Never really had a problem with either FitGirl or DODI repacks in Lutris
Install the full Visual Studio runtime and try some different settings with winecfg. People recommend Lutris but for me it never made a difference
Can I ask: How? What do you do to install that, and don’t you mean c++ runtime? Also I’ve never tinkered with winecfg, I fear that I might break things. What are some settings that are worth looking at?
I’m asking caz I’m going crazy trying to play games on linux, if I buy them on steam it should just reportedly work, but non-steam games or cracked ones, I either have a very hard time starting, or it works, but just barely.
Run the installer in Proton, then point the steam shortcut to the installed executable. No tools needed except steam
You can find a procedure using Lutris here
Worked great for me on a fitgirl repack.
Not sure if this C is about the same thing, but there it is. Linux crack.
I’ve installed a few through Litrus and they have just worked. This was on SteamDeck and Ubuntu desktop
Install them with Bottles or Lutris
I install them on my Windows Desktop, copy the files, and run them with Proton
Or just
winethat bitch.That works 99% of the time. I’ve run across a couple that refuse to extract, so I had to run them in a VM and copy the files over.
using proton for the installer as well worked wonders for me
