GE Proton did not work. Tried the mf-install fix mentioned. No luck.
Maybe my lack of experience? But the mf-install seems to do a poor job of explaining a proton install.
The game used to work without crashes in vanilla Proton ~4.2. But, the problems are easily fixed with the simple workarounds provided.
Proton-5.9-GE-6-ST https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom/releases/tag/5.9-GE-6-ST
G29 force feedback did not work, fixed by using https://github.com/berarma/ffbtools and setting steam launch options to
/hd1/ffbtools-master/bin/ffbwrap --update-fix /dev/input/by-id/usb-Logitech_G29_Driving_Force_Racing_Wheel-event-joystick -- %command%
/hd1/ffbtools-master being the directory I installed ffbtools so you will need to adjust depending on where you install ffbtools.
The game would crash only on attempting to return to main menu, this was fixed by installing the custom Glorious Eggroll Proton (Proton-5.9-GE-6-ST https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom/releases/tag/5.9-GE-6-ST ). This did not happen in vanilla Proton around 2 months ago, so some update somewhere happened.
Connection to servers does not work without downloading the codemasters certificate. To use antimech's solution below that was excellent.
- Download Codemasters certificate
- openssl x509 -in codemasters.pem -inform PEM -out codemasters.crt
- sudo mv codemasters.crt /usr/local/share/ca-certificates
- sudo update-ca-certificates
I ran the game on high settings at 1920x1080 and it ran very well with no noticeable slowdown, granted my monitor is only 60Hz so this system may struggle at high settings with a higher fps or resolution.
Excellent experience out of box with no tweaks, with game set to DirectX 11.
Occasionally (perhaps 1 in 10) races the game would become stuck on the loading screen to return to the main menu. (this has happened twice in about 5 hours of play) This would be solved fine by a kill in my terminal, with a restart of the game working fine again.
G29 wheel and peddles worked out of box in PS4 mode, only had to map the accelerator and brake in the options menu.
Victim of the lazy lost launch addition of Easy Anti Cheat, game will not play.
Victim of lazy post launch addition of Easy Anti Cheat, game will no longer play.
Using Proton 4.11-9 ran straight out of box very well, no problems noticed.
"Mouse capturing in full-screen windows has to be enabled to fix right/bottom scrolling. Enabling virtual desktop emulation fixes alt-tab problems. To enable both workarounds, run: env WINEPREFIX=/steamapps/compatdata/40970/pfx winecfg replacing with the location of your Steam library. Switch to the "Graphics" tab, and check the 1st (scrolling fix) and 4th (atl-tab fix) checkbox. Make sure to set the desktop resolution to your screen resolution."
Alt-tab would crash the game, running winetricks and checking emulate virtual desktop fixes.
Mouse does not move view to the right, running winetricks and checking the automaticly capture mouse in fullscreen fixes.
Just like other people in the thread, had the same issue with scrolling and alt-tab. Worked perfectly after installing protontricks and running the mentioned settings.
