Linux support

[noaccOS]

On DS3T.exe launch it shows various errors (I think because it cannot read my GPU info) and when enabled I can't set my monitor's resolution when in game (which I could without the program).
It plays at a resolution considerably lower.
Tested on Proton-GE-5.4-1

@noaccOS Did you manage to get ultrawide working? Tried both this app and hex editor... Nothing worked.

Nope, I played on windows and I got banned... Now I play on Linux without the mod

This is one of the first places I found when I was trying to get ultrawide working, so gonna paste my protondb report here now that I have the "hex method" working in case others like me stumble here:

Proton 5.0-9
Distro: Arch Linux
Kernel: 5.8.5-arch1-1
RAM: 16 GB
GPU Driver: 4.6 Mesa 20.1.6
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600X Six-Core

I got Ultrawide support working! Basically doing the "Hex Method", which is outlined here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=668484112

Make sure you run the game once before you follow the guide, and set the game mode to windowed (if you don't/froget you can just edit the file to say WINDOW).

I actually made the GraphicsConfig.xml read-only too, but not sure if it was necessary.

I pieced together my resolution from these tables: https://www.wsgf.org/article/common-hex-values

000F 0000 4006

3840 x 1600

(The middle 4 values are always 0000 it seems)

The menus won't be ultrawide, but once you're ingame the window will expand like desired (and not stretch or show black bars)

Something very weird I experience is my GraphicsConfig.xml file having really weird artifacts/not-actually-display characters embedded in between every character. vim of course has no trouble with this and I could "cheat" the values outlined in the guide, but I imagine any other text editor wont' know how to read the characters (leafpad could only render a single <, for example).

(I know this doesn't further the scope of this ticket but I figure it's highly unlikely the dev cares about Linux users anyway lol)

Oh, to expand on the above, actually: I bet this program would have worked. My GraphicsConfig.xml file really is corrupted, and the DS3T.exe tool correctly recognized it as such. If someone didn't have a corrupted file (either cuz whatever thing is consistently happening to me across re-downloads doesn't effect them, or they find a clean file elsewhere), this could possibly get SouldsUnsqueezed working:

WINEPREFIX="~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/374320/pfx" wine DS3T.exe

@Lightsockie Thank you very much for your input. Finally figured it out. The problem was a strange encoding on my GraphicsConfig.xml. I removed it and created a new file with default settings copied from internet. Ultra wide is now working!
