Description

Feature Request

I confirm:

  • that I haven't found another request for this feature.
  • that I have checked whether there are updates for my system available that
    contain this feature already.

Description

It seems pretty clear that Physx is not supported by Proton.
Why not add the wine-staging patch for Physx support to Proton? The patch works pretty well.

Justification [optional]

It is in wine-staging.

Risks [optional]

Maybe there is a reason it's not in Wine vanilla, but couldn't find it.

References [optional]

Start by reviewing the Wine-staging PhysX support patch referenced in the issue and how Proton incorporates Wine changes. Confirm the scope and compatibility risks with the Proton and Wine contexts; done would mean an agreed integration path and working PhysX support in Proton.
