Rocksmith 2014 Linux Bazitte anyone with Wine/mmdevapi experience?. Real Tone Cable not detected under Proton/Wine (WASAPI capture bug) — still broken as of 17-07-2026, need help

1 Upvotes

Legit Steam copy, launch crash fixed, but the Real Tone Cable never gets detected in-game (host audio sees it fine, Wine's WASAPI capture enumeration doesn't). Please see my troubleshooting document in the image for the full writeup/diagnosis.

Contacted Ubisoft support, only got generic Windows advice (different USB port/hub, reinstall drivers, upgrade to Windows... like I'll ever do that again) which doesn't apply here and didn't fix anything.

Anyone gotten a Real Tone Cable working under Proton, or have Wine/mmdevapi experience? Any help troubleshooting is appreciated.

Kind regards,

Joost Hebly

Linux (Proton) No audio in Bioshock 2 bootup intro and controller icons with mouse and keyboard

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

5 Upvotes

I don't know if this is an issue with Proton or something else so I'm just posting this here in case anyone has an answer for this issue.

Fedora 44, AMD graphics card and CPU, original game (not remaster). Footage shown is using Proton Hotfix on Steam and when I use older versions some audio plays but is cut off (differently with each version).

I haven't actually gotten into the game yet so I don't know if this issue will affect the gameplay audio and UI. This is the same after I uninstalled and reinstalled the game. I checked the audio, controller and graphics settings in game and no settings seem to be wrong.

MacOS Minecraft Dungeons with Crossover on MacBook Air M5

2 Upvotes

Minecraft Dungeons can run but there's just one big roadblock which is the Microsoft login not working. You're able to bypass it for a moment by exciting the login page immediately when pressing the "Let's Go" button. You'll be able to start the game and play on the first level, but after a few seconds, the authentication system will catch up and kick you out.

From the time I was able to play the game, it was actually really smooth. I really wish a patch comes out to fix this because this game is one of my favorites and it would be a shame for me to not be able to play anymore.

Technical concept: Running VM Computers mod on Android by using Wine as an isolated backend for VirtualBox 6.1.50

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I have a technical idea on how to finally port the VM Computers mod for Minecraft Java to Android, while maintaining multiplayer compatibility with PC players. Instead of running a heavy emulator inside MojoLauncher or PojavLauncher, we can split the tasks. Here is the proposed architecture:

  • Game Client: Minecraft runs natively on Android (via MojoLauncher or PojavLauncher) for maximum FPS. The original PC version of the VMComputers.jar mod is used to avoid incompatibility errors when connecting to PC servers.
  • Backend Container: Winlator runs in the background strictly as an isolated x86/x64 environment to run VirtualBox version 6.1.50 (the exact version required by the mod). VirtualBox is configured to use Software Recompiler mode to bypass the lack of hardware VT-x/AMD-V virtualization support on ARM chips.
  • Kernel Bypass: Since Winlator and Wine cannot load Windows kernel drivers (like VBoxDrv.sys), we can implement a custom stub/wrapper driver. This stub will mock kernel responses, intercept low-level VirtualBox memory requests, and redirect them into user-mode API calls that Wine can easily handle.
  • Bridge and Automation: We can modify the mod's Java code so that execution requests are sent via a local socket (localhost) directly into the Winlator container, instead of trying to look for a local VirtualBox.exe file. The startup process can be automated using Android Intents: when a player presses the Power button in Minecraft, Android will automatically launch Winlator and activate VirtualBox in the background.

This approach solves RAM and performance issues: 3D rendering stays native to Android, while OS emulation (for running the VM itself) is handled by Wine. What do you think? Can anyone make Wine for Android? Let's discuss!

MacOS Issues trying to download steam using wine

2 Upvotes

So, with my very limited knowledge, I'm trying to download a windows version of steam, which I can then use to download a game that I've been wanting to play on Mac. I've been using the exe file from the steam page, if that changes anything. After doing the whole looking for updates, downloading, and extracting things, it does it again. No idea why, but it might be important? However, after the second attempt, it pulls up a giant black square, which I presume is supposed to be steam. When attempting to close the box, it reopens itself later. The only way I've found to make it actually go away is to force quit it. If anyone has encountered this before or has any solutions, please let me know. My knowledge on this topic is extremely limited, so I probably won't understand much more than what I've posted here.

MacOS Problem with wineskin

Post image
0 Upvotes

i downloaded winskin on my computer last night, but ive been having issues with the app. I decided to watch a tutorial to see if it could help but nobody seems to have the same issue as I do, when i open the app it says in wrapper version that theres "No wrappers installed" so i cant really updated or do anything...

please help, I feel like ive downloaded a bunch of bullshit for no reason. I tried downloading the unofficial version of wineskin but when i open the website it just leads me to the same one?? so far ive been downloading it from sourceforge, and they dont rlly have anything on the official website either...

the whole reason why im downloading this anyways is to be able to run friday night mods on my mac, but the tutorial posted on gamebanana was ass, so if anyone knows how i can get the already downloaded mods to run in my mac id really appreciate it.

Noob question about .exe installation

0 Upvotes

Im trying to install Little Missfortune game, it comes in a ISO from Skidrow. I added the .exe to Steam, the installer opened, selected the instalation folder and when I clicked install, nothing happened, no errors, nothing, but it didnt install.

I tried again with lutris, same thing. Tried with ProtonTricks, runwineconfig, setting up another drive, runexplorer and trying install from there, same problem.

I have installed the game previously using the same installer (on windows) and it worked

Any more ideas?
