Your game doesn't work? Here is a list of things to try:

  • Try another wine version. Wine-GE often works. Other options are Wine-TKG, and Caffe. (For Steam: another Proton version, for example Proton-GE). Using older versions can also help.
  • Search the internet for a solution (for example with SearXNG, duckduckgo, etc.). Also look in this wiki.
  • Try fiddling with options. If you use Lutris, there might be options that are not optimal. For example, it could be necessary to disable or enable things like virtual desktop, esync, fsync, or others.
  • Try Bottles.
  • Use a fresh wine prefix. You can copy, move, or symlink the game files to your new prefix if you don't want to download everything again. You can either use your file manager or the terminal.
