surprisingly, the game needs less tinkering to run on linux compared to windows, videos require a mod to work
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dsound=n,b" %command%
i made the config
some text such as ammo counters might be a bit difficult to read
Many sounds are missing and will require dsound.dll component.
videos wont play by default
the ingame videos by default use the WMV video codec, i made this mod to fix the issue

besides that i suggest you use the dsound.dll component
- Download dsound.dll 32-bit version 10.0.10586.0 from dlldownloader.com
- Place dsound.dll in C:\windows\syswow64\ in commando 2's proton compatibility container folder
- In steam, go to Commandos 2 properties -> launch options and enter: WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dsound=n,b" %command%

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dsound=n,b" %command%
Some sound effects are missing unless tweaked
Movies between missions don't work. It's also an issue with Windows.
Many sounds are missing and will require dsound.dll component. Proton/Winetricks dsound.dll version causes more audio issues. You have to do the following for perfect audio:
- Download dsound.dll 32-bit version 10.0.10586.0 from dlldownloader.com
- Place dsound.dll in C:\windows\syswow64\ in commando 2's proton compatibility container folder
- In steam, go to Commandos 2 properties -> launch options and enter: WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dsound=n,b" %command%
