U right the proton build in wine = in steam but if there is any kind of contract between steam and rockstar they can make fix directly in proton.
And for the pirated game just make game without drm I will buy them
Yeh and if they make that fix in Proton, the Lutris Wine build will inherit it, right? We can also use the Steam Wine/Proton builds in Lutris. So I still see no reason why the Steam version will have more of a chance of working…
Please keep the pirated games talk out of this thread. I don’t want it to get locked. Thanks.
Anyone made any progress yet? I’m still getting the same thing - Try to launch the game but nothing happens then the Rockstar games launcher just quits 
Ok. The Steam version is out now. Let’s see what Valve can do with Proton…
Doesn’t look so good at the moment:

I was hoping Valve had been working on getting it running in the month+ they had leading up to the Steam release. They must’ve been… But I guess they haven’t quite got it sussed yet. That Rockstar launcher appears to be the main issue here as it still causes issues for Windows users… I’m sure we’ll be able to play this eventually!
I hope so, too. And keep my fingers crossed.
Anyone tried proton ge
I’ve seen people on the Steam forums and Protondb saying they have, but none of them have got it working As for me, I’ve just tried the builds that come with Lutris.
I did, too. No success.
There’s a new install script up. Still doesn’t work for me 
Anyone else had any luck?
Same here, can get the launcher running but the game doesnt start. Getting this error instead of waiting for child.
002d:fixme:win:GetWindowPlacement not fully supported on other process window 0x100a0.
I’m so surprised this isn’t working yet… Has anyone managed to get the game to launch at all or heard of anyone that has?
It appears some people are now able to run it!: https://www.protondb.com/app/1174180
I don’t have the Steam version so I’m going to have a go with the current Rockstar Games Launcher version on Lutris and then tell it to use the custom Proton build. Hopefully I’ll have some luck.
Is there anyone who can update the Lutris installers to make them use the custom Proton build, or is it just a case of waiting for the fixes to make it into the Lutris WINE runner?
Hi,
I made it run by installing the Rockstar Games Launcher version and switched the Wine Version to the proton-5.0-rdr2-3 from codeweavers.
proton-5.0-rdr2-3.tar.gz
So long it works pretty good. Strangely I wasnt able to make Lutris find the newer Proton-5.0-rdr2-4 version. dont realy know why.
But it is pretty easy to make it run.
Oh wait, if you have a Nvidia GPU you will ned NVIDIA 440.66.15 Vulkan beta Driver installed.
Cool 
I just tried the 2-4 version and it wouldn’t even launch the Rockstar Games Launcher. I’ve tried downloading the 2-3 version but there’s an issue with it. The ‘dist’ folder is missing when I extract it. I’ll try downloading it again…
I use an AMD GPU, by the way.
I found it:
I renamed proton-5.0-rdr2-4 to Proton-5.0-rdr2-4 and started a game in steam. After this the proton version has been found from lutris.
In Version Proton-5.0-rdr2-3 there is a file proton_dist.tar.gz you can extract and rename the folder to dist. And then it will show up in steam.
Your AMD GPU needs to know some new vulkan features, so I dont know if this on stock drivers or if you need a special one.
I think there may be a typo in what you said there. Do you mean you renamed it to ‘Proton 5.0’? I tried doing that but I couldn’t get Steam to recognise it. Steam just thinks that the default 5.0-9 is is still there even though I removed it.
I’ve tried both the 2-3 & 2-4 custom builds via Lutris but it still doesn’t launch. I’ve just been pointing Lutris to the wineserver & wine64 files - is that the right way to do it? Maybe if I can get them to run in Steam first it will work, I’m not sure.
I have one of the new AMD GPUs - the 5700. I’m on Manjaro so the drivers tend to be quite up to date, but maybe some newer testing version is needed. But for now, I can’t even get these custom Proton builds to work, at all. I’m not sure what I need to do…
Cheers.
Sorry for my bad english. I basically changed the first letter p to a “capital” P, nothing elese, and then the proton version was found by lutris.
In Lutris you will only need to change the Wine Version to the Proton-5.0-rdr2-4 or 3 version. Thats it.
As mentioned here you will need to add this patch to the driver. (what ever this means in detail.)
