This is what i have been using for the most WINEPREFIX="/mnt/Steam Games/Steam Linux/steamapps/compatdata/292120/pfx" WINEARCH=win64 wine winecfg

Also once .net is installed switch it back to windows 7.

thank you, this worked great - game launcher opens, game starts - seemed to get stuck at the square enix splash screen (white background) - maybe I was being impatient, will check later when I get back from work - tyvm :)

@rcgamer29 game does launch fine, but with keyboard plugged in, it acts as if down key is being held, only playable if i unplug the keyboard

I don't have that issue. Just the control freezes like I said in my first post.

Fixed a similar issue in another game - https://manerosss.wordpress.com/2016/05/31/fix-mouse-detected-as-joystick/

it hasn't fixed it for FF13, but if i unplug the keyboard, launch the game, and replug it works - so it must be a similar issue

It runs out of the box now with Proton 4.2 without messing with the prefix at all. Although it does try to install .NET every time.

Some caveats:

• You can't easily quit the game.
  To truly quit the game:

  1. Press escape, and it'll ask if you want to quit, but it doesn't let you click it, and then the game seems to be shut down (but it's not).
  2. Start the game again, and you'll get a clickable button to quit it.

• The controller acts weird:
  This isn't a wine problem, since it happens on windows as well.There are some workarounds to make things work ok, with a minimum of fuss, until Square Enix fixes their PC port. The problem (based on what i understand) is that the Xinput code is homegrown.

  1. Use Steam's own controller support. I'm doing it via Big Picture Mode and it fixes the camera positioning, and rotated controller buttons.
  2. Various menus get stuck. As mentioned earlier, you do have the press the shoulder buttons to allow it to move again. You don't have to press them all though, just the left one a few times. It's slightly annoying, but it's not that bad.

Oops, ignore that linked issue.. I couldn't tell the difference between a a V and X!

Hi, following the repo policy I think this is where we could speak about all FF XIII problems.

Has anyone successfully played @1440p without the weird low res bug diagonalicaly splitting the screen if half correct rez/half bad rez?

It was solved on Windows through various tricks and utilities but when using the ffxiii-fix dll, it works on everything but that one bug.

@kisak-valve With the latest version of Proton Experimental, it stopped working, it closes when executing "Play", it works without problems with 6.3 with the following parameters:
WINEARCH=win32 PROTON_FORCE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE=​1 %command%

Proton Log Experimental:
steam-292120Experimental.log

Proton Log 6.3:

@kisak-valve Super good point! There may be a problem with my OpenGL setup. I just tried, I'm able to run 32 and 64 bits OpenGL programs, but perhaps there is something different due to steam setup. I'll have a look.

Hello!

Letting you guys know that there is a regression for this game in latest Proton builds. I tried running on Proton 8, Proton Experimental, tried even Proton GE 7-55. The game stalls with no drive activity and loads extremely slowly. It takes solid 2-3 minutes for it to go past the splash screen. There are also huge stalls when loading new parts of the game, even like a battle or exiting them. Every load is extremely lenghty.

Then I tried the latest Proton 7.6 and it's all good there. Loads fast, no stalling. A bit of a shame that newest builds break it, cause GPL helps a ton in new versions. Maybe worth investigating or maybe even worth forcefully setting Proton 7.6 as the recommended version for the time being, to not break the compatibility.

Specs: Fedora 38, 6.2.11 Kernel
CPU - i5 10400
RAM - 16GB
GPU - RTX 3060, 530.41.03 driver

Hello!

Yes, I misspoke and meant Proton 7.0-6. Got the required files for you. Sorry for not doing it the first time. Proton Experimental is the affected version. On 7.0-6 works well, so I provided the comparison. Thanks!

Hi!

Came back to this thread to let you know, that the regression has been fixed. I'm running FF 13 on Proton Experimental and to my surprise, it runs without problems. Thank you for your great work!

I'm seeing a new issue where the camera goes absolutely insane after a short time playing on any Proton version. From my experience, the issue either happens as soon as you load the game or more commonly after finishing the first battle of the session. Here's a video:

Yes, the game camera stutters like crazy without using this - https://github.com/rebtd7/FF13Fix

Absolutely necessary addition to the game. It would happen to me, even when the game only ran using Proton 7.

Also ignore the DXVK part of the fix when you're running this on Linux. It's for people running DXVK on Windows. Fix works perfectly with the standard guide.
