Steam Library-Must be on a filesystem mounted with execute permissions

Deleting Windows hibernate metadata As an alternative to above clean shutdown method, there is a way to completely destroy NTFS metadata that was saved after hibernating. This method is only feasible if you are not able or unwilling to boot into Windows and shut it down completely. This is by placing remove_hiberfile option when you are mounting your NTFS file system using ntfs-3g.

mount -t ntfs-3g -o remove_hiberfile /dev/your_NTFS_partition /mount/point

Proton - Sound

I tried the WINEPREFIX solution mentioned above to no avail, ended up finding protontricks that stratus mentioned on github soon after.

Here is what worked for me:

Fetch protontricks from github and mark executable wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Sirmentio/protontricks/master/protontricks && chmod +x protontricks

move protontricks to /usr/bin so it can be ran from terminal sudo mv protontricks /usr/bin/protontricks

setup xact for banished on steam protontricks 242920 xact

run winecfg for banished prefix using protontricks protontricks 242920 winecfg

click on libraries and add xact and xaudio2_7, leave them with native, builtin https://i.imgur.com/lvguBoG.png

this is with Ubuntu 18.04, WINEPREFIX solutions did not work for me in this case, but this did.
