Wing Loader (KS/WCDX) Loader & Voice Over Mod

[Destro]

I found the solution.
And that's where this thread ends... 😅

...just kidding

The problem is that Proton doesn't use the patched ddraw.dll.
You have to use Steam/Proton override to tell it to use the ddraw.dll from the game directory.
Put in the Steam entry for the game under:
Properties -> Shortcut -> Launch Options:
WINEDLLOVERRIDES=“ddraw.dll=n,b” %command%
the line above, then it worked for me.
With the reference to the non-working patch, you steered me in the right direction. Thanks to you.

Glad to hear it. Enjoy.

Makes sense. In Wine (and therefor proton) , you have to specify if you are using a native library which is the windows library that comes with the app vs the built-in one which is wine's version. Built-in is default. Very important to note if you are attempting dll overrides in other apps.
