So, here's how I've tried to do this:
Still just a black screen at startup.
The black screen on startup was happening for me until I installed vcrun2015, which solved it. Have you tried creating the prefix through lutris?
Add a lutris game as "Wine", then type in a folder where you want the prefix to be created (doesn't have to exist yet).
Fill out the rest of the lutris info, e.g. wine version, DXVK, etc, and then click Save.
Click the dropdown next to the wineglass icon (near the
playbutton), and click "Open Wine console".It will take a second to create your prefix, then it will open a console. Just exit out of the console.
Go back to the wineglass dropdown and click "Winetricks"
Wait for it to load, then do "Select the default prefix wineprefix" -> "Install a Windows DLL or component" -> select
vcrun2015-> Click OK.It will install it in the background, and it should reopen the winetricks GUI when it's done. If it doesn't open the winetricks GUI, it might have failed. Try again and hope it works
After it installs, fill out the rest of the Lutris configuration and try to launch it with that prefix.
Yeah, I'm afraid that's exactly what I've done, no difference.
Very strange. You could try installing
vcrun2017orvcrun2019to see if one of those works instead, but otherwise my wine's configuration doesn't have anything special going on. I specifically made a new wine prefix every configuration attempt, and installing vcrun2015 was reproduceably the step that allowed the game to launch.I have an AMD card, though that shouldn't matter. You can potentially check the lutris log for the game to see if anything useful gets printed there. In my experience it rarely prints anything useful.
To my knowledge, wine isn't really that complicated - there's only a couple important components that decide whether something's going to run or not, and I don't think it should really change on a per-system basis outside of maybe GPU drivers.
Did you get Heavy Rain to work at least?
Edit: Also I can at least say with certainty that if you're using Steamless + Goldberg to defeat the DRM that that is not where the problem is. The game itself is having trouble running for whatever reason.
