Can someone give me a brief TL;DW?

I use ESDF for movement

Yikes! However, back in the day I remember using zx*? for movement on the BBC Micro :-)

A recommended forum is Linux Crack Support.

Not here. I've been playing Ghostwire: Tokyo for a while now thanks to the Epic giveaway. The only issue I had was when I was setting up the wine prefix and the Denuvo DRM decided that I had installed the game enough times for today!

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

I have been using TW (and its predecessors) for around 17 years and have no major complaints at all! KDE Plasma is my preferred desktop and TW comes with that option as a default. Wayland is available but still has a few niggles with KDE Plasma in my experience.

TW will play both indie and mainstream games with no problem and comes with many repos of up-to-date packages. CoolerControl is a good app for setting up your Kraken if necessary. Your GPU should work out-of-the-box.

TW supports Secure Boot and should detect it when setting up. My advice for installation is to create a bootable USB stick with the network install version of TW and go from there. The GUI allows you to select a default installation or set things up just how you like them.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Happy Tumbleweed user here, since 2006!

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 :-)

Compiled it on my OpenSUSE Tumbleweed system last week. As with the author of the Ubuntu article: I'm rubbish at the game but it compiled and executed just fine!

Good thing I snagged the code then!

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.

Yes, the first part of the config file reads as follows: "{"account_tracker_service_last_update":"13334489856807897","alternate_error_pages":{"backup":true},"announcement_notification_service_first_run_time":"13334506503682677","autocomplete":{"retention_policy_last_version":108},"browser":{"has_seen_welcome_page":false,"window_placement_popup":{"bottom":429,"fullscreen":false,"left":4,"maximized":false,"right":696,"top":28,"work_area_bottom":1170,"work_area_left":0,"work_area_right":1920,"work_area_top":0}},"

I've tried changing the window size fields to other values but this seems to make absolutely no difference at all. Alt+Enter has the same effect as I have previously described.

The game appears to be programmed using javascript.

You can talk about that in c/linuxcracksupport though!

My wife actually loves playing KPatience! I've tried to get her on to slightly more meaty games but sometimes it's the simple ones that win people over :-)
