wine VS HeroicGamesLauncher

Sometimes when a detail of Windows isn't documented, the Wine source code can be useful. Have you tried looking at it for details of win64 SEH? For example:

https://github.com/wine-mirror/wine/blob/master/dlls/ntdll/e...

https://github.com/wine-mirror/wine/blob/master/dlls/msvcrt/...

Source code: https://github.com/wine-mirror/wine/tree/master/programs/wor...

It's Wine with some special sauce (Apple couldn't reuse VKD3D because they chose to invent Metal rather than stick with OpenGL/Vulkan so they had to build their graphics translation themselves). Crossover is built on the same technology. In fact, Apple's brew script literally links to Crossover's sources: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/apple/homebrew-apple/main/...

Things like the crypto API should be implemented if you can find the reference for your specific API calls here: https://github.com/wine-mirror/wine/tree/master/dlls/crypt32

Apple's version of Wine is aimed at developers, though. It shouldn't take too long for someone to make an app or script to easily set up environments with the developer runtime, but I doubt they'll support it as well as Valve supports Proton. If your application of choice doesn't need any fancy graphics, there's a decent chance Wine/Crossover can already run it anyway, no need to mess with Apple's SDK.

With the M2 Max outputting 28fps at 1080p (screenshot linked), I wouldn't expect too much from the gaming performance of this thing, though.

Not the OP, but Github's stats on https://github.com/wine-mirror/wine say the current Wine codebase is 95.1% C, 0.3% C++

Take a look at Wine's commit log. It's really well curated. https://github.com/wine-mirror/wine/commits/master

Fixes Overwatch 2 game freeze after a few seconds in game. After a long bisect it was found that wine-mirror/wine@4bf9d24 from upstream wine wine 7.13 and higher needed to be backported.

git clone https://github.com/wine-mirror/wine \ cd wine \ ./configure \ make \ make install \ wine ./Anomaly.exe

Well, I personally can't confirm nor deny that (the only "old" game I play is Plants vs Zombies (2009), and surprisingly it still works great with latest Proton). But the reality is that Wine/Proton are very large and complex projects, developed by pretty much just reverse engineering Windows; Couple this with the fact that a lot of changes happen in-between versions (especially in Wine), and even though an one-line change fixes an issue, it might end up breaking something, elsewhere. My point is, it's almost inevitable not to break stuff eventually. This is why Valve gives us older Proton versions to choose from.

Thanks for all the encourage we got from the Linux community! So, here's the changelog and a few Screenshots: * Completely changed the design based on the UX research we did * Added Global and per Game Settings‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎­page to configure default wine (or proton), wine prefix, and launch options. * Option to install the game on a default path(configurable), custom path, or import an already installed game. * No need for Xterm anymore, all installation feedback is on the installation page now. * Login screen redone * Better menus for log out and refresh library * Option to filter only installed games. * Possibility to stop the installation * Possibility to stop a running game * Added Game description * Several bugfixes * Heroic creates a default config folder in $HOME/.config/heroic/config.json * Both Game configs and Launch logs are saved for the debugging process in the config folder /GamesConfig ​ https://preview.redd.it/fvf8t9kb6ca61.png?width=1410&format=png&auto=webp&s=1fca45b4b0daf31e1ba9474fbaadfa4ff1599a7c https://preview.redd.it/9bwn88jc6ca61.png?width=1447&format=png&auto=webp&s=c646e878b1a4d15283830f0d3cb7088c19cab93a https://preview.redd.it/pas5p7rd6ca61.png?width=1410&format=png&auto=webp&s=d8583da2d3d8c9efdf1b4a4b434c87816913e3f7 https://preview.redd.it/fla5od3f6ca61.png?width=1410&format=png&auto=webp&s=ba416573456f66c94ff6741eec3ca1c3c9e29aed https://preview.redd.it/rd9a0ovf6ca61.png?width=1410&format=png&auto=webp&s=fa7cd7787b151e8747ffa2ac30e8283e7d3c2a63 https://github.com/flavioislima/HeroicGamesLauncher/releases

https://github.com/flavioislima/HeroicGamesLauncher you can kinda yeet official EGS with this

Do you need egs? Have you tried https://github.com/flavioislima/HeroicGamesLauncher

I gave up trying to get it to work via Lutris. I think your best bet is to use Heroic Games Launcher (a native Linux third party app for downloading your Epic Games Store games).

Also all Blizzard games work perfectly in linux since improvements around 1-2 years ago, and there is now a native epic games launcher where lots of non-steam games work. People have also gotten Battlefront 2 and similar Origin games working, but I don't have much experience with that.

Is this the epic replacement you're referring to? I haven't heard of this before. I've been running epic games through proton and it's a bit of a PITA. would be nice to have a more seamless experience.

Did you check the git for installation or possible fixes for using custom wine?

Well if you owned rocket league before the epic games takeover then you can still play on steam. Also maybe check out Heroic for a native Linux EGS client
