Has anyone gotten this running on a current version of Proton?
People have gotten this game running under Linux before, but it's a complete PITA.

The biggest problem is that it needs dotnet40, which is hard to install properly in a 64-bit prefix. I imagine WINE's recent switch to pure 64-bit libs doesn't help matters.

The game launches with Proton Experimental, without dotnet40 installed, but once you try to get past the menus into the actual game, it immediately crashes.

Installing dotnet40 using Winetricks doesn't help, Protontricks can't even get dotnet40 installed in the first place, and switching over to Proton-GE makes it so that the game doesn't even get into the menus.

I'm running EndeavourOS with KDE under Wayland, and I have proton-ge-custom-bin, protonup-qt-bin, and protontricks all installed from the AUR. I also use steam-native, though I may have to try steam-runtime to see if it helps matters.

I actually just managed to get it working, thanks to a post on ProtonDB: https://www.protondb.com/app/434570#-ibPLY_93a

Basically, you need Proton-GE 9-25 and Winetricks. Set the game to run using that version of Proton, launch it once, close it, then open a terminal in the game's directory and run WINEPREFIX="$PWD/../../compatdata/434570/pfx" winetricks dotnet40 xna40
