itch VS wine-ge-custom

Itch has their own app and so I presume they want folks using that instead of rolling their own.

Man, I can't even get the itch client to launch normally anymore. It just quits. This nonsense: here and here.

ITCH.IO: -Install Itch.io launcher: https://itch.io/app (just download and run the installer) -WORKAROUND: Itch.io launcher not working on gaming mode: https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/ufr30h/itchio_app_in_gaming_mode/ -WORKAROUND: Itch.io doesnt allow you to install Windows games through Wine/Proton: https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/tynrsh/installing_windows_games_via_the_linux_itchio_app/ -If you still have problems with thr launcher you can download the games from the web browser or use a PWA to download the games ans then manually add them to steam ans use some tool like BoilR, SteamGridDB Decky Plugin or SGDBoop.

Then, depending on the game it may not open unless you move it out of the downloads folder. You might also have better luck using the itch app: https://itch.io/app

Many of the games under the category of “web” on itch io arent mobile or browser friendly. The exceptions are the pico 8 games and the few developers that take the time to make proper browser bindings and use supported webgl. If they dont inherintly make it run with wasm, try this https://itch.io/app

You can download it with https://itch.io/app , then you can resume the download. :3

itch.io does have an official launcher: https://itch.io/app

Itch.io is cool, but I just installed Xubuntu 22.04.1 and now the itch client crashes on launch. That's almost a year old. Just recently I made a comment about how "if itch can make a functional launcher for Linux, so can GOG!" Well. Stupid I have to launch a program from the terminal and not be able to use sandboxing.

The only working fix for this at the moment is using GE-Wine 25 via Lutris.

I have FF14 working with WINE-GE 8-21 on Arch Linux. The only issue seems to be with video playback from ARR. The openings for Heavensward thru Endwalker all play OK.

I am using Lutris-GE-lol-p8-12, Arch Linux, Wayland, and a AMD CPU and GPU (Mesa).

This is big, at least for some of us. I honestly stopped at the last FSR enabled GE, which was around GE-Proton7-55, and planned to stay there for as long as possible. Don't know who Ph42oN is, but deserves tons of respect for make it again possible. Yes, gamescope was/is another way, but I very much prefer this one. https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom/releases/tag/GE-Proton8-7 https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/wine-ge-custom/releases/tag/GE-Proton8-11

I installed Chrome using latest Wine-GE, but DRM is an issue now.

Install lutris-GE-Proton8-8 and then just switch to 8-10 after installation. https://github.com/gloriouseggroll/wine-ge-custom/releases (extract it to ~/.local/share/lutris/runners/wine)

Use last lutris-wine or latest Wine GE

I would try GloriousEgroll, I use their version of proton to help with a lot of games, I linked you to their WINE version.

There's one specifcally for Wine, too: https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/wine-ge-custom
