Installcab based Media Foundation workaround for Wine

December 2020 Notice

This may be broken with prefixes created with Proton 5.13, due to permission issues with how they symlink dll files.

May 2020 Notice

For many games this script is not needed anymore, and may soon not be needed at all.

This is largely thanks to work Guy1524 has done in officially implementing Media Foundation support into Wine. I would reccommend trying games with latest Proton-GE first, and only using this as a backup.

mf-installcab

Installcab based Media Foundation workaround for Wine

Just set WINEPREFIX and run install-mf-64.sh like this

WINEPREFIX="/dev/brain/wine prefixes can be anywhere/folder" ./install-mf-64.sh

Then copy the included mfplat.dll to the same directory as the .exe (e.g. re2.exe)

Steam stores Proton Wine prefixes as <STEAM FOLDER>/steamapps/compatdata/<GAME ID>/pfx

Optionally you can use Proton's Wine instead of your system's Wine. See script for how.

installcab.py is the same as upstream with very small differences (https://github.com/tonix64/python-installcab/blob/master/installcab.py)

Dependencies

• python
• cabextract
• wine (optional if proton used)

mf-installcab's Issues

Doesn't work with Darksiders Warmastered Edition

I'm using Proton 5.0-9 on Arch Linux

Fails to download windows6.1-KB976932-X64.exe

Seems the link is no longer accessible. Can't reach it normally either.

Python error when running install-mf-64

I am having a similar error to #3 but installing cabextract has not helped. I am running Debian Sid if that helps.
Here is the output of running WINEPREFIX="/home/user/.steam-firejail/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/compatdata/397540/pfx" ./install-mf-64.sh

Any ideas?

Update the Documentation

The documentation could use a little clarification regarding installation of this installer script. Specifically, you should mention that users need to launch the game first as that's what actually creates the "/home/user-name/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/883710/pfx" directory. I spent a good 15 minutes almost ripping my hair out before I figured this out lol. I made the mistake of downloading RE2 from Steam and then trying to install this script before actually launching the game. Just a heads up, keep up the good work!

RE 2 Demo crashes at first laptop CCTV video

RE 2 Demo crashes at first laptop CCTV video with Proton 5.0.3 64 bit.

Fix Broken on Resident Evil 2.

I have no idea if this has anything to do with Resident Evil 2 removing Denuvo, like idk if they changed anything else, but it seems now that this is broken for RE2. I got about 10 hours in-game with everything working perfectly, then I quit playing for a couple weeks and came back after they updated the game and removed Denuvo. Now, it crashes instantly, this is reproducible by going to the sewer where you put the VHS cassette in the VHS player and it plays the video. It crashes every time, at the same spot (where they call him a freak). And in the steam logs, you get this: 10440.892:0031:006c:trace:seh:call_teb_handler handler at 0x7bce09a0 returned 1 10440.892:0031:006c:warn:seh:call_stack_handlers exception data not found in L"MFPlat.DLL" Unhandled exception: page fault on read access to 0x738a814d1c8 in 64-bit code (0x000007ff6ba51649).

mf-install is ok, but I can't do the mf-installcab

Hey guys, I need some help. The first part runs ok, but when I try the second part ("WINEPREFIX="/home/ryanj/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/397540/pfx" ./install-mf-64.sh") it returns this:

can anyone help me please, I don't understand linux stuff very well

PS: my machine is an Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS

Windows File error

If you get an error such as the following:

Simply delete the Windows file and restart the script. I don't understand code but in essence, the file is corrupted.

Error installing to secondary hard drive

I run these commands:

And get these error message - it looks like its because RE2 is installed to an external hard drive.

I've tried running the same command with sudo I get a lot of xyz is not owned by you.

Is there a work-around?

Doesn't work with Age of Empires 2: DE videos

the videos for the 'art of war' missions aren't played.

Using GE Proton 5.8
Arch Linux latest version

Question: Is this compatible with the other fix?

So this one is Installcab based and it's been confirmed to work with at least 3 games, whereas the other fix (https://github.com/z0z0z/mf-install) is not Installcab based. However, if I apply this fix, does it also cover all the games from the other fix?

I cant reinstall this after having cancelled a previous download

so I tried to install this with the command

]$ sudo WINEPREFIX="/media/DocumentosEXT4/SteamLibrary/steamapps/compatdata/462780/pfx/" ./install-mf-64.sh

and it worked, but I cancedded the download.

Now I rebooted the pc, tried again, and now I cant. It says:

pc mf-installcab-master]$ sudo WINEPREFIX="/media/DocumentosEXT4/SteamLibrary/steamapps/compatdata/462780/pfx/" ./install-mf-64.sh mediafoundation windows6.1-KB976932-X64.exe: no valid cabinets found Traceback (most recent call last): File "installcab.py", line 304, in <module> output_files = extract_from_installer(cabfile, tmpdir, component) File "installcab.py", line 193, in extract_from_installer subprocess.check_output(cmd) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 223, in check_output raise CalledProcessError(retcode, cmd, output=output) subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command '['cabextract', '-F', '*mediafoundation*', '-d', '/tmp/tmppJwCcA', 'windows6.1-KB976932-X64.exe']' returned non-zero exit status 1

RE2 crashes on loading or loads infinitely

I have no idea how you managed to get this to run. Following the steps outlined in the readme, I compiled it and placed the library mfplat.dll into the game's directory (where re2.exe is located). Game starts, but crashes after the first truck cutscene. I was able to load a game from after this cutscene (gas station), but game loads infinitely after escaping.

I am running Gentoo linux btw. Cabeextract is installed, and python 3.6.10 is in use.

When running install-mf-64.sh, I get many errors, apparently the shell script is trying to access folders that do not exit.

Now you need to get mfplat.dll in your application directory`

wineprefix

Sorry but where should point the prefix? To the local files of the game in question or the specific compatdata/883710 because if it's the latter then it doesn't exist.

The wineprefix is setted right, the game has been started at least once so the directory is created, but I don't know why is failing.

Pummel Party (880940) is fixed by this too

The party game Pummel Party works almost perfectly on Proton but lacks the video preview of the minigames, installing this fixes it!

Borderlands 3 mf-installcab errors

Hi there,

Thanks for your efforts. Your solution seems to work for most people. I have the classic "watch the monitor" lock in borderlands 3, where I need to see a movie that doesnt show (I cant see lilith either).
Your scripts come highly recommended and I followed your reddit post. mf-install works for, which is brilliant. mf-installcab fails in particular way. The print out of the terminal is:

Now you need to get mfplat.dll in your application directory

I run Borderlands 3 on Ubuntu 20.10, with Steam, on Proton 5.13 (other versions of proton didnt work me). I had to install vulkan-tools, wine and winetricks to get as far as I have. Naturally I have placed the mfplat.dll in the directory as displayed in your youtube clip. I noticed that some other users had to replace the mfplat.dll; In my directory of the game there was nothing to replace it with, so I just copied it.

EDIT: I use nVidia driver 460.32.03

What to do?

The script doesn't run as user or root

Hi. I trying to run ./install-mf-64.sh on Fedora, but it doesn't work. If I try as user mode, I don't have permission and if I try to run as root, the command has not found.

Python Error: Missing module

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "installcab.py", line 8, in
import xml.etree.ElementTree
ImportError: No module named xml.etree.ElementTree

This is the error that I receive when using the script. I'm not sure how to resolve it. I'm on openSUSE Tumbleweed.

Command '['cabextract', '-F', '*mediafoundation*', '-d', '/tmp/tmpkklyyghe', 'windows6.1 ... .exe']' returned non-zero exit status 1.

After setting PROTON and WINEPREFIX variables i run script ./install-mf-64.sh -proton but got the error:

I've tried to run just the command that returned status 1 and got the error description:

Having Issues Getting this to Work with "Not for Broadcast"

I've tried this both with regular Proton, and with GloriousEggroll's version 5.8-GE-1-MF.

The continuous issue is that the videos will not play (I have no issue with audio or FPS). I looked here on ProtonDB, and only 1 person was able to get it to run perfectly, using Proton. 2 others got it working, but poorly, using Lutris.

A couple things to note that may or may not help:

• OS is Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
• 16 GB RAM, 4-core Intel i7-4770 CPU @ 3.40GHz, Radeon RX 570 Series (Besides the OS, I otherwise meet base system requirements)
  ** One thing- AMD doesn't have a specific driver for Ubuntu 20, the one I am using is open source. This shouldn't (?) be an issue since everything else works fine, but I am mentioning it anyways

If anyone has any advice, let me know. I've tried:

• Proton via Steam
• Proton GE via Steam
• Lutris
• WINE all on its own (Black screen issues- I probably installed vulkan wrong with this one)
