Instead, the most interesting thing to figure out is what specific installer in the Steamworks Common Redistributable set was missing for The Witcher 2, and reliable steps to reproduce the issue so that a Steam devs can try to reproduce the issue you encountered. This feature request reads like a request for every Windows redist installer under the sun to be pushed into every wineprefix for every game run with Proton. The individual game devs still chose what specific installers they want used on the first run of the game, and Steam updates the Steamworks Common Redistributables folder to include the installers that used to be separately bundled with a bunch of games. When Steamworks Common Redistributables was added to Steam, it extracted game-bundled installers and put them in a common folder so that duplicates could be removed and save storage. That said, there's something fundamentally wrong with this feature request. Hello you may have encountered an uncommon bug with Steam and Steamworks Common Redistributables which should be pondered. #2309 (refused to launch until I installed another game that did install redistributables) More disk space for Proton required References This feature is more Steam-related than Proton or Wine, but there's native Linux games on Steam and they don't need it Risks If that's the case, then the redistributables need to be downloaded even if there's a native Linux port of the game as long as the game runs through Proton. I can assume they won't download because that game already has a native Linux port. After that the needed first-time setup programs were installed and the game worked properly. that I have checked whether there are updates for my system available thatįor some reason some games like The Witcher 2 refused to launch for me (and apparently others) until I installed a game that downloads Steamworks Common Redistributables.that I haven't found another request for this feature.
