FlawlessWidescreen with Proton

[yordan]

Is there a way to make Flawlesswidescreen work with Proton? I'm using a 21:9 monitor and the experience is terrible without FWS.

The site says that it reportedly "runs very well under wine", I'd give it a try with the last development or staging version(use lutris if you can).

I tried running FWS using wine and then running the game(the same thing I would do in windows) but FWS doesn't detect the game.

You can run the program with wine, provided you set the proper "bottle" for it, i. e, the game's prefix, so the proper way to do that would be to set he WINEPREFIX environment variable to point to the game you are interested in as its value:

WINEPREFIX="/path/to/steamapps/compatdata/<app_id>/pfx" wine fws.exe

For instance, needless to say you will have to perform substitution of the path. IIRC FWS patches the .exe of some games, in which case, you will have to run it within the same directory of the game .exe or by making your Steam Library as part of the prefix, by means of linking, for example. But that's something you have to do in per-game basis.

You can do that with Proton as well, or wine within Proton if you provide the full path to the proton installation, for example /path/to/steamapps/common/Proton\ 4.11/dist/wine. In this example the '\' escapes the ' ' (space) character so that the shell knows it is part of the path, and not the end of the line.

If i do this then the game won't launch.
