I have this game, but I didn't play it with wine. I can try to install and play it when I back home.

Just bumping this in case anyone has anymore info. Just saw LA Noire on sale in the Humble Store...tempted but not if it doesn't work!

Hello,

I can not launch this game with Wine, someone is luckier than me here?

![]([/img]Finally it works!!!
Look at this video (it is not mine):

The author said:
"On the 32-bit PREFIX in winetricks install dotnet35, go to the folder "3rd" and install DXSETUP.exe. After doing this, change the version to windows 7. Install DXVK in 32-bit and Social Club: https://support.rockstargames.com/hc/en-us/articles/200146066-Manual-Link-to-Social-Club-Application-Download Turn on Steam and the game, ignore the .net package installer. You will probably see the option "Offline mode", select it. In the launcher enter the game options and set directx11. Try to start the game."

I installed Steam, dotnet 3.5sp1 and directx10-11 with Winetricks, in a 32 bits wine prefix.
After Steam installed the game, I didn't launch it, I installed Social-Club-Application from the link above.
Then I installed DXVK, renamed the package dotnetfx35.exe located in the ressources folder "3rd" to dotnetfx35.exe.bak to avoid annoying .NET installation before each game launch.

In the options I just change the resolution with my desktop resolution and choose directx11.

My config: Ubuntu 18.04, NVIDIA 390.24 official Ubuntu drivers + Wine 3.10-staging-lutris + DXVK 0.64
I tried with Wine 3.13 (non staging) and it didnt work, I think you have to use staging version for this game and a recent wine version.

A lot of thanks to Wine Team and DXVK author, they made it possible!

One thing that is a mystery for me:
This game launched ONLY with Wine-staging-3.10 downloaded from Lutris site:
https://lutris.net/files/runners/ wine-staging-3.10-i686.tar.gz

I tried today with last Wine version 3.13 and 3.13-staging without success.
I opened bugs here:
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44076

Did you try with Lutris?

Does L.A. Noire works via DX9 or via DX11 renderer? In other words - does it require Vulkan support? I ask because my GPU is 540m and it doesn't have support for Vulkan :(

I can only launch the DX11 version with Wine-staging + DXVK.
With DX9 version I can not login.

Thanks,
that's exactly what I was assuming. Will try it when my hardware is updated.

This fellow has an interesting video on LA Noire:

Hello,
Rockstar has updated his launcher for L.A.Noire and dotnet is no more needed.
It's easier to install and play this game now on Linux on Steam with Steamplay.

That's great news! I hope they do it for their other games as well.

How much of the 'sylver install guide' on ProtonDB is relevant now then?

edit: seems it installs fine without any extra steps with Proton 6.3-2, had to manually install some DirectX stuff to get proper graphics (d3dx11, xact, xinput, d3dcompiler, mdx) and the launcher doesn't quit when you exit the game.

edit2: also can't get widescreen fix or fps unlock to work, the game will not start if these kind of applications are running. Seriously RockStar can suck my £$€#¤%#¤%!
