Compatibility Report

Meanwhile Steam Proton team is working to resolve this issue, this is a workaround:
"SWTFU Launcher.exe" is a gui to configure the game options, it needs .Net 3.5 wich doesn't install on Proton.
So rename "SWTFU Launcher.exe" to "SWTFU Launcher.exe.bak"
and
"SWTFU.exe" to "SWTFU Launcher.exe"
Now you can launch the game, launch it one time and exit.
You need to launch the game one time to obtain a config file store here:
"/your_path_to_your_steam_library/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/32430/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Local Settings/Application Data/Aspyr/Star Wars The Force Unleashed"
Open Config.xml with your favorite text editor and you can now set your resolution:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<r>
<s id="Version">1</s>
<s id="VideoWidth">1920</s>
<s id="VideoHeight">1080</s>
<s id="LowDetail">0</s>
<s id="IsKBAndMouse">TRUE</s>
<s id="MovementForward">DIK_W</s>
<s id="MovementLeft">DIK_A</s>
<s id="MovementBack">DIK_S</s>
<s id="MovementRight">DIK_D</s>
<s id="ForceDash">DIK_LSHIFT</s>
<s id="Jump">DIK_SPACE</s>
<s id="Pause">DIK_RETURN</s>
<s id="CenterCamera">DIK_C</s>
<s id="Options">DIK_ESCAPE</s>
<s id="LightSaberAttack">MOUSE_B0</s>
<s id="Block">DIK_R</s>
<s id="ForceGrip">MOUSE_B1</s>
<s id="ForcePush">DIK_E</s>
<s id="ForceLightning">DIK_Q</s>
<s id="LockOn">DIK_LCONTROL</s>
<s id="ActivateActionCamera">DIK_V</s>
<s id="PlayerOptions">DIK_ESCAPE</s>
<s id="IsMouseXAxisInverted">FALSE</s>
<s id="IsMouseYAxisInverted">FALSE</s>
<s id="ClothLevel">1</s>
</r>

To activate gamepad, change this line:
<s id="IsKBAndMouse">TRUE</s>
to
<s id="IsKBAndMouse">FALSE</s>
this will desactivate keyboard/mouse and activate gamepad.

In a previous version of proton (4.x) it worked fine out of the box. I hope it gets fixed again in the next. Especially since the launcher workaround doesn't work for me.

With PROTON_USE_D9VK=1, this game runs considerably worse than with WineD3D (it uses DirectX 9). The framerate stays between 6-10 FPS (vs mostly locked 30 FPS with WineD3D), and the player character model doesn't seem to have a texture.

D9VK:

WineD3D:

System:
nvidia 430.26
Linux 5.1.20
GTX 970
Fedora 30

I've been testing with D9VK, and the game works fine after renaming the launcher. But after playing for some time ( I believe for 20 / 30 minutes ), it suddenly crashes to the desktop. It happened twice yesterday.
I'm attaching the compressed log file, because the uncompressed has 500mb.

System:
Kernel: 5.3.15
Nvidia Driver: 440.26
GTX 970
Manjaro Linux

@kisak-valve , setting the env var PROTON_FORCE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE seems to solve the issue. I've played for 3 hours with no crashes. Just a thought: it would be nice to have a little hint on the README about when this variable would be helpful ( e.g: 32 bit games ). The current description seems too generic.

@vinifmor have you experienced any other issues in this game? The rendering issue I had has been fixed since long and it worked excellently (well, as excellently as a poor PC port can work) aside from that — time to turn this into a whitelist request?

Edit: forgot about the launcher issue, never mind

@Newbytee , I don't know what are the prerequisites for a white listed game, but there is this issue related to the launcher. I had also to use a patched launcher to unlock the 60 fps -> https://community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/file/506-star-wars-the-force-unleashed-12-fps-cap-fix/ ( but I believe this FPS issue seems to belong to the game itself )

Game does not work, for some reason the launch searches for files in the subfolder de-DE which does not exist. See log
steam-32430.log

I tried the trick with renaming the original game exe to the launcher exe. This did also not work, but this time with a different error.

I just pushed a fix to Wine Mono. Once the CI build process finishes, there should be a download available here: https://github.com/madewokherd/wine-mono/actions/runs/2150290055

Instructions for installing the MSI once it's available: https://github.com/redmcg/wine-mono/wiki#install-later-version

This should be fixed in Wine Mono 7.3.0, available in Proton 7.0-3.

Hello Valve team, this game is stable until you did alt+tab to another window.
When you return to SWTFU window, you have only a black screen and all you can do is closing the game.
