wine-ge-custom VS wine-launcher

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

I want to try different drivers that I have now because my wine is acting all weird and there is no fix for it, i googled it for weeks and posted on reddit, forums and nothing helped, as far as I remember lutris and wine used to work fine before but not they don't work. So far I've tried older LTS Kernels, running winetricks orm=backbuffer glsl=disable , wine launcher, hopping distos, using different wifi, installing every possible wine dependency checking forums, changing drivers and nothing solved it for me.

You don't need to customize anything in Wine. The game has gold status on protondb You can install the game via Wine Launcher and choose in the DXVK settings. This is all that is required

You many not like Lutris but it is best in class. Lutris does too much and some of not well but alternatives don't do any better. The one thing Lutris get right is installation of games, the process in Gamehub, and Wine Launcher is not as simple. There are stand alone install scripts "Adamhm's Linux Wine Wrappers" and "Play.it" but this list is limited.
