I used to play DOS2 on windows where i had to change the graphicsSettings.lsx so i could play but that asside it worked fine.
https://steamcommunity.com/app/230230/d … 827091531/ (the fix)
Now i have moved to Arch and am trying to get DOS2 to work.
This is what i have tried so far:
Changing versions of proton on steam: The newest one doesn't launch the game at all. Proton 5.0-10 and earlier start launch.
Installing winetricks, EoCApp.exe SupportTool.exe, installing the xact library to the DOS2 WINE prefix:

No visible improvement.
In Enhanced Edition there was a bug that messed with mesa drivers. Tried this fix hoping it would help:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/St … ed_Edition
I also installed other drivers hoping it would start the game. Vulkan-radeon lib32-mesa.
So far i get the game to launch into blackscreen for it to crash or i get the game to start running but no gamescreen appears.
Any suggestions or help is much appreciated.
EDIT: starting EoCApp.exe directly from gamefiles starts the game in DE, now i only have display issues.

I know i'ts been 4 years since this post, but since i ran into this same issue, i have found 2 workarounds on this issue:
1. Running EoCApp.exe from gamefiles via Wine (as OP suggested)
2. On steam launch options set PROTON_USE_WINE3D3=1 %command%.
3. Additionally, you can also add EoCapp.exe as a non-steam executable and then just run your custom commands there in case opt.2 doesn't work.
Opt2 seems to be the better approach since you will still get the Proton Compatibility layer and steam overlay
