Mod doesn't work under Linux through Proton, Steam.

[MissingCiro]

I'm playing NFSMW on Steam through Proton. The game runs fine, but any mod I try to install doesn't work. I have installed the dinput8.dll in the main folder of the game, the "scripts" folder, reinstalled the game and everything I could, but nothing worked.

Maybe it's something about Proton not using the dinput8.dll? I have no idea how to override it in Steam Game Properties.

I tried playing the game with regular Wine, but it runs with no sound.

UPDATE:

I managed to make Widescreen Fix and ExOpts load. However, ExOpts hotkeys do not work, not even if re-binding them to other keys.

In case anyone is wondering, the command used in Steam's Launch Options was:
PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8.dll=n,b" %command%
