Instsall "winmm" via Protontricks to get music working
Use this excellent guide to enable music (and cutscenes if they do not work). https://steamcommunity.com/app/559620/discussions/0/3810655055442772111/
Basically, the game doesn't work correctly unless you override ddraw and winmm. After that, it's perfectly fine.
Wrote an entire layout for this game.
Missing FMVs and in-game music.
Ingame (level) music doesn't play at all.
Cutscene video doesn't play, only audio.
A lack of cutscenes and music seriously hurt the presentation of this game. It's still playable once you're ingame, but I couldn't recommend the experience to anyone playing for the first time.
Run the game to get proton to create the prefix. Run this to fix the black screen intro and exit:
protontricks 559620 cnc_ddraw
Download nglide wrapper and extract it:
cd ~/Downloads/
7z x ./nGlide210_setup.exe
Copy the extracted DLLs and nglide_config.exe
to the game location and overwrite the originals:
mv -f ./*.dll /mnt/hdd2/Steam/steamapps/common/Outlaws/
mv -f ./nglide_config.exe /mnt/hdd2/Steam/steamapps/common/Outlaws/
Run nglide_config.exe
:
WINEPREFIX=/mnt/hdd2/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/559620/pfx/ wine /mnt/hdd2/Steam/steamapps/common/Outlaws/nglide_config.exe
Set your desired resolution and Video backend
to Vulkan
to fix the mission cutscenes. Then apply and exit.
To fix the music, run the following:
protontricks 559620 --gui
then select run winecfg
and navigate to the Libraries
tab, input winmm
in the New override
box, press Add
, then Apply
.
Cutscenes
protontricks 559620 cnc_ddraw
Helped to get the startup in-game cinematic and mouse/keyboard GUI config screens rendering correctly. Pre/post level cutscenes still left me with a black screen. After updating the nglide wrapper (https://www.zeus-software.com/downloads/nglide) I ran it:
WINEPREFIX=~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/559620/pfx/ wine ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Outlaws/nglide_config.exe
And set:
Video backend -> Vulkan
Resolution -> 1440 x 1080
All in-game movies were then visible. Note: I used 7zip to extract the updated exe and DLLs from the nglide installer and manually replaced the old files.
Music
protontricks 559620 --gui > winecfg > Libraries > winmm > Add
winmm set to "Native / Built-in" gets the music working correctly--including after entering and exiting the menu

No cutscene (Blackscreen), no music. Configuring mouse/joystick crashes the game.

resolution not adjustable. MenĂ¼ to configure Mouse crashes the game. Videos don't play (only sound). Sound works, but no music.

Videos don't play and trying to configure mouse / keyboard / controller crashes the game. Everything else (gameplay, music, etc.) works perfectly.
