## Linux (Proton/Wine)
As of version 0.0.7.2, SPL officially supports Linux through Proton/Wine. Below are the steps to install and run SPL on Linux.

Proton 10 is recommended. [Proton 11 does not load msvcrt.dll](https://github.com/Fexty12573/SharpPluginLoader/issues/62).

1. Install .NET Desktop Runtime 8.0 and Direct 3D Shader Compiler using [protontricks](https://github.com/Matoking/protontricks):
```bash
protontricks 582010 dotnetdesktop8 d3dcompiler_47
```
2. Download the latest linux release of SPL (`SharpPluginLoader-<version>-linux.zip`) from the [Releases Page](https://github.com/Fexty12573/SharpPluginLoader/releases) and extract it into the game's root directory. After doing so you should have a `ucrtbase.dll` file in the same directory as `MonsterHunterWorld.exe`.
2. Download the latest linux release of SPL (`SharpPluginLoader-<version>-linux.zip`) from the [Releases Page](https://github.com/Fexty12573/SharpPluginLoader/releases) and extract it into the game's root directory. After doing so you should have a `msvcrt.dll` file in the same directory as `MonsterHunterWorld.exe`.
3. Set the Steam launch options for MHW as follows:
```bash
# Use this for SPL only
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="ucrtbase=n,b" %command%
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="msvcrt=n,b" %command%

# Or this for SPL together with Stracker's Loader
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="ucrtbase,dinput8=n,b" %command%
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="msvcrt,dinput8=n,b" %command%
```

If the game fails to start, even with the dependencies above correctly installed, check your environment for `DOTNET_ROOT`. It may be set by your package manager. For example, on Gentoo with `eselect dotnet`. You can unset it in your Steam launch options like so:
```bash
# Unset DOTNET_ROOT to avoid conflict with native dotnet and dotnet installed in the Wine prefix.
DOTNET_ROOT= WINEDLLOVERRIDES="ucrtbase,dinput8=n,b" %command%
DOTNET_ROOT= WINEDLLOVERRIDES="msvcrt,dinput8=n,b" %command%
```

Conversely, the following is **not** valid, as `Plugin1.dll` is inside the `Loader` directory. The plugin loader will not load it.
