warning: Note: command wine dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe /q /c:install.exe /q returned status 67. Aborting.

Doesn't matter if I use wine or wine-staging-git. dotnet always fails to install.

whenever i try running it through lutis it says running for 3 or 4 seconds and then quits

I'm getting an error -> boost::filesystem::remove: Sharing violation "steam_api.dll" when I click the play button in plutonium.
How can I fix it?

Is this reliable, and is the performance comparable to windows? i'd like to run it on Arch linux, especially bo2 zombies. last question... what about servers? can i run a server on linux and let my friends join in?

Would love to know if anyone is still rocking this with solid performance. Maybe I am doing something wrong but while I get great framerates, my mouse is stuttery and seems to change sensitivity based on the framerate rendering this unplayable. Seems to be a problem with the game because other games run perfectly fine in the same wine container I'm trying to use for T6.

Sadly for now, this game will have to be one for the Windows VM.

I can't believe it's this simple. If anyone else stumbles upon this because they have issues with a jittery/stuttery/inconsistent mouse, all you have to do is install a tool called:

libstrangle

This tool allows you to limit your FPS in Lutris under the "system options" tab.

The problem I described in my last comment is caused by the game's internal FPS limiter. You want to always stay under 200 FPS because that is the hardcoded FPS cap in T6 servers.

In Lutris, set your FPS Limit to something between your monitor's refresh rate and 200. My refresh rate is 170 so I set the FPS Limit to 180. If you have a monitor with a refresh rate higher than 200, you may have to make a bash script that sets it to 180 when the game is launched and then limit the fps to 190.

In game, make sure to disable "sync all frames" and set the fps cap to "unlimited".

Everything runs amazingly well after doing this. Indistinguishable from Windows.

LuZant1 To fix Sharing violation "steam_api.dll" just delete manually steam_api.dll and relaunch game

RatchetRussian Im still having FPS drop issue

ERR9R

i got plutonium to run on ubuntu20.04 but i cant add a directory for bo2 mp/zm, it always just says "the selection contains a non-folder object", ive had it running before but i had to reinstall ubuntu and now i cant get it working again

ve4k

Nawa When using yay, it still asks you for root priviliges using sudo when you start it, since you can not modify /usr/bin or /bin without root privileges

Sakul

ERR9R yeah I have that exact same issue, can't select the plutonium folder.

Nawa

ve4k yes thats correct, but shouldnt run yay with sudo, only when installing into /usr/bin

doonoo i am having this issue as well. Did you come up with a solution?

So, two things with the Lutris installer:

There's a typo; act_x64 instead of xact_x64 for the dependency.
The lutris prefix made doesn't seem to work? Running it through Lutris causes BO2 to crash with a vague DirectX-related error. But if I run the same prefix simply through the command line (WINEPREFIX="/same/path/to/LutrisPrefix" wine "/path/to/plutonium.exe") then it works fine - or at least, as well as it can through Wine if we ignore the mouse sensitive being all kinds of fucked.

Any thoughts?
