Yeah, of course. There are plenty. I couldn’t play Ghostwire Tokyo at all. And Ghostrunner required some random Windows package, vc2019 or something like that. That’s just off the top of my head.
From epic freebies? I got it running by just installing vcrun via wine tricks button in heroic launcher. Steam games usually install these at first launch behind the scenes.
@helenslunch@umbrella A lot of Windows games need vc runtime or other libraries installed on the system.
Steam users got this managed from the installer (also in linux) but if you install it manually from the game installer chances are that the installer may not manage their dependences.
On linux world you can get a lot of oresets using lutris btw
Xbox cloud seems like a decent alternative when games simply don’t run easily on Linux
Xbox cloud requires a controller, which kinda defeats the purpose of playing on PC imho.
That said, it DOES work well if you’re into that kinda thing. I tested it out with MS Edge installed via flatpak.
I didn’t realize that. That’s dumb.
Yeah I was pretty disappointed when I realized that. Oh well.

I don’t know what any of that means but it’s not something I ever had to do with Windows.

Yes I understand all of that. My point is, once again, this is additional configuration I never had to figure out with Windows.

I didn’t pirate anything

Yes I’m aware. That’s what I said I did. The point being that it wasn’t as simple as it is on Windows.
