I installed this https://github.com/nirenjan/x52pro-linux
HOTAS doesn't have lights but it works! Game runs perfectly, slightly choppier than on Windows but not bad at all!
Just as a PSA. wine-staging-4.11 on my Arch Linux installation seems to have broken the ED Launcher. The game selection menu/PLAY section did not appear.
After downgrading back to wine-staging-4.10, the launcher behaves as expected. I have no idea what in *4.11 was breaking and I don't have the time to investigate. Just thought I'd mention it to others here just in case.

I just tried wine-staging-4.11 on my Ubuntu installation and it worked fine.
Just a stab in the dark - but I think I've seen the "menu/PLAY section did not appear" issue previously when ED failed to close down (i.e. the process was still running in the background) - could that have been the cause?

Okay set up a new prefix, installed the launcher, and the same problem occurs. Couldn't log in because that last section is not dissplaying. Weirdly enough I could click where I knew the LOGIN button would be and a black rectangle the size of the login dialog appeared, but without the dialog's input widgets or text. So, something's amiss. Possibly how the wine-staging-4.11 package has been built on Arch, seeing as how it works on Ubuntu? Who knows.
Ach well. ED works perfectly fine for me on wine-staging-4.10 on Arch, so I'll revert to that for now and maybe when 4.12 is released it'll be fixed.

This has nothing to do with using (or not using) the option '/steam' in the command line?I just tried wine-staging-4.11 on my Ubuntu installation and it worked fine.

No - the '/steam' option no longer appears to be requiredThis has nothing to do with using (or not using) the option '/steam' in the command line?

This is what I don't get.Question for the First Poster: Is there any reason not to just mention that proton (4.2-9) and protontricks is everything you need to get E: D working now?
I literally "installed E: D" using steam, then ran
Code:protontricks 359320 dotnet40 protontricks 359320 win7
And the game works flawlessly.

Is this a root or user cmd.
Does it matter from which folder you run the cmd.

I went through a few versions of Wine... but not bottlesI can only imagine it must have been a fair few bottles of wine consumed to come up with the idea to install Elite on Linux...
