Step 1: Install Protontricks from the Discover App in Desktop Mode.

Step 2 IF: The Terminal Way

Copy and paste

flatpak run com.github.Matoking.protontricks 1277510 d3dcompiler_47

Into a program called Konsole on your deck and hit enter, then once that's done doing it's thing, skip to step 7, because you're done with the whole guide and can now play the game.

Continue reading the steps with pictures attached below and disregard this IF version of Step 2 entirely if using the terminal for anything is as unapproachable to you as Subaru admitting he can Return by Death.

Step 2: The GUI Way - Open Protontricks, Navigate to Re:Zero and click OK with it selected.

Step 3: Click "Select the default wineprefix" and then OK.

Step 4: Click "Install a Windows DLL or component" then OK.

Step 6: Install d3dcompiler_47. the window will disappear as it does it's thing just like in the previous steps, wait for it.

Step 7: Close protontricks when the window comes back, go back to gaming mode, play.

You will now no longer have to Return by Crash, and can just enjoy the game.

Thank you for this very simple guide! Game works like a charm now without any crashes on my steam deck!

Well, I'm mostly trying to keep the guide simple and familiar for your average user instead of overwhelming them with TUI options, but thanks for the suggestions anyway.

(also forgot to mention that after this command "echo "alias protontricks='flatpak run com.github.Matoking.protontricks'" >> ~/.bashrc" you need to close and open the terminal to apply changes)

Yes, that's correct. But you can use aliases:

echo "alias protontricks='flatpak run com.github.Matoking.protontricks'" >> ~/.bashrc

so instead of "flatpak run com.github.Matoking.protontricks" you just need to type "protontricks".

Also I don't mind using GUI in the tutorial because they are more user-friendly. I just want to add a terminal option (mostly for desktop users).

[MM] WMan22 [author] 16 Jul, 2023 @ 10:31am

Wouldn't the command be different since it's the flatpak version of protontricks?
I would think it'd be more like

flatpak run com.github.Matoking.protontricks 1277510 d3dcompiler_47

but don't quote me on that, there's a reason I decided to tutorialize via GUI, and it's partly to end the stigma that you "need" the terminal to do anything useful on Linux.

You can also just run "protontricks 1277510 d3dcompiler_47" in terminal if you use linux desktop on PC.
