    My copy of BO2 is on steam, I cannot access it from the wine file search and yes .file search is enable on winecfg. All the other people I find have it fixed once they turn it on but it doesn't work for me.

      @gaming_time In the Wine file explorer window that appears when you press the SETUP button inside the Plutonium Launcher there is usually a disk “Z:” which is usually the root of Linux, that is if you go to Z:Home there you should have your home user.

        Lutris/Wine doesn't work. I can launch it from Steam (Proton) though.

          Do you know if I can do it on the heroic launcher?

          mikelxeneize It does work with heroic. Just install all the dependencies using your distro's package manager.

          I did not install wine-staging as it conflicted with wine however. Worked for me though...

            I know this thread is pretty old, but wanted to share my experience. To get Plutonium working for me in Linux (Arch), all I did was download the exe and added it to Steam as a non-Steam game. Once I did that, I downloaded my CoD MP titles from Steam (using Proton Experimental as my compatibility). I created a /home/myUser/Games/Plutonium directory and inside that directory, I symlinked the CoD directories that Steam created from the CoD MP downloads. I did this because the Plutonium Setup would not allow me to enter the .steam directory in my home for, but once I created a directory and symlinks that the Plutonium exe could view, Setup was a breeze. I then added the Plutonium exe to my Application Manager (in KDE) so that I could add the Plutonium launcher icon on my task bar.

            Doing it this way, eliminates the need to use Wine or Lutris and was honestly, the easiest setup I have had for getting Plutonium to work on Linux. Hope this helps anyone who finds it!

                  Hey! In your last screenshot, is that KDE? What is that theme or settings that you are using? it looks nice. Thanks for the guide.

                      install protonupqt and install/use GE-Proton11-6-x86_64, regular steam proton lack dependencies got issues for gun sounds too, GE worked out of the box
