Able to play through entire game, only occasional crashes, setting up Winetricks was the most difficult part.
Wine-GE-Proton 7.27, Winecfg set Win 7, created 32bit wineprefix
Select controller config window, touchscreen yes to use controller instead of keys
Once during playthrough texture was missing but did not cause crash, texture loaded after reboot.
Occasional crashes, especially when replaying a level multiple times due to character death, crashes on next section load after deck goes into sleep/screen timeout.
Amazon game installed through Heroic. Downloaded missing sounds and patch from GamePressure, Winetricks was the most difficult part to set up, used other reports on here and WineHQ for specific dlls required. Had difficullty with 60fps patch, so I set Heroic and deck to cap FPS at 30. Only really encountered occasional crashes while playing on Sith Master and dying multiple times in the same battle, typically >5 times. Restarting deck would give me some more tries to finish battle and move on.
Wine Version: Wine GE Latest Winecfg set to Win 7, default prefix
Some menu inputs required touchscreen
Won't launch with ASF videos
Would not launch after install until I converted the original fmv .asf video files to avi, keyboard recommended.
- Install FFMS2 plug in from Discover
- Navigate to game install folder Home/Games/Heroic/SWFUII/Game/Disc/FMV/Win32
- Open Terminal here and each video must be converted to avi and then renamed to overwrite the existing asf video file, ~50 total files to convert.
NOTE: The files that are dupes followed by _DE or _ES, etc. only need to be converted to use those languages in game, the other asf files contain multiple languages, this article explains how to select a specific audio codec: https://dl.acm.org/doi/fullHtml/10.5555/1134782.1134792#
- For US/ENG, I converted them one at a time using the following command, replacing originalfile with the name of each asf video file:
ffmpeg -i originalfile -ab 128k -b:V 4000k -vcodec copy -f avi originalfile.avi
This results in a copy of the file with .avi following the file name. Rename the files and remove .avi, it should prompt to replace existing asf file.

Just started my playthrough, will update if additional issues are found.
