Done. No special setup required.

## Linux (Lutris & Steam Proton) Installation
## Linux (Steam Proton, Lutris & Bottles) Installation

Same as above except requires winecfg to override/accept the dinput8 dll.
Same as above except requires Wine to override/accept the dinput8 dll.

1. Copy the extracted dinput8.dll into your game's folder (same as above, where LaNoire.exe is located).
2. If you are using Lutris => (I assume you have L.A. Noire setup in Lutris already), click on the Wine icon -> Winetricks. Proceed with Step 5.
3. If you are using Steam => Run `protontricks --gui` in a terminal (you may have to install protontricks from your distro's repo. Consult your package manager.
4. Select 'L.A. Noire 110800' and wait until a window pops-up (As long as the terminal says 'Executing mkdir' wait. It may show an error regarding 64-bit/32-Bit Prefix, but it'll take a while. Just click on 'Ok'.
5. Select 'Run winecfg' (if you don't see that option, open 'Install an application' and cancel out. Now winecfg should be visible.
6. Select the 'Libraries' tab and add 'dinput8.dll' from the 'New override for library' dropdown menu.
2. Create a Wine DLL Override for the dinput8.dll.
- In **Steam** open up the Game Properties page. In the Launch options add a following text - `WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8.dll=n,b" %command%`
- In **Lutris** open up the Game Configure page. Go into Runner options, scroll down and find DLL Overrides. Add `dinput8.dll` as the Key and `n,b` as the Value.
- In **Bottles** open up the Bottle settings. Scroll down to DLL Overrides, add `dinput8.dll` as the Override and select **Native, builtin** as the option.

If 'dinput8(native, builtin)' is visible in the list, then you've successfully installed the patch on Linux.
Other Wine/Proton runners will work in a similar way. If there isn't a dedicated DLL Override page, the environment variable `WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8.dll=n,b"` should make it work.
