Linux setup guide to get YURI working

Seems to be working on linux with no issues, just need to follow the steps given
Making this just in case someone doesn't know how to make wilds work, how to make reframework work, or how to install dependencies on a wine prefix

Not gonna teach how to setup fluffy manager in detail but it's really simple with bottles

• Give bottles access to the steam directory
• Create a bottle for application
• Extract fluffy inside the bottle

Making MH:Wilds not crash or glitch as often (NVidia only)

I recommend the following env vars in case you have problems opening wilds, and use "Proton Hotfix", using experimental can make denuvo kick you out of the game for 24h since it updates quite often and every prefix change counts like a new pc for the DRM

PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU=1 VKD3D_DISABLE_EXTENSIONS=VK_NV_low_latency2 VKD3D_CONFIG=force_host_cached __GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE=1 __GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_SKIP_CLEANUP=1

VKD3D_DISABLE_EXTENSIONS=VK_NV_low_latency2 is used to prevent crashes
PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU=1 is used to prevent graphical glitches
The rest is to avoid recompiling shaders on every launch (not always needed)
We can still use FSR and FrameGen to get somewhat decent performance
The next section explains how to set these in case you don't know

Making REFramework work

First download reframework, I recommend nightly for the time being since the game just released but in a couple of months we should prob change to stable

Extract the file dinput8.dll (only this file) on the root directory of MH:Wilds installation (on steam, right click -> Manage -> Browse local files)

MonsterHunterWilds/
  ├── dinput8.dll (This is REFramework)
  └── MonsterHunterWilds.exe

Then go to steam and open the properties of MH:Wilds, on launch options use the following:
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8=n,b" %command%
You can add more env vars here in the same way, for example using mangohud and gamemode
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8=n,b" MANGOHUD=1 gamemoderun %command%

Installing dependencies on a wineprefix

The easiest way is to use "Protontricks"

• Download the .NET Desktop Runtime for windows x64
• Open protontricks
• Select "Monster Hunter Wilds" and click "OK"
• Select "OK" on all error dialogs (like 4 or 5 will appear, don't worry about those)
• Select "Select the default wineprefix" and click "OK"
• Select "Run an arbitrary executable (.exe/.msi/.msu)" and click "OK"
• Select the installer we downloaded on the first step and install like normal windows software
• Select "Cancel" on protontricks to go to the previous menu dialog
• Select "Cancel" on protontricks to exit

Setup YURI Overlay

Follow the relevant instructions for YURI Overlay on modnexus

I appreciate the effort of making a detail instruction! No doubt it will be really useful for a lot of players!

If I can help with anything related to linux just let me know, really like your mods, used them a lot in Rise c:

[ripps818]

Is there a way to prevent the reframwork.net debug window from showing up? If you're using gamescope to enable hdr, it can take over the screen and there's no native way that I know to switch the top layer window.

[DeadKper]

Haven't found a way yet, probably asking praydog will get us an answer, but since I don't have a HDR monitor I'm just not using gamescope on it for the time being

Thanks a lot for the guide, works like a charm on my Fedora setup.
