Has anyone been able to get Doom 2016 to run on Linux?

I downloaded the offline installers and ran them thru Lutris with the latest versions of Wine-GE and Tumbleweed plus Mint... and all I get is a black screen.

Any tips?

PC1: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D / AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT / driver version 25.0.3 / OpenSUSE Tumbleweed
PC2: Intel Core i7-8700 / nVidia Geforce RTX 2070 / driver version 550.120 / Linux Mint

Install the Visual Studio C++ 2015 runtime into your DOOM 2016 prefix:

As discussed here:

There are instructions for Heroic (someone else who uses it) and Lutris (a post I wrote) with both being replies on the first page.

Thank you, I'll give a try. Heroic just failed and crashed.
I'm trying your method now.

Works now, thank you

Winetricks tells me the process of installing vcrun2015 "returns status 102" which I can't find any relevant search results for via brave. Altho the Wine Control Panel is telling me that "Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2022 Redistributable (x86)" (version 14.40.33810.0) is installed... is that it?

I'm still seeing the same happen... Doom 2016 just isn't running. System monitor says it's only using 6.4% of the CPU and 320 MiB of RAM. there's just nothing.

EDIT: I just noticed the comments in your thread. I'll try downloading the microsoft thingy from the microsoft website.

EDIT 2: yep, that's the fix. RTFM

This method worked perfectly, and can confirm the game launches and plays just fine. Cheers mate!
For those who don't want to manually fool around with DLLs and files, running `winetricks -q mfc140` worked for me. There is an open issue on the Wine HQ for this: Multiple games and applications need 'mfc140.dll'. In fact if you try running the game from the terminal the error message tells you which DLL file is missing.

EDIT: As always with Winetricks, make sure your `WINEPREFIX` environment variable is set to the directory which contains the game's Wine prefix.
