HowTo / Notes

Installation how-to with all workarounds

Use DXVK

Update winetricks to latest version:
sudo winetricks --self-update
Install dxvk:
winetricks dxvk

Disable Easy Anti-Cheat

This is the hardest part. Game uses Easy Anti-Cheat which is currently not supported under Wine. Follow the instructions:
https://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Far_Cry_5#Disable_Easy_Anti-Cheat
Game installation directory () is in .../steam/steamapps/common/FarCry5/.

Disable Uplay overlay

Run Uplay and disable overlay in settings

Change Uplay to work in offline mode

If the game crashes while connecting online then you need to run it in offline mode. Run it once, let it crash and in Uplay change setting to offline mode:
How do I launch the Uplay PC client in Offline Mode?
Unfortunately you won't be able to play online, so no co-op and multiplayer.

Steering issue

Use native 64bit dinput8 from Windows 7. Windows 10 version is not working. For some reason winetricks version of the library was not good, you need to get/find proper dll yourself.
Put it in "bin" in the installation directory.
Set dinput8 to native, you can do that by environment variable:
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8=n"
You can also set dinput8 in winecfg as "native,builtin".

Stutters

On the first run game stutters. Run benchmark from setting to compile most of the shaders. On second run you will get much better frame rates.

Shader cache (Steam only)

If game does not start it may be cause by incompatible shaders cache. Steam downloads pre-compiled shaders to speed up startup, try deleting the cache directory: .../steamapps/shadercache/552520
