Also, if you interested, would love feedback on OW2 running with wine-8.1-staging-tkg on Lutris (link) - this might also be the most recent caffe release on Bottles as I think they also use the tkg patches.

Here is the link. Extract the file to ~/.local/share/lutris/runners/wine if you are using native lutris install. I prefer the tkg. Also update your dxvk and vkd3d versions - did you disable hardware acceleration in bnet? I manually install latest dxvk and vkd3d versions from their git pages - extract to ~/.local/share/lutris/runtime/dxvk or vkd3d. In Lutris, they will not appear in the dropdown list, so you type in the folder name that was created when you extracted the files (eg dxvk-2.1)
[battle.net, hearthstone] hearthstone keeps updating in circle doing nothing whenever i close the game, i'm using a battle net installed through wine launched through lutris, thoughts?
1 project | /r/Lutris | 19 Jan 2023

Download the wine-7.22-staging-tkg-amd64.tar.xz file from this link and extract it in the runners/wine folder in Lutris (exact path to this location will vary depending on whether you are using the flatpak version or native to your distro). Also if you are using Lutris, make sure you have the 0.5.12 version installed.

I've been dying to play Ever17, and I'm also getting a Steam Deck soon. Anyone out there know if it's playable in some fashion on Steam Deck?
1 project | /r/visualnovels | 29 Mar 2022

There's probably a way to get codec working but for now only ffdshow codec is available on Bottles (and that didn't work for this game) and it's too much of a hassle to do it with Wine Flatpak right now.

Other than that, you could always make a .desktop file or manually write invoke Wine using the Flatpak version, as someone did manage to figure out how to work out using Steam ROM Manager with Flatpak version of emulators.
WINE 7.0 Flatpak is (unofficially) now available on Flathub!
