Status: v1.0.0 Released Project 04 // Rust • Linux Systems • Wine & DirectX 9/11

Point Blank on Linux — Standalone Community Launcher

An all-in-one standalone Linux desktop launcher written in Rust that runs Point Blank (Zepetto / TAM Game) on Linux with 100% unmodified official game files and native CheatBlocker anti-cheat (CB.exe + CB.cbm).

Built on Arch Linux without requiring Heroic, Lutris, or external wrappers—featuring automated Wine prefix & Winetricks provisioning, 16-byte TLS-aligned runtime support for DirectX 11, multi-region authentication, and native 1920×1080 borderless fullscreen at 200 FPS.

01 // Systems Engineering Overview

Solving Low-Level Windows-on-Linux Compatibility

Running legacy 32-bit/64-bit online Windows games with kernel/user-mode anti-cheat modules like CheatBlocker on Linux often fails due to unaligned Thread Local Storage (TLS) allocations in `ntdll.dll`, missing Visual C++ MFC redistributables, and broken WebView2 login flows.

16-Byte TLS-Aligned Runtime for DirectX 11: Automatically provisions a 16-byte TLS-aligned `ntdll.dll` Wine runtime so both DirectX 9 (`DXVersion = 9`) and DirectX 11 (`DXVersion = 11`) render cleanly without crashes.
One-Click Isolated Prefix Provisioning: Configures `~/.local/share/pointblank-linux/prefix` with `vcrun2022` (`mfc140.dll`, `msvcp140.dll`, `vcruntime140.dll`), `d3dx9_31..43`, `d3dcompiler_43`, `d3dx11_43`, and Edge WebView2 (`109.0.1518.78`).
In-Game `F11` Borderless Fullscreen Helper: Compiles a lightweight MinGW-w64 helper utility for instant 1920×1080 borderless fullscreen switching at 200 FPS.
