I cannot get the game to start on Linux in DX11 mode

I want to start by saying I'm a Redditor, not a forum poster. As such there may be finer points of forum etiquette I may be missing in this post. Please be patient with me.

Anyways, as the title suggests I'm attempting to get the game to run in Linux.

SPECS:
Laptop: Dell G5-5587
GPU: Listed in system info as GeForce GTX 1060 with Max-Q Design/PCIe/SSE2
OS: Ubuntu 18.04.2
GPU driver: nvidia-driver-418
Proton: 3.16-8 Beta
Vulkan: installed libvulkan1 and libvulkan1:i386

STEPS TAKEN:

1. Valve has done really well with Linux support over the past couple of years. Naturally my first goto when running a game is through Steam Proton. Upon launching I get an error that says:

"Failed to create swap chain for Hwnd": In source code file: f:\buildslave\build\production\source\windows\visual\device\d3d11\deviced3d11.cpp at line 483,
Processing file: Failed to create swap chain for Hwnd
Error: -2005270524
Message:

Afterwords, I'll get about 5-15 popups that vary, most mostly take the following form:

"<FONT NAME>": Reference count for loaded resource <FONT NAME> is 8.

Previously, the game would then alert me that DX11 mode failed and ask me if I want to run in DX9 mode instead. In between VERY frequent crashes, DX9 mode actually performed quite well, keeping a stable 60 FPS with medium to high settings. Unfortunately, with the drop of DX9 support, I don't have that option anymore.

2. My plan B was the post given in the side bar of the subreddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/9x47or/guide_getting_path_of_exiledx11_to_run_smoothly/). I installed Wine and Lutris without any issues. I was even able to install the "PoE with DXVK" version of the game mentioned. On launching however, nothing happens. No popups or errors. The "Play" button in Lutris just turns to "Stop" for a few seconds before reverting back to "Play".

3. I went back to both the Steam Proton and Lutris versions and tried them with various combinations of launch options, none of them giving me any noticeably different results.

4. I posted on Reddit asking about the issue. The only comments I got were discussions on the issue itself or people saying "the sidebar link works on my machine".

5. As of tonight, the last thing I tried was messing around with the filenames of the executable in the Steam version. It didn't work, nor did I expect it to, but it was worth a shot since I have another Windows game that requires this simple action to run.

Thanks for any help!

No sure why you are bumping, the game dose not support non windows OS's and there IS an unoficial thread somewhere that you should be posting in, at least then you might get help from other linux users.

I did hunt for one before posting this but could not find it. Could you point me in the right direction? Thanks,

EDIT: Nevermind, I should have been searching for "Wine" instead of "Linux". I think I found the thread you are referencing, thanks.
