Steam - System Information

steam-40960.log (with FFLauncher.exe)

I tried to rename Stronghold2.exe to FFLaucher.exe but no success.

$ STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH=~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/40960 ~/.steam/steam/compatibilitytools.d/proton/proton run ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/40960/pfx/drive_c/windows/system32/winecfg.exe
And set msvcr100.dll and msvcp100.dll to builtin.

And FFLauncher.exe is a .NET application. Since proton doesn't have mono support yet. You need to rename rename Stronghold2.exe to FFLaucher.exe, then it will launch.

$ file msvcp100.dll
msvcp100.dll: PE32+ executable (DLL) (GUI) x86-64, for MS Windows
$ file FFLauncher.exe
FFLauncher.exe: PE32 executable (GUI) Intel 80386, for MS Windows

So it seems to be the game is installing a msvc runtime of wrong architecture. On Windows, there is a dll architecture check[1] when loading dlls, whereas wine currently loads the first found.
