rise of Nations/rise2.ini. That file won't exist until first run, but in theory, the game should add any missing entries during first run, so it should be okay to create with just SkipIntroMovies=1 in it. This of course needs testing.

I don't have time to test out ideas to fix the protontricks script until the weekend, but I wanted to report this sooner rather than later.

Helping someone troubleshoot why a fresh install was failing and found that https://github.com/pushcx/corefonts/raw/master/ is down. corefonts.py will need updating.

One more useful feature. util.regedit_add('key_name', 'value_name', 'data', type=None) ?
Can be used for e.g.

• force Nvidia GPU vendor in newer Proton versions ;)
• overriding dlls separately for a Launcher.exe and Game.exe
• etc.

Describe the solution you'd like
This function should call $ wine reg add $key_name$ /v $value_name$ /d $data$ /f.

Describe alternatives you've considered
More complex alternative is to use $ wine regedit /S and import a fix.reg file.

Additional context
$ wine reg /?

Usage:
  REG [operation] [parameters]

Supported operations:
  ADD | DELETE | IMPORT | EXPORT | QUERY

For help on a specific operation, type:
  REG [operation] /?

$ wine reg add /?

REG ADD key_name [/v value_name | /ve] [/t type] [/s separator] [/d data] [/f]

$wine reg add 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\AppDefaults\Launcher.exe\DllOverrides' /v msvcp110 /d native /f

Previously was discussed a bit starting here: #1 (comment) and further.

To get sure I tried with os.environ["DXVK_HUD"] = "fps", but no FPS counter shows up.
So, this won't work, because Proton overwrites these variables in the proton file.

I'm not familiar with Python, and maybe there is some magic when os.environ changed, but:

• Proton overrides many env vars and collects them in env[]
• Proton using env=env to path changed environment values
• protonfixes manipulating os.environ values which wouldn't be used (Proton already using env[])

To Reproduce
os.environ['DISPLAY'] = ':1' or any non-used display number

Expected behavior
With incorrect DISPLAY number wine should produce error:

0009:err:winediag:nodrv_CreateWindow Application tried to create a window, but no driver could be loaded.
0009:err:winediag:nodrv_CreateWindow Make sure that your X server is running and that $DISPLAY is set correctly.

Logs
See above.

Operating System:

• Distro and Version: not applicable
• Proton Version: Proton 3.7 Beta

Game (if applicable):

• Game Name: any
• Game ID: any

Additional Information

• Changing os.environ from gamefix can be applied for some variables, where Proton using env['something'] = os.environ['something'] w/o further env[] modification. But mostly have no effect on other env vars.

• Thus won't working changes to os.environ:
  a715b01#diff-c2124c09416fd6d5f490aa2b9c34fb65
  cf11887#diff-9ca019334d39053ddb8f59e215595cec

• I'm using modified Proton version to respect some env vars, e.g. ValveSoftware/Proton#1705

• I'm using modified protonfixes version to change env vars, e.g. https://gist.github.com/pchome/da43ab29de689cc3c21445e2c7fb0676

Describe the bug
Winetricks refuses to install dotnet40.
I'm testing this with One Finger Death Punch. Should be easy, install dotnet40 and it will run but instead nothing happens and protonfixes is trying to install dotnet40 on every launch.

I'm able to install dotnet40 manually with

• WINEPREFIX=/path/to/pfx winetricks dotnet40 + manual clicking through the installer
• LC_ALL=C WINEPREFIX=/path/to/pfx winetricks --unattended dotnet40

but it does not work with

• WINEPREFIX=/path/to/pfx winetricks --unattended dotnet40

However, there's also this line in the log: /mnt/Games/Steam_Windows/steamapps/common/Proton 3.16/dist/bin//wine cmd.exe /c echo '%ProgramFiles%' returned empty string
Running the command manually WINEPREFIX=/path/to/pfx /mnt/Games/Steam_Windows/steamapps/common/Proton\ 3.16/dist/bin/wine cmd.exe /c echo '%ProgramFiles%' returns the correct answer: C:\Program Files (x86)

To Reproduce
Create a minimal example and use it.

Expected behavior
Winetricks installs dotnet40 and the game starts like it does when I manually install dotnet40 with winetricks.

Describe the bug
When Batman™: Arkham Knight starts, Python raises a UnicodeDecodeError error, which would prevent the fix to be applied. This happens even there is no fix file available. Something seems to be wrong with Protonfixes and this game (there might more games). When I remove Protonfixes from the config file, no error appears.

Expected behavior
There shouldn't be an error and the protonfix, if available, should be applied.

For Rise of Nations:

ValveSoftware/Proton#298 (comment)

The crypt32 workaround is no longer needed as of 3.16-3. However, you need to set sound=alsa (when using PulseAudio), install directmusic and set overrides for dmime, dmsynth, dmusic, dsound, dswave and l3codecx in addition to bypassing the launcher to get it to work.

For A Hat In Time:

ValveSoftware/Proton#173

You need to install xact. There is some minor graphical corruption in act 3 of the first chapter, but aside from that, it seems to work fine.

Describe the solution you'd like
An environment variable in runner option, for enable fixes by game.

Describe alternatives you've considered
May be an wrapper script or PROTONFIXES_DISABLE=1 environment variable.

Now with Proton 3.16-5 we have FAudio support, which fixes most xact problems. Means that those fixes wouldn't be needed in most cases if a Version of 3.16-5 or higher is been used. And we will most probably hit much more upstream fixes in the future.

Now it would be nice to have a function to give back the version in use. However, best would be to give it back as list, like [3, 16, 5]. In that case it would be easy to check for that.

Hi,

Just little question for try to fix full screen of reckoning !

Cordialy

ValveSoftware/Proton#783

Hi can you please add Smite gamefixes?
I cannot code so Iam asking.

You would need to add:

• protontricks 386360 dotnet40 physx vcrun2010 vcrun2012 vcrun2013 vcrun2015
• protontricks 386360 winecfg change Windows version to Windows XP
  -Add these as (native, buildin): dxgi d3d9 d3d10 d3d10core d3d11 d3dx9_43 d3dx10_43 d3dx11_43
• set Launch options to "PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 %command%"

About the EAC I dont know if this is possible to also add you need the files from paladins.

(From the Paladins/Binaries/EasyAntiCheat/ folder copy everything except for the Certificates and Launcher folder to the Steam/steamapps/common/SMITE/Binaries/EasyAntiCheat/ folder copy both EasyAntiCheat dll files in the EasyAntiCheat folder to Steam/steamapps/common/SMITE/Binaries/Win32/EasyAntiCheat/and Steam/steamapps/common/SMITE/Binaries/Win64/EasyAntiCheat/)

Thank You

Im on manjaro x64 but is not work ?

Have copy and rename user_settings.sample.py to user_settings.py in folder :
/home/pc/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Proton 3.16/

Have install sudo pip install cefpython3 & sudo pip install protonfixes
And have add import protonfixes on user_settings.py & user_settings.sample.py

For what not work is not ok ?

Best Regards

corefonts is now shipped with proton as of 3.16-4, and so the fix is no longer needed.

See ValveSoftware/Proton#1867 for details.

Many gamefixes contains log('Applying fixes for $MyGameName$'). This can be automated.

Describe the solution you'd like
You can cut game installation path (util.get_game_install_path()) to just /path/to/library/SteamApps and use appmanifest_$GameId$.acf file to read name field.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Good enough alternative is to keep using log() in game fixes.

Additional context

cd /path/to/library/SteamApps
grep '"name"' *.acf

When helping out my cousin setup Age of Empires III on his new Linux installation, I discovered that the protontricks compatibility fix for it are broken. Steam did not like the 32-bit prefix and the 32-bit prefix itself is entirely unnecessary, as I had installed it in a 64-bit prefix using proton tricks:

ValveSoftware/Proton#17 (comment)

I don't have time to test out ideas to fix the protontricks script until the weekend, but I wanted to report this sooner rather than later.

To be clear, he was using Proton 3.7-8.

Describe the bug
The Corefonts functionality added in e34bfc6 breaks games when those are on a different partition/drive as the home partition/drive. This happens due the fact that no hard links are allowed between different devices.

To Reproduce

• Install game on a different partition/drive as the home
• add protonfixes to user_settings.py
• launch the game

Expected behavior
Games shouldn't stop launching and symlinks should be symbolic or fonts should be copied.

Logs
Steam stdout, no Proton log will be created.

Space Engineers support is currently missing from prontofixes.

Describe the solution you'd like
These are the steps required to get the game to work:

1. protontricks 244850 --force -q dotnet472 vcrun2015 faudio d3dcompiler_47
2. Edit the XML file $HOME/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/SpaceEngineers/Bin64/SpaceEngineers.exe.config and set gcServer to be enabled: <configuration><runtime><gcServer enabled = "true"/></runtime></configuration>
3. Rename the intro video file so it does not load (it prevents the game from starting): $HOME/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/SpaceEngineers/Content/Videos/KSH.wmv

Describe alternatives you've considered
As of right now, the SpaceEngineersLinuxPatches project is the only way to apply the fixes in a semi-automated way. It still requires manual steps by using an interactive GUI. This would make more sense to be integrated directly into protonfixes.

Describe the bug
After updating to Proton 3.16 I noticed multiple issues that were not present in 3.7

**Examples: **

• XBOX 360/Steam controller trigger axis being treated as joystick axis in some games (FFIX)
• dotnet40 winetrick not installing properly (affects Styx)

Additional Information
Added util.protonversion() as a start, but this only gives the major/minor version of Proton, more work is needed in finding out why some things have regressed.

The dotnet40 issue is with wine 3.16 has some information here

Instead of having multiple similar fixes in xxxxx.py files, it would be better to add games to some fix-group.

E.g. dotnet40 and/or noesync groups, then corresponding fixes should be applied for GameId.

Data for e.g. noesync group can be collected from esync issues or Proton issues

Also nolauncher group with "from,to" parameters support would be great.

The idea is simple: hold Left Ctrl key during game launch to spawn an program where one can add/modify PF options.

I hacked this as two parts: a simple keypress detector, to avoid additional dependencies (except it depends on X11), and a patch.

is_ctrl_key.c

#include <X11/Xlib.h>
#include <X11/keysym.h>

int main() {
  char keys_return[32];

  Display *dpy    = XOpenDisplay(NULL);
  KeyCode keycode = XKeysymToKeycode(dpy, XK_Control_L);

  XQueryKeymap(dpy, keys_return);
  XCloseDisplay(dpy);

  return !!(keys_return[keycode >> 3] & (1 << (keycode & 7))) ? 0 : -1;
}

When LCtrl pressed, PF will check for existing local gamefix or will create a new one from template. Then (in this example) will open it with the text editor (kate). After closing editor session PF will continue it's work and should load modified gamefix as usual.

Could be changed to an GUI program with most common proton switches to select, if any do/will exist.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I can see in the logs that every time you run a game with protonfixes script that has a winetricks command it in. That it will always run the winetricks command, before the game starts. Which makes the start up much slower then it should be.

Describe the solution you'd like
Have a check whenever a winetricks is installed or not before it runs the command.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Not 100% sure how, maybe there is a check in winetricks.

I'm writing this issue in order to spark a discussion regarding the use of cef in this project.
While cef allows the use of html+css+js to create an appropriately themed splash screen for
big picture mode, it has some drawbacks:

• The project has been going at a snail's pace for the last year and a half with no new releases past v66 (chromium is currently on v78)
• cefpython is not packaged in any linux distribution, and needs to be installed manually via pip
• The python wheel bundles the spotify build of chromium, which might not be pleasing for the more security-oriented linux users (then again steam is a giant ball of binary blobs 🤷‍♂️ )
• Even with some stripping, an installation of cefpython is around 200MB
• Building cefpython with any version of python > 3.7 (e.g. Arch or Ubuntu Focal) is really hard
• Spawining an entire browser in order to show a progress bar seems a bit excessive

The options for a replacement are multiple (pySide, pyGobject, kivy and others).
IMHO I would pick kivy among the contenders as it has the following advantages:

• Low footprint both in terms of computing power and in terms of required dependencies (basically sdl2)
• An interface similar to cef can be written in a few hundred lines
• Does not use a desktop-oriented toolkit (e.g. gtk/qt) and therefore it is easier to write a borderless splash that does blend well with big picture mode

I'm eager to know what others think on the matter.

protonfixes has to delete the syswow64 directory when running in a win32 prefix because winetricks determines that the prefix is 64bit if syswow64 exists. Then the syswow64 directory gets recreated so that Proton doesn't crash when running. But if proton runs multiple commands when a game launches, it can cause the game not to launch the first time it is selected.

Subsequent launches of the game will not have the same issue because winetricks will only run if the verb hasn't already been installed.

Hi,
I'm the author of the Steam wrapper tool SteamTinkerLaunch (or short stl)
which is started directly as Steam startoption stl %command% and offers a wide range of extra features for the launched game.
One of them is that required configurations get auto applied to get a game working ootb.
Currently I'm planning to implement "autotweaks" - a function to (optionally) search for required tweaks on different platforms
and think it would be great to implement an "importer" for your gamefixes as well.
Basically stl would clone/pull protonfixes and when a game is launched it would check if a matching "$SteamAppId.py" file exists and would extract the tweaks from there (at least winetricks packages, exe overrides, commandline parameters, registry entries, env variables, maybe later also custom scripts)
I opened an issue for myself, to gather some ideas already here

Would be great if this is ok for you, else I would just write a quick offline script which parses your gamefixes once and creates static stl "tweak files" for bundling with my project (which I guess should not be a problem, right?)
cheers!

Not sure if this is the right way to do report this kind of fault. But i need some help, im not an expert when it comes the Python language.

But i follow your small guide, i used the pip installation and installed the stuff i needed to finish it.

I added the line "import protonfixes" in user_settings.py (after #!/usr/bin/env python)

But when i try to launch the game Final Fantasy IX nothing happens, but when i check the error.log in .steam folder. I see the following line:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'protonfixes'

Im missing something?

EDIT: Just side information, my steamapps folder is not under ~/.steam, but in a total diffrent folder and harddriver.

EDIT 2: Im using Linux Mint 19

Describe the bug
Kdialog splash is not working, and no fixes installed. If i install python-cef python-kivy kdialog is working and fixes installed.

To Reproduce
Install arch, install kdialog, try launch game with fixes.

Expected behavior
Kdialog wokring.

Logs
kdialog.log

from protonfixes import debug
import protonfixes

Operating System:

• Distro and Version: ArchLinux
• Proton Version: Protonfixes 5.0-5

Game (if applicable):

• Game Name: Collapse
• Game ID: 289620

Additional Information
Add any other information [i.e. Modified Proton, Non-default Steam Library folder, etc] that might be useful in troubleshooting.

As the title states the wiki is quite outdated.
Things that need updating:

• Remove Installation or reference it in README.md (it doesn't make sense to have the same instructions in 2 places or discordant instructions)
• List of Fixes hasn't been updated in 2 years
• The Gamefix utilities section of Writing Gamefixes is a bit outdated, some new commands have been included in utils and download that might be nice documenting
• There is wiki/Gamefix-Utilities which is linked from README.md and wiki/Writing-Gamefixes#gamefix-utilities which is shown in the main page of the wiki

Proton copies 64bit libraries into system32 because system32 on a 64bit system holds the 64bit libraries normally and proton only knows about 64bit prefixes. Proton copies the 32bit libraries into syswow64

Symlinking syswow64 to system32 doesn't work because the 64 bit libraries are copied after the 32bit libraries and share the same name. This affects dxvk, wined3d11, vrclient and openvr_api_dxvk.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Not a problem with protonfixes itself, but problem with companies that uses launchers in their games. Take a example, Batman Arkham Asylum here you need to use keyboard / mouse in order to move forward and launch the game. Hence breaks the Console Experience with SteamBox.

Describe the solution you'd like
Have a check in gamefix-script when user uses Big Picture Mode and use "util.replace_command" to skip launcher.

Like
if util.protonbigpicture('SteamTenfoot') # Skip the launcher if using BPM for more Console Experience util.replace_command('Binaries/BmLauncher.exe', 'Binaries/BmStartApp.exe')

Currently javascript and styles are fetched from CloudFlare CDN
https://github.com/simons-public/protonfixes/blob/master/static/index.html

Which (IMHO) would not work correctly w/o network or CloudFlare access (e.g. Steam offline mode and network disconnected).

Describe the solution you'd like
Inline those files contents. Or better drop cefpython3 dependency.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Possible native solution: zenity, kdialog, libnotify, ...
E.g. sleep 2 | zenity --progress --pulsate --auto-close
works for me using https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13332268/python-subprocess-command-with-pipe#13332300 example.

Additional context

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
A lot of games require the "Media Foundation" dlls to run properly, otherwise they render black screens or dont render movies or some other parts of the game properly A small sample of games affected by this are:
Monster Hunter World
Blaz Blue Central Fiction
GRIS
Breathedge
FINAL FANTASY TYPE-0 HD
Car Mechanic Simulator 2018
PC Building Simulator
American Fugitive
Dauntless
Remnant: From the Ashes

Describe the solution you'd like
The most popular workaround is to use the solution provided by this repo:

https://github.com/z0z0z/mf-install

It would be really useful to be able to have the repo as part of the project, and to execute the install script on the prefix based on a 'protonfixes' option that can be specified.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I may be able to code this myself and submit a PR, but my time is limited between my job and side projects. If you or someone is able to get to it before me it would be awesome and helpful.

Probably useful feature. util.set_game_option('section', 'option', 'value', 'file')?

Describe the solution you'd like
Similarly to util.set_dxvk_option() we can use /path/to/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/My Documents/GameName/config.file to modify game's INI configuration file.

Additional context
Not sure if there is any game requires modification of game's config to be launched, but it could be useful for local gamefixes to take more control in one place.

Also we know more about system, so some system specific options could be modified.
E.g. common Unreal Engine fixes, like PoolSize (https://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Engine:Unreal_Engine_3#Stuttering_and_texture_.22popping.22)

I'll probably implement this by myself one day, but if anyone like/want this now -- here is the idea.

protonfixes/gamefixes/1030830.py line 14.
dotnet542 supposed to be dotnet452

Sorry I don't really know how to use git or github.
