Second protontricks.
Also, when you open random exes with proton tricks, it will give you a list of existing proton instances. If you have a decent steam library already using proton, it’s going to be a list of installed games. If a game on there uses the dll that you need, you can just pick that game and you don’t need to setup anything, it already is.
I asked Google for a list of games that use directx9c, and it gave me Fallout: New Vegas, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Portal (early builds/legacy render paths), Left 4 Dead 2, and Mirror’s Edge. L4d2 is free I think, so you can just install this game then run your game through that proton instance. Zero headache.
This probably has some hidden caveat I’m not aware of, I’m just trying to play games.





How are they on a soapbox? They made a relevant comment in a related comment section. They are very on topic and discussing OPs post. You’re kinda on a soapbox though, aren’t you?
