winetricks VS protontricks

Step 1: Install Whisky + Winetricks with Homebrew.

See https://github.com/Winetricks/winetricks/issues/1863 for some suggestions. The normal way to fix your situation, taking into account the previous posts, would be to just back up the saves, nuke the prefix, and start from scratch.

Support for the commonly-used tool Winetricks

When it comes to wine everything is the same except the steam part. When it comes to that you need to install winetricks package. The link is here https://github.com/Winetricks/winetricks.

Sounds like it could be a missing module problem, maybe try https://github.com/Winetricks/winetricks.

Sounds like it's time to get familiar with the wine-staging options to hide wine-specific exports:

i changed to lutris. Game runs well there too. Finally i got Winetricks working there but its meh. Mangohud shows only wine version 5. and i get this error when i try to install vcredist19. (i get spammed with errors) https://github.com/Winetricks/winetricks/issues/1770

If you want to automate the process you have to set it up yourself, as described on their github: https://github.com/Winetricks/winetricks

Wine is a very cool project dedicated to getting Windows apps running on other systems. You'd really want Wine and Winetricks which handles a lot of setup for games for you.

Just played games on Linux for the first time. It's way easier than I originally thought since Proton is integrated into Steam client. Can even run non-Steam games through Steam client but had to use protontricks to add dependencies like Visual C++ redistributables.

We'll be needing Protontricks to install those packages into our Proton session of our game (each steam game has their own one). You can install it here https://github.com/Matoking/protontricks.

Try to run the mod manager in the game prefix by using protontricks.

ALSO if a mod has some kind of external dependency, like if it specifically mentions needing VisualC or .NET Runtime, Protontricks will be a lifesaver for installing these into Proton prefixes. Might not need it often, but could come in handy to know anyways.

I'm learning a bit more about Proton. You can install Protontricks and then run protontricks 824270 and it should install stuff for you.

You can try protontricks with protontricks 1730590 winhttp (1730590 is The Entropy Centre's Steam App ID, that I just looked up on protondb)

That might be a problem, you could try to install native d3dx9 and xact to the game's wine prefix using winetricks or protontricks. I'd try d3dx9 on it's own first.

But I suspect that you'd find it much easier and more convenient to just use protontricks for this.

install it in the game's proton instance with protontricks
