    Please forgive my lack of knowledge on the subject. I’ve just installed pop os from being a windows user for my whole life.

    I’d like to run this game on pop os and from my understanding I need wine? I understand steam games using proton, etc. I’ve got lutris installed. I’ve got wine 11 installed , and I’ve got winetricks installed.

    What processes would I undertake in order to play this on my pop os install?

    Cheers for anyone that could help, I really appreciate it. Trying to wrap my head around the new way of doing things. Tricky for a middle aged bugger like me to learn new tricks, but I’m trying haha.

      export WINEPREFIX=./your-prefix, it’s where the .dll get put. Then wine game.exe. But you will likely lack some dll, install them via winetricks, vcrun2022 is often needed. Proton has them already in their prefix, but is made for Steam, thus tooling like umu-launcher and GUI launchers like Lutris, Gamehub, Heroic, exists.

      Ah btw, the WINEPREFIX is just a environment variable wine needs. And honestly, wine’s cli interface is quite lacking.
