Then download this specific Wine version: I obtained positive results ONLY with Lutris Wine TKG, I tested all Wine TKG version from 4 to 4.6 (64 bits) with success. I will explain you how even if it exceeds the scope of this discussion.įirst you have to install Dotnet 3.5sp1 with winetricks in a 64 bits wineprefix: Here's the link to the lutris installer for LA Noire in case that helps any.įor whatever the info is worth, I'm running ubuntu 19.04 x11 budgieĪfter a lot of tests I finally found a method to play the Steam version of this game on Linux. Or there's something else at play with the setup that I'm missing, which is also a reasonable possibility. I doubt gecko comes into play, and it seems possible but unlikely version 5.0 of wine holds the fix, but if we can find some way to use that modified winemono, that may be the key that's missing. The difference being, I think, that winesteam lurtris uses some additional/modified winemono and gecko, in addition to running on wine version 5.0. WINEPREFIX=~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/110800/pfx/ winetricks d3dx9_42 d3dx9_43 vcrun2008 dotnet35 dotnet35sp1 win7Īdditionally give or take running the DXSETUP.exe in the '3rd' folder of the game install.īut here's a strange thing, it works perfectly fine under winesteam through lutris with the same winetricks setup. I havn't had any luck with proton directly, neither d3d11 or 9 want to work even if I run this in the prefix

Now the game just exits without any error message after the splash screen. In my case it succeeded.ĮDIT2: I was able to get around this error message by installing the following DirectX Runtime instead of directx9 via winetricks: If the installation aborts with an error start the game again and attempt to repair the installation when steam runs the installation again. NET Framework 3.5 directly, only abort it when the installer is just idling. NET Framework 3.5 installation.ĮDIT: Actually don't abort the installation of. Install dotnet40 and directx9 using winetricks. I wasn't able to get around that error message yet, however I checked system32 and the file definitely is present there. appeared for a few seconds, then the following error message showed up: After pressing Launch Game the splash screen showing Loading. That got me to the actual launcher with the Launch Game and Options buttons. It downloaded the update and then showed an error that it was unable to query DirectX:

Then the game launcher appeared, requesting an update: I had to kill a few processes running via wine as the installation wasn't responding. However, after 4 hours I cancelled the installation as nothing was happening. I installed dotnet40 using winetricks, because dotnet35 is only installable in 32-bit wineprefixes. I was able to at least get the launcher to start.
