Please describe the issue and steps to reproduce it

OptiScaler does not seem to launch with ROMEO IS A DEADMAN on Linux.

I have put the appropriate WINEDLLOVERRIDES command into Steam's launch arguments.

I have renamed the .dll to all available names and updated the above command accordingly.

No matter what, there is no indication that OptiScaler is working, nor is there a menu popping up when I press Insert in game.

Since ROMEO is an Unreal game (version 5.6 according to PCGW), I tried following the same installation steps on a verified working game (Expedition 33), and OptiScaler works without issue.

OptiScaler seems to work with the game on Windows from limited research, hence why I'm labeling as a Linux issue.

Please let me know if you need any other info.

Try using Optiscaler 0.9, if you can't compile yourself then try to download one of the prebuilt ones from github actions.

Getting any upscaler to work in this game is super annoying. I was successful in enabling XeSS inputs at 50% resolution scaling (requires the first graphics setting to be set to Low) and I think you might be able to use my settings file. Try backing up your file and placing mine in compatdata/3050900/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Saved Games/Grasshopper Manufacture/ROMEO IS A DEAD MAN/SavedGames/<steam_id>/ . And try to not change any graphics settings after that.

Regarding the OptiScaler menu - the game does something weird with the swapchain according to nitec. You can make the menu show up by alttabbing but that will cause issues on loading screens. Therefore I suggest you set options you need inside OptiScaler.ini and avoiding the menu (and the fps overlay).
