Install the full Visual Studio runtime and try some different settings with winecfg. People recommend Lutris but for me it never made a difference
Run the installer in Proton, then point the steam shortcut to the installed executable. No tools needed except steam
You can find a procedure using Lutris here
Worked great for me on a fitgirl repack.
Not sure if this C is about the same thing, but there it is. Linux crack.
I’ve installed a few through Litrus and they have just worked. This was on SteamDeck and Ubuntu desktop
Install them with Bottles or Lutris
I install them on my Windows Desktop, copy the files, and run them with Proton
Or just
wine
that bitch.That works 99% of the time. I’ve run across a couple that refuse to extract, so I had to run them in a VM and copy the files over.
