I got it working using X360CE.[...]

Have tried to do so many times to not avail :/

Thanks though :)
Did you add the DirectX and DirectInput DLL overrides in WineCfg as well? "Native" or "Native first" should work.

I think I did but don't remember it 100% now, will check back home :) Thanks!

* I know some people have achieved this but can't make it work.

I got it working using X360CE. If I remember correctly, you create a mapping (.ini file) with the x360ce.exe tool and copy all the included files into the same directory as the game launches from (meaning, not just the install directory but the actual subdir where the engine executable is).
It's been a while since I used it, but it worked great with the Batman games.

Never played a Hitman game before, maybe it's about time...

Realpolitiks, a grand strategy game from Jujubee will see day-1 Linux support
18 January 2017 at 4:15 pm UTC

"Based on three main political systems (democracy, authoritarianism, totalitarianism), Realpolitiks allows you..." No anarchism? Not real nor politics... but that's another topic, so to stick to the game purpose... I won't buy it.

Editorial: The Nintendo Switch will use Vulkan, why that doesn't suddenly mean more Linux ports
20 December 2016 at 9:51 am UTC

Quoting: Creak
Quoting: t3gIf AAA developers and publishers bring their game to he switch and are forced to learn and use Vulkan, it is a huge benefit for everyone as they may use Vulkan for their PC releases too.
Right now, even with Nintendo using Vulkan, DirectX is still more interesting. Having a graphics engine based on DirectX ensures to have a game compatible with Windows and XBox. It's like 50% of the market. The rest is mainly Sony with its PS4. That's why Nintendo announcing they're supporting Vulkan just isn't enough. But if Sony announces it, it might change the situation.

In terms of portability Nintendo still has like 75% of sales for both hardware and software. Now on mobiles as well with Super Mario Run and Pokémon Go. And that considering Switch is still an enigma about how successful will be... but as a reminder people declared the first Wii as a low specs gimmick console that would kill Nintendo once and for all though instead sold more than 100 million units.

Just because Wii U didn't sell as planned does not mean there were hundred of developments for it. Besides, if we count the developments for 3DS <thousands> that will be now unified with Switch I do believe is a milestone for Vulkan, open APIs, Nintendo and eventually us PC/Linux users.
