There are some reports that games will work better with the Thrustmaster Windows drivers installed.

Installing the Windows drivers inside a proton prefix

  1. Install protontricks.

  2. Download the Thrustmaster drivers.

  3. Look up the ID of your game with protontricks -s NAME. For example:

    $ protontricks -s Dirt
Found the following games:
DiRT 3 Complete Edition (321040)
DiRT 4 (421020)
DiRT Rally (310560)
DiRT Rally 2.0 (690790)

To run Protontricks for the chosen game, run: $ protontricks APPID COMMAND

NOTE: A game must be launched at least once before Protontricks can find the
game.

  4. Run the driver installer with protontricks.

    protontricks -c 'wine ~/Downloads/DRIVER_INSTALL_EXE' APPID

    Dirt 4 for example:

    protontricks -c 'wine ~/Downloads/2022_TTRS_1.exe' 421020

Note that protontricks may change the working directory, so relative paths may end up not working as expected.

Installing the Windows drivers manually

Assuming you've already downloaded the installer:

WINE_PREFIX=/path/to/prefix wine ./DRIVER_INSTALL_EXE

Lutris is an excellent way to keep track of which non-steam games exist in which prefixes, and allows you to run executables in prefixes from a GUI if that's more your thing.
