Feature Request

Make it so that RtWorkQ.dll loads consistently

I confirm:

  • [x] that I haven't found another request for this feature.
  • [x] that I have checked whether there are updates for my system available that
    contain this feature already.

Description

Plants vs zombies battle for neighborville doesn't run on linux out of the box but it does offline with <Link removed by moderator> thing is on linux they load inconsistently. Most of the time the game will open up but give a black screen and you gotta open winecfg in the same prefix go to libraries and press okay and that makes it boot only for the next time you open up the game

I've already tried adding in WINEDLLOVERRIDES=RtWorkQ=n,b;rtworkq=n,b %command%

Justification [optional]

Wine users wont be doing this amount of trickery with games?

Risks [optional]

References [optional]

Here's source for another dll that makes the game semi offline which also works on linux but is also inconsistent (this requires some PRE-EAAC files of the game as well like the last dll) (makes it so that people with the dll can play together)

Hello @Twig6943, we're tracking issues with game modifications with the compatibility report of the game they're modifying. We're also using one issue report per unofficially supported game title, so I've gone ahead and transferred this issue report to https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/4978#issuecomment-3734629807.

Additionally, a legally problematic link in this issue report was removed.
