DRM freedom from hell. DOOM (2016) has just released on GOG and there's a nice big discount to go along with the release.

    I’m getting suck on a black screen. I have tried proton-GE and proton experimental. I have also tried vulkan and without.

    What should I try next?

    Kernel: Linux 6.14.2-arch1-1
nvidia: 570.133.07
DE: KDE Plasma 6.3.4
WM: KWin (Wayland)

      I haven’t had any luck getting it to run either, and I’ve tried quite a few different proton versions, both via heroic games launcher but also via bottles. No luck at all.

      EDIT: Asked someone on nobara’s discord and they suggested installing “vcrun2022” via winetricks, and sure enough, that made it start. Maybe there’s some DLL file that mfc140 and vcrun2022 share that was needed?

        Thanks it worked. I installed both mfc140 and vcrun2022, I don’t know which one did the trick.

      Yeah, the only way to not get spyware on Linux is either GOG or the high seas. Although pirating on windows can lead to worse situations depending on a number of factors.

          Some cracks have viruses, Trojans, Rootkits and the like. Playing them on Linux via Wine can completely nullify most security and privacy issues caused by these threats.
