Cant get plugins to work
1 project | /r/starfieldmods | 10 Dec 2023

you also need https://github.com/ThirteenAG/Ultimate-ASI-Loader/releases/download/x64-latest/bink2w64-x64.zip place dll into content folder AFTER renaming original bink2w64.dll to bink2w64Hooked.dll
PSA: If your gamepass version wont start after updating ASI loader, check your plugins.

Updated the ASI Loader from github but the game refused to load. Turns out my achievement enabler plugin was causing the issue, once disabled everything is working as normal. I was using this one.

Any ASI loader for 1.0.7.0?

Try Ultimate ASI Loader
Any news on the Ultimate ASI loader and Silent patch WINE compatibility?
1 project | /r/GTA | 24 Mar 2023

So I got GTA 3 to run on WINE successfuly. Next stop is getting ASI patches to load, but I've hit a bit of a wall here. Naming the Ultimate ASI loader to dinput8.dll and setting WINE to use that DLL gets me the following message "Unable to load SilentPatchIII.asi: Error 998". Closest thing to the topic I've found is this thread: https://github.com/thirteenag/ultimate-asi-loader/issues/12, but doesn't look like that got anywhere either. Since it's from 2020, i figured to ask - has anyone got this to work since?
Finally Got the game running !

You are welcome. In general if you recieve message to use launchgtaiv.exe it means that XLivelessAddon is not loading for some reason. Reinstall it and maybe update Ultimate ASI Loader - Ultimate-ASI-Loader.zip unpack and rename as xlive.dll https://github.com/ThirteenAG/Ultimate-ASI-Loader/releases/tag/v4.68

With that said, if they are not the same, check if you are able to rename one of them into something else. The Ultimate ASI Loader, for example, allows you to rename it into any of the ones listed in the link.
Just got the gta 4 complete edition on steam but the cutscenes are zoomed in. How do I fix this?

Cyberpunk 2077 on Steam Deck: 18% faster on SteamOS than Windows 10
5 projects | /r/Games | 11 Mar 2022

PCGamingWiki shows that the game only ever released physically on PC so those are the only options, as for patches ThirteenAG's Widescreen Fix and NFSU2 Extra Options (and of course DXVK if you run into issues like the one mentioned in my post) are all you need to make the game run well enough and loyal to its original look
NFSU2 Extra Options is not working. Can you help me?
1 project | /r/NFSU2 | 14 May 2021

I figured out that, if you install Extra Options ( https://nfsmods.xyz/mod/290 , https://github.com/ExOptsTeam/NFSU2ExOpts/releases/tag/v5.0.0.1337 ) on your Need For Speed Underground 2 for PC, you can use the Debug Camera (press L twice on your keyboard), and this allow you to see the entire city of Bayview with a different view ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCTMxL1oeig ), and I want to do this a lot, but I can't because the Extra Options is not working with me!
