Plutonium

UPDATE: Jug, you have no need to look into this. Apparently, I needed DXVK-NVAPI installed. I did another stupid.

UPDATE 2: I fixed it. I did a stupid, and didn't add in some DLL overrides. Here they are for those who need them, under Settings, Advanced, then Environment Variables. This is the env you're required to use: WINEDLLOVERRIDES=d3dcompiler_47,n;d3dx9_43,n;d3dx10,n This should help people who have this issue out. Marking it solved shortly.

So basically since Proton 10 I believe, and with the addition of NTSync, all COD games from the golden era are perfectly playable. How I install Plutonium on my system (very beginner-friendly): -Download BO2 on Steam (idk if you have to, but I like to boot the vanilla game once through Steam). -Download Plutonium.exe. -Install Heroic Games Launcher. (Install it in whatever way you prefer; I usually use the "yay" command.) -Go to library and press on the big blue button that says "ADD GAME." -Add the Plutonium.exe under "Select Executable">Select Platform Windows>Wine version, picking the newest Proton or the GE version. -Press finish. Have fun. It's not the most ideal way I would say to play the game, but if you are not that into Linux, Heroic will be a big help in many ways. Especially for laptop users struggling with games detecting the dedicated GPU.
