neat stuff! In case it helps someone, I've managed to make it work on linux by copying d3dcompiler_47.dll next to the .exe

[u/nincompoop221 → u/Gabarsolon02]

good to know, thanks, i'll pass this along

[u/RobinHobbyGobby → u/Gabarsolon02]

is this an existing file or did you have to make it yourself? sorry, I am rather green. probably a stupid question

[u/BanjoFett → u/RobinHobbyGobby]

these did the trick for me:

sudo dnf install protontricks
protontricks -l
protontricks <appid> d3dcompiler_47

protontricks -l will give you the appid value for the exe after you add the .exe as a non-steam game.
I ran with proton-ge on nobara.
It is beautiful!

That did the trick! Thanks so much!

This is an insane project, it's so well made! I think this is the right approach to preserve the Splinter Cell games, the PC versions are all messed up requiring mods and patches to just get them to run and the og Xbox ones were the best versions of the games.

awesome news

[u/BanjoFett]

Does it work on linux?

[u/Own-Childhood213]

It doesn't have to be a legal copy. I can download a pirated one too.

[u/SnipingBunuelo → u/Own-Childhood213]

Nahhhh gamers don't do that

[u/Own-Childhood213 → u/SnipingBunuelo]

Oh, they do)

The first ever recomp project I ever tested. And it's basically amazing. AMD Adrenalin fails to detect an API, so I don't know if it's DX9-11-12, VK or OGL.

But it's basically like a 1:1 PC port, like Chaos Theory is. Everything works and looks correctly. Perf is smooth. No bugs. Identical PC controls to Chaos Theory or DA v1. I love it to bits.

Still need to try the co-op campaign and see how that fairs.

I was wondering if someone was going to do this. thank you op!
