Note: This a guide for Lutris not Steam. I couldn’t get Spider-man - Shattered Dimensions to work via Steam on Linux.
Follow the below instructions:
-
Copy installation files to a folder
-
Create a new 64 bit wine prefix
2.1) WINEPREFIX=”path/to/spider-man-wine-prefix” winecfg -
Install a couple of tools and dlls using winetricks prior to installing the game
3.1) WINEPREFIX=”path/to/spider-man-wine-prefix” winetricks d3dx9_43
3.2) WINEPREFIX=”path/to/spider-man-wine-prefix” winetricks dinput8
3.3) WINEPREFIX=”path/to/spider-man-wine-prefix” winetricks xact -
Install a custom game using Lutris
4.1) Use the ‘+’ sign on the top left corner of the lutris home screen to Add a new game.
4.2) Give the game a Name, and for the Runner, choose Wine.
4.3) Under Game options add the following
4.3.1) Executable: point to the exe used to install the game.
4.3.2) Arguments: leave blank
4.3.3) Working directory: leave blank
4.3.4) Wine prefix: point to the wine prefix created previously.
4.3.4.1) path/to/spider-man-wine-prefix
4.3.5) Prefix architecture: leave it to Auto (default)
4.4) Leave the runner options as-is. If your kernel supports Fsync, enable it; then disable Esync.
4.5) Leave the System options to default.
4.6) Launch the setup exe using the game shortcut through lutris home screen.
4.6.1) Install the game and quit the setup window once done. -
Reconfigure Game shortcut on lutris homescreen
5.1) Right click the shortcut and select configure.
5.1.1) Under Game options, modify the Executable path.
5.1.1.1) /path/to/spider-man-wine-prefix/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Activision/Spider-Man™ - Shattered Dimensions/Launcher_MC.exe
5.1.2) Do not launch the game yet. -
Traverse to the installation path in the terminal
6.1) cd /path/to/spider-man-wine-prefix/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Activision/Spider-Man™ - Shattered Dimensions
Launch the game using ./Game.exe. Then try changing the resolution to crash the game at least once.
6.2) Then launch the game using ./Launcher_MC.exe
Make sure that launching “Launcer_MC.exe” offers you to reset the settings to default.
6.3) Then continue to launch the game, and under options, under graphics settings, set the preset to ultra, then quit the game. -
Modify registry settings for the game.
7.1) WINEPREFIX=”path/to/spider-man-wine-prefix” wine regedit
Set the below settings.
7.1.1) Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER>SOFTWARE>Activision>Spider-Man ™ SD>Settings>Display.

7.1.2.1) AspectRatio 3(3)

Launch lutris from the terminal
8.1) Just type in lutris and it should launch along with console output, so if you need to troubleshoot you can look at the console output once you launch the game and exit it.
8.2) Launch the game using the shortcut via lutris homescreen. Everything should now be working fine. -
