Re: Linux: Anyone install WITP AE as a non steam game using Proton?

Using ubuntu-mate 22.04 LTS and vanilla wine 8.20 (not proton), it works good for me.

I did have to do 3 things to get things good...
1. fonts - I copied all the fonts from a windows install into the windows/fonts directory.
2. music - Had to install gstreamer1.0-libav:i386 for music to work.

Ability to set TOE on Air Bases.
