The Elder Scrolls: Legends

What works

Installs from Steam and works great, just need a few workarounds to set up then it runs perfect.

What does not

When running the game you will be faced with a black screen due to some d3d11 incompatibilities, but the workaround is simple enough.

also the game can't be found in your steam library until it is installed, which is a problem because the steam store doesn't load on wine, but you can get the app to sideload through the terminal with the apps steam id#

see workarounds to get it all going.

Workarounds

The first caveat to getting this to install through steam is getting by the fact that their store does not load do to CEF framework not currently being supported in wine which the store uses, but we can get around that.

in a terminal, run "wine Steam.exe -applaunch 364470" (also you can take note of that and just change the number to the steam store page ID# of any other app you are trying to install through steam but cant see in the apps store.)

the next caveat is getting around the d3d11 causing a black screen.

if you don't have winetricks installed install it with  "sudo apt install winetricks"

run winetricks and on the menu select the default wineprefix /ok

then on next window select run winecfg /ok

on the applications tab i set it to windows 10

and then on the libraries tab in the New overide for library field type d3d11 and hit add

then in existing overrides select d3d11 hit edit and select disable.

apply, ok, and you're all set!

ymmv
