FINAL FANTASY VIII
Tinker Steps:protontricks
I used these protontricks verbs:
protontricks 39150 dmband dmime dmsynth dmusic dsound
dsoundfixes the audio sync in the opening video sequence, and presumably later ones as well.- The other verbs get the midi music functioning.
directmusic, which others used, installs all of these, as well as some other unnecessary dlls, so I used just the necessary ones.
Graphics:Minor Artifacts
3d models occasionally flicker between 2 different geometries. Someone's chin will cave in oddly or something. Uncommon and not generally a big deal. Possibly not even linux-related.
Windowing:Switching
The only way to see your other programs is to quit. Very insistent about hogging your screen.
A workaround is to run protontricks 39150 winecfg, go to the Graphics tab, check Emulate a virtual desktop, and fill in the desired window resolution below that.
The game feels astoundingly boring without the music. It's really integral to the experience.
