Clearly someone who does not understand the purpose of this tool, what format it comes in, and why it would be flagged

This is an incredibly good fix, Rose. You really widened the view properly (not just a 'zoom').

Funny thing is, in the main menu, you can see her face (at 16:9) kinda fall of the screen a bit, and properly positioned again in restored mode; almost as if widescreen was the originally intended mode.

This is amazing, and works great in Windows, but any suggestions on getting it to run in Linux? I can open the application using Wine, but functionality does not work at all. I assume because the application is naturally assuming you are using a Windows OS, and is searching for game installation files under a Windows structure. Wine creates a pseudo Windows structure, but is obviously a bit different. Of course, this was never meant to work this way, but any suggestions on potentially getting this working under Linux? Perhaps a way to hardcode installation file locations or some other workaround? Thanks!

Perhaps this would be of help.

Thanks, I missed that! Unfortunately my version is on Epic, but this might still help.

I worked out how to get this working in Linux, and it was far easier than I expected. I was attempting to run the .exe as a "Wine Windows Program Loader" and "winebrowser". Both of these resulted in the application opening as expected, but when pressing the hotkey to 'enable' I was not getting the green to indicate that it was running (probably because it wasn't...)

The solution, was running the .exe as a "wscript". I have absolutely no idea what the difference is between these three loaders, as they're all Wine, but obviously there's something. No need to run as sudo, no need to place the .exe in any special location. I also used Bless Hex Editor to fix the DoF issue. Looks amazing. Thanks, Rose.

Is this working with the current steam version still? I'm opening the tool after launch, and following the other steps with no change.

After reading through old comments, I found my issue. I also have a keyboard with F9 not enabled on default!

Hi @w00dy, what do you mean by wscript, how did you run it?

I have a Steam version and the tool launches via protontricks -c 'wine ~/Downloads/detroit......exe' 1222140
but F9 does nothing, no green.

Apologies for the very delayed response. wscript no longer works on my end, either. I'm investigating alternative methods, but no luck so far.

@Rose unfortunately my previous solution of getting this to work on Linux no longer works. I have been doing some testing, and reading through the comments in this thread, and I have a hypothesis on what might be wrong. I can get your application to run in a number of ways, including through wine, wscript (which previously worked), and using the protontricks method you suggested from the RDR2 thread. The application opens, all hotkeys work, other than the F9 enable/disable button, which I can't get to work no matter what I try (by 'work', I mean they will light green for a few seconds when pressed).

Looking through the comments here, I assume I'm not getting the enable/disable to work because your app isn't recognising that the game is running (which I open before your application, as per the instructions). May I ask, how does your application determine that the process is running? Is it by application name? I ask as I have found that the game appears with the process name of 'DetroitBecomeHu'. See my attachment, where i have taken a screenshot of the GNOME system monitor, and a similar system monitor called htop. If your application is looking for a process called 'DetroitBecomeHuman.exe', then perhaps this is why the application is not working.

TL;DR: your application runs, and appears to be working, but does not recognise that the game is running.

Perhaps these instructions would be of help. There were also messages about getting the trainers to see the games here.

Other than that, your thought process is on point. If the aforementioned suggestions do not help at all, trying to figure out why the process name is that and correcting it could be useful.

Thanks for the super quick response! I will try out your new suggestions. Thanks for the help!

ATTENTION LINUX (STEAM) USERS

If you are having difficulties using this mod, you may find the following helpful. I was having difficulties getting the mod to work (as you may have seen above), not because I couldn't open the application, but because the F9 enable button did not work. It is hypothesized this was because the application was not able to see the game was open, potentially because of a mismatch of opening the application in one Wine prefix, and the game opening in another.

How I got this to work was to use Steam Tinker Launch. This package "is a versatile Linux wrapper tool for use with the Steam client which allows for easy graphical configuration of game tools". By using this tool I could configure the ultrawide mod exe to open at the same time with DBH through Steam.

My system is running Arch and the GNOME desktop environment. I do not believe the Proton version, Wine version, or Steam version matters.

- Installation -

This will of course depend on your OS, but for arch with YAY it was as easy as:

yay -S steamtinkerlaunch

If you're unfamiliar with how to install on your system, check out the Steam Tinker Launch guide above.

Before continuing, make sure Steam is closed.

In a terminal, run the following command. This will add Steam Tinker Launch as a compatibility option in Steam:

steamtinkerlaunch compat add

The terminal will output something about creating a new symlink and pointing it to the appropriate location.

- Configuration -

Open Steam, go to your library, find Detroit: Become Human in the list. Right-click > Properties > Compatibility. Tick 'Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool', then select 'Steam Tinker Launch' from the list.

If you don't see Steam Tinker Launch, close and reopen Steam, restart your computer, and/or re-run the 'steamtinkerlaunch compat add' command from above.

Close the properties window down, and click 'play' to start the game.

When the game begins to load, you will be greeted by a new Steam Tinker Launch window, which will only stay active for a few seconds. If you don't click anything it will launch the game, but to stop this from happening, click 'Main Menu' at the bottom-right of the window before it disappears.

Another window will appear, with some DBH information at the top. You can ignore most of the buttons here, and select 'GAME MENU' from the list of buttons along the bottom of the window.

Yet another window will appear. Here you will want to select (buttons found near the top):

- Use custom command

- Fork custom command

Between 'Use custom command' and 'Fork custom command' there is 'Custom command'. By default this will contain the game's main exe file (DetroitBecomeHuman.exe). Click that and select @Rose's mod exe (in my screenshots below I renamed it to dbh.exe, but by default this will be 'Detroit Become Human ultrawide 0.9.9.exe').

Click 'SAVE AND PLAY' at the bottom.

- Finalising -

That is everything. Now the game will launch, but it will also launch the ultrawide mod exe. When the game is up and running you can alt-tab or super-key out of the game, and use F9 to enable the tool. You will get an indication it is working by the text changing green. Now you can use the tool as expected!

Thanks to @Rosefor pointing me in the right direction. I can't take much credit for these instructions here, as I took them from this Reddit thread here.

 

@w00dy I tried it, seems to work. 👍
