It never stops to amaze me.
Hello, I'm Playing with winehq-devel, debian Sid, xfce.
How I installed a fully functional default wine prefix, based on the one teached here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbbXoqDfkY0&t=1s
-> this can be executed all at once:
WINEPREFIX="path/to/prefix" winetricks dotnet20 dotnet48 d3dcompiler_43 d3dcompiler_47 d3dx9 d3dx10 d3dx11_42 d3dx11_43 faudio vcrun2005 vcrun2008 vcrun2010 vcrun2012 vcrun2013 vcrun2015 quartz
-> these better executed one by one, retry if needed. -> first time all is downloaded and cached . -> /home/user/.cache/winetricks/
WINEPREFIX="path/to/prefix" winetricks dxvk
WINEPREFIX="path/to/prefix" winetricks faudio
WINEPREFIX="path/to/prefix" winetricks sdl
WINEPREFIX="path/to/prefix" winetricks ogg
WINEPREFIX="path/to/prefix" winetricks openal
WINEPREFIX="path/to/prefix" winetricks 7zip
WINEPREFIX="path/to/prefix" winetricks corefonts
WINEPREFIX="path/to/prefix" winetricks vcrun2019
WINEPREFIX="path/to/prefix" winetricks winamp
I'been playing Warcraft III and Frozen Throne, Battle for Middle Earth series, plants vs zombies, Stalker Anomaly (like in the video). -> all fine.
Most "portable" apps (contained within their own directory, needing basic windows DLLS, hence, "portables") of the era work fine as long as the required runtimes are installed, that can be done with a little research.
I found that running from Thunar's right click -> wine windows program loader -> works better than doing it from CLI for some cases.. strange, but yes.
I Undestand that these winehq deb pkgs are not compiled with ntsync support, even the latest ones. I guess sometime in the future they'll be? I might compile wine +ntsync support myself, also. but for now I have the kernel driver compiled in, waiting for that update in the near future. Maybe I get tired of waiting and decide to compile wine.
