What happens if you manually create a wine prefix and launch the game through wine from the command line?

As with any ‘yarr!’ software, you should be downloading it from a trusted source (cs.rin, rutracker, jc141, IRC etc.), then scan it with something like clamav. Remember that wine alone will not restrict any malicious code as it has the same access as your user.

Personally, I have yet to meet a malicious Linux file in any native yarr! downloads but that does not mean that they aren’t out there. Just make sure that you use a trusted source.

Finally, if you are in doubt then don’t install it!

There are some slightly dated wine results here.

Proton reports for the Steam version are here.

Please detail how you attempted to run or install the game, with output.

I’ll give it another go one day :-)

Could be. Sorry I can’t be any more help.

I was more thinking about trying wine-staging specifically, rather than Proton, as they do have differences. On my system BG3 didn’t work with Proton but did work once I switched to wine-staging 8.13. Of course YEMV!

HI. Wine-staging should be in your distro’s repos. Install that and it should appear as an option in Lutris. With regard to winetricks: again it should be in your distro’s repos. There is also an option in Lutris to specify using your installed version of winetricks. Finally, yes, dotnetdesktop6 is only for the launcher. Cheers!

No, it still didn’t work. I’ve decided to move on to some other games for the time being!

I’ve been working with the RUNE version, but I have it launching and working successfully from Lutris and command line using the following:

1. wine-staging 8.13
2. wine prefix with dxvk, vkd3d and vcrun2022
3. install windowsdesktop-runtime-6.0.11-win-x64.exe into wine prefix

Hope this helps.

I will check that setting, thanks.
