I'm using prime-run wine64 ./SHProto/Binaries/Wine64/SHProto-Win64-Shipping.exe but it hangs on a black screen after the splash screen with no obvious error messages. Anyone have a fix that works?

      Two things:

      One: It does not work with the default install directory selected. Z:\Games\xyz maps to /Games/xyz which you do not have permission to write. Install to C:\Games\xyz and the game will land in the drive_c folder of the active wine prefix (it is a good idea to use a separate WINEPREFIX for each game / program, so you can tweak WINE's settings individually, but this is not necessary. The default is ~/.wine)

      Two: I need to run the installer in a virtual desktop. Run winecfg, go to Graphics, enable "Emulate a virtual desktop." This can be disabled after installing the game.

      It's been a while since I fiddled with these, but setting the compatibility mode to Windows XP might have helped too. I'm testing one now (Dark Souls 3) and only the first two steps were necessary.

    I haven't tried, but you might have better luck with the DODI repack, they tend to work better on linux than the fitgirl ones from what I've heard.

    I had a similar problem with Dark Souls and the problem was it was trying to use a Windows Movie Maker file and I did not have the package for that installed. Are there any files like that in the game folder? Can't access my computer right now but if it isn't solved in a few hours I will try it on my puter.

    i installed the RUNE crack it's based on using Lutris and it worked for me running as a non steam game. sorry it's not very helpful. i guess you could try the RUNE installer instead of the repack. can I ask how do you get the fitgirl installers to not run out of memory on Linux? happens to me with most of them it seems. does anyone have a workaround for this? i've been trawling reddit threads for ages lol. maybe Lutris is the problem but i thought it just called wine for you?
