Plutonium BO2 & WaW - Linux Tutorial

[sawb]

Is the controller support working for T6? Cannot get my controller to pick up in game. I do have the xinput dependency along with the rest in the guide. Controller is also working in other games. Is anyone successfully using this with a controller?

RatchetRussian do you know how to fix this without lutris? Whenever i try to download the lutris installer it always fails. I can however play it through plain wine just that my mouse stutters the whole time

[nepnep1111]

Got everything working except T6 in particular has no audio. I'm using pipewire so maybe that is the issue? Can anyone who uses pipewire vouch if they have audio issues or not? Other than that all of the games run like butter. I tried setting the prefix to xp as the previous comment mentioned, but had no success.

Guess this is an addendum to my previous post, but I think I've figured things out (for my setup, at least).

The DirectX error is indeed caused by Lutris' Enable DXVK/NVAPI/DLSS setting; disabling it allows T6 to work as it should.

And I believe the OP might be a bit out of date; maybe because of the simple passage of time or recent improvements to Wine/DXVK, the only winetricks verbs I needed to get Plutonium and BO2 to work is dotnet472 vcrun2010 - I can at least join and play in lobbies fine this way.

EDIT: The only problem is that the Plutonium launcher stays open and frozen while a game launches. No idea if this might be a difference between a prefix with dotnet472 or dotnet48.

^EDIT2: Did some more testing; T4 works out of the box, but IW5 for some reason freezes on first boot (and subsequents) on Lutris - until I launched the running prefix and invoked the same version of Wine directly, where it did work, and I could set the window type to Borderless which Lutris seems to be happier with. Strange, since it's effectively doing the same thing, but eh.
Fair warning: MW3 has bad mouse jerkiness (unrelated to FPS) atm, identical to BO1... which is weird, since for some reason, all previous and subsequent CoDs between these two don't (seem) have this problem (as bad).

Anyone managed to get it to recognize gamepad/controller? I'm using steam deck with it mapped to keys and obviously am getting annihilated without aim assist.

[HoneyOTU]

Shwoopy I haven't been able to get the Steam Deck controller to be seen as a controller, seems Plutonium has a conflict with Steam Input. Since having it stimulate a keyboard + mouse works, have you tried using gyro controls? It might help with your aim, it does for me at least

What is the problem? The file is existing on my Computer.

Im getting this error non stop when trying to install plutonium on lutris. I created a 32 bit wine prefix but its doing nothing for me. After i get this error, it just keeps repeating till the download just crashes and exits.

[broken168]

I did it(not completely). I have some problems: black installation from lutris.net does not working, its exit with code 252, but installation keeping idk why, then i download plutonium.exe and make manually an application. Only local party works, the game freeze when i tried play on server.

OS: endeavour os

[broken168]

broken168 ok, finally i could install black ops ii from lutris, but the issues keeping the same.

[GaymerCornelius]

I was able to get this working on Manjaro, however, when trying to get it to use my dedicated Nvidia GPU I get an "unrecoverable directX error. Check readme for help" When using the AMD integrated graphics drivers I have no issues, any ideas?

[mofumofu]

Try install proprietary NVIDIA drivers, if not yet

coolest username multilib enabled?

[MiniMoe]

For nvidia users on arch, do this for any direct x errors:

sudo pacman -S lib32-nvidia-utils
sudo pacman -R lib32-amdvlk

I managed to get both the Plutonium client and BO2 working fine on Fedora using Wine strictly instead of loading through Lutris - though I have a rather annoying problem; the framerate is fine until I hold down either left or right mouse click, then the camera starts going crazy and the framerate drops.

I believe it's thinking I am trying to drag the current contents of the window (this in-hand registers as a camera movement).

Has anybody experienced this and or come up with a fix? Thanks.

I managed to figure this out!

It was to do with the window not being focused correctly. You can fix this by going into the game and changing the display mode (windowed/fullscreen) a few times in-game. This should fix the window focus, if it doesn't, also try pressing ALT-TAB until you reach the BO2 process to properly focus on the game window.

Hope this helps someone.

Since plutonium is working (on and off ) on Linux now, I would recommend cleaning up the guide.

First, the Drivers guide should be linked directly to GE's guide, since it shows the instructions for most Linux distros (also the part with the yay installation and yay stuff is not needed).
Second, instead of installing all the Winetricks stuff on the system-wide Wine installation, there should be a basic Lutris script which automates these steps and all the rest of this guide. This way the system-wide Wine config doesn't get messed up and everything stays in its own virtual-environment.

Also, maintaining the Lutris script is a much cleaner and easier solution than keeping everything in this thread. I mean, the current Lutris script does only half of the stuff it's supposed to do. I would call my self an amateur, so sorry if this is not a real help. Otherwise, if there's something I can help with, hmu.
