Vortex VS winetricks

Ok, I've installed it. The script in lutris indeed did not work, but it had a link in the description. That link sends you here: Official Lutris Installer (for Linux) · Issue #10686 · Nexus-Mods/Vortex · GitHub

A lot of those will actually work in Wine/Proton, though configuring it is a pain in the ass. Vortex is supposedly getting close to native Linux support and that's a major one, in the meantime this script for Lutris seems to be recommended by the people working on Vortex. Apparently the one on Lutris itself uses an outdated version and is much jankier.

it links to THIS thread -- https://github.com/Nexus-Mods/Vortex/issues/10686

https://github.com/Nexus-Mods/Vortex/issues/12680 This guy was having the same issue as I was, but then a moderator came in and said "it was fixed in an update" before closing the problem, but clearly the problem still exists. You can't just pretend problems aren't there.

Vortex does work really well with wine, I recommend using the scripts from this GitHub issue: https://github.com/Nexus-Mods/Vortex/issues/10686

If this doesn't fix your problems, you'll either need to wait for next Vortex beta-release, or alternatively you can first in Vortex under Settings - Vortex change "Update" to "No automatic updates" and afterwards download and install an older Vortex version from https://github.com/Nexus-Mods/Vortex/releases

Vortex has no way of doing this. Apparently it's not possible.

Have you disabled it? Either do this or reinstall Vortex. https://github.com/Nexus-Mods/Vortex/issues/9371

i tried seeing if there was a way i could manually repath it, but i couldn't find anything in the settings (correct me if im wrong). but in the notification with the error, there's no fix option. all it says is it cant execute ModInstallerIPC.exe and gives no further information (no error code, no details). im really lost here :p but it seems im not alone https://github.com/Nexus-Mods/Vortex/issues/12308

Step 1: Install Whisky + Winetricks with Homebrew.

See https://github.com/Winetricks/winetricks/issues/1863 for some suggestions. The normal way to fix your situation, taking into account the previous posts, would be to just back up the saves, nuke the prefix, and start from scratch.

Support for the commonly-used tool Winetricks

When it comes to wine everything is the same except the steam part. When it comes to that you need to install winetricks package. The link is here https://github.com/Winetricks/winetricks.

Sounds like it could be a missing module problem, maybe try https://github.com/Winetricks/winetricks.

Sounds like it's time to get familiar with the wine-staging options to hide wine-specific exports:

i changed to lutris. Game runs well there too. Finally i got Winetricks working there but its meh. Mangohud shows only wine version 5. and i get this error when i try to install vcredist19. (i get spammed with errors) https://github.com/Winetricks/winetricks/issues/1770

If you want to automate the process you have to set it up yourself, as described on their github: https://github.com/Winetricks/winetricks

Wine is a very cool project dedicated to getting Windows apps running on other systems. You'd really want Wine and Winetricks which handles a lot of setup for games for you.
