            Bug ID: 46464
           Summary: Strong hold 2 needs a native dll fallback mechanism
           Product: Wine
           Version: 4.0-rc6
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: ntdll
          Assignee: wine-bugs at winehq.org

See https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/506 for details.

Strong hold 2 doesn't run. For it to run, use the following steps:

$ STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH=~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/40960
~/.steam/steam/compatibilitytools.d/proton/proton run
~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/40960/pfx/drive_c/windows/system32/winecfg.exe
And set msvcr100.dll and msvcp100.dll to builtin.

And FFLauncher.exe is a .NET application. Since proton doesn't have mono
support yet. We need to rename rename Stronghold2.exe to FFLaucher.exe, then it
will launch.

$ cd ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Stronghold\ 2/
$ file msvcp100.dll 
msvcp100.dll: PE32+ executable (DLL) (GUI) x86-64, for MS Windows
$ file FFLauncher.exe 
FFLauncher.exe: PE32 executable (GUI) Intel 80386, for MS Windows

So the reason that the game doesn't run on proton is that it is bundled with
dlls of wrong architecture in its application folder. On Windows, there is a
dll architecture check[1] when loading dlls, whereas wine currently loads the
first found.
