[Improvement Wiki] - Updated instructions (again) for Steam Deck/Linux users (Proton)

[Deytron]

I don't know if this is the right place for that, feel free to close the issue and move it if needed

Starting with Proton 8.0, Linux users don't need to do anything with protontricks anymore, as it looks like included libraries with newest Wine versions work properly now. What's left is just the DLL override.

New instructions

Make sure you've installed Cyber Engine Tweaks with your preferred mod manager, or manually (not recommended). You can find guides on the Internet to mod Cyberpunk 2077 on your machine

If you bought the game on Steam

• Open your Steam client
• Make sure the Proton version you're using is at least Proton 8.0-1 or Experimental by right clicking on Cyberpunk 2077 > Properties > Compatibility tab
• Head back to the General tab, and at the bottom, add the following argument in the Launch options box:

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="version=n,b" %command%

If you plan on using Red4ext, which is necessary for a lot of mods, you will also need to add something:

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="version=n,b;winmm=n,b" %command%

If you bought the game on GOG

• Open Lutris
• Right click on the game > Settings > Runner options
• While newer versions of Lutris can use Proton, it is advised you use Wine-GE instead. Make sure you're using at least lutris-GE-Proton8-1

• Scroll down to DLL overrides, click on Add to add a key. Add the following keys: The winmm key is used for Red4ext.

That's pretty much it. Right when launching the game, you should get a prompt to bind a key for the menu.
