CrewChief on Linux

#Tutorial Date: 12/12/2024
#This is for: 211500 (ACC), if you are installing for another game use that game ID

#If not raceroom, find game id with bellow command:
grep name ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/appmanifest_*
------------
Install protontricks and winetricks on your distro.
Install dotnet48 into the game vessel. 211500(raceroom) in this example, to install dotnet48:
-> All commands are as normal user (never root)

WINEPREFIX=~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/805550/pfx winetricks -q dotnet48
After dotnet48 installed, launch Crewchief installer:
protontricks-launch Downloads/CrewChiefV4.msi

On the window that opens select the game you installed dotnet48 for and finish the installation normally.

I usually run the new installed Crewchief with:
protontricks-launch --appid 805550 ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/805550/pfx/drive_c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/Britton\ IT\ Ltd/CrewChiefV4/CrewChiefV4.exe

-> Disable naudio.
-> Also make sure in the CrewChief prefs you are using nAudio for playback with “WASAPI” 
interface type. Otherwise CrewChief works for a few minutes and then hangs.

Adjust FOV on the chasecam:
<fovScale type="float32">0.73000002</fovScale>
Documents\My Games\SimBin\RaceRoom Racing Experience\UserData\graphics_options.xml

This makes the chase cam to have FOV 73
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Game not starting due to shaders build failure:
In Steam settings, 'Shader pre caching' menu option, disable all.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Start over:
You can always reset the WINEPREFIX that the game runs in:

For example raceroom, (each game has its own number)
/home/slemke/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/211500

So move it, like to 211500BKP and start the game, then a 'vanilla' 211500 is created.
Your game settings still are in 211500BKP so you can restore what you want.

#My Steam raceroom launch command(mangohud needs to be installed. 
#In Crewchief option enable raceroom HUD):

Thanks for the reply.
Do you mean the Sharedmemory plugin ?? If that's what I installed it.
If that's not what you mean, can you help me find the settings to be changed? A thousand thanks .

In RFactor2 it should be under ‘System’.

I ask you a last favor:
I am thinking that the problem is in the crewchief settings and I would like to make a comparison with your settings.
Even if you don't play Rfactor2, I would like to know your installation paths that are shown in the crewchief settings:

1. RF2 Install Path (or the name of your game)
2. RF2 Launch Exe (or the name of your game)
3. RF2 Launch Params (or your Appid)
   Can you copy them and paste below ??? I need to make a comparison with my settings.
   Thanks and sorry for the disorder.
   

Does tiny pedal work fine for you ? that would rule out any issue with the shared memory.

If it installs and starts fine, just does not work on the game, make sure this line is correct:
protontricks-launch --appid 805550 ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/805550/pfx/drive_c/Program\ Files\ (x86)/Britton\ IT\ Ltd/CrewChiefV4/CrewChiefV4.exe

Especifically the gameid that you can get with:
grep name ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/appmanifest_*

Note that the gameid is used 2 times on the launch command.

I have some problems translating into my language ....Regarding shared memory, what did you mean when you wrote: "The tiny pedal works well for you?" Il mar 11 feb 2025, 23:48 Sergio Rafael Lemke ***@***.***> ha scritto:

Thanks! this works fine, although the crewchief window freezes a lot. It still works with the window frozen but you can't change any setting. I've disabled naudio as suggested but that didn't help. The weird thing is, when I close my game (rF2) the window goes back to life

I'm using the original SharedMemoryMapPlugin and it seems to work fine under Wine. What's the difference in using that version?
