Getting rid of Games for Windows - LIVE (for retail patches)

This tool can be used to get rid of GFWL if you're not interested in official GFWL multiplayer and Xbox Live achievements. This will reduce the amount of hassle and setup you have to do.

Getting ScriptHookDotNet and IV-SDK .NET to work on Linux#

By default, neither of those two will run on Linux. That can be fixed, however. These instructions will assume you are an experienced Linux user, so if you don't get something - Google it.

Instructions

  1. Set up Proton-GE.

  2. Go to Proton-GE's gamefixes directory (location's different if using Flatpak):

    ~/.local/share/Steam/compatibilitytools.d/GE-Proton9-10/protonfixes/gamefixes-steam/

  3. Open 12210.py in a text editor and add the following line at the end of the file:

    util.protontricks('dotnet472')

  4. Force the game to use Proton-GE.

  5. Run the game and wait until .NET installs (may take from 5 to 30 minutes).
