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):
DXVK_HUD=version mangohud %command% -cefNoD3D11 -cefNoBlacklist -webHudUrl=https://otterhud.github.io/
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.

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?
