Ahh, I thought you vanished. You’re welcome.

Ugghh. I made a dum dum. Okay, I’ll send it tomorrow then. Don’t redeem the other one.

🎅🎄 ho ho ho

I’m sending the code now. It ends today!

Not a moron, just butter-fingers. Check your DMs.

Aye fellow sailor. I too sailed when I was a wee lad, with no riches. Now it’s time to give back the shared spoils ☠️ 🦜

Comoron? Never heard of that game 🤔

I’d like to add that if you try to install the game on W11, it gives the same issues. It’s hilariously broken.

I have seen that Proton Fixes (getting the random DLLs) is helpful in such scenarios.

There is a lot of conflicting information in this thread. Installation of Steam from package manager VS deb from Valve VS official Flatpak VS official Snap. I know that the official Snap is terrible so I’m ignoring it. The Flatpak has some permission issue but I heard it solves some compatibility issues for some games.

Someone should make a comprehensive guide for each type.

The only pure-linux issues that I have faced in the last few years are due to Wayland. And it’s not an issue, it’s just the legacy application has not yet embraced Wayland yet. Otherwise it has been smooth sailing for me.

You need to create an account to use the Playtron OS. That’s a big no-no for me

To add to your explanation

• most people have the specialized Windows plug. Microsoft has invested a lot of money in making sure people ONLY have access to the Windows plug
• Linux provides the same electricity signal that people need (maybe even better) but since people’s Windows plug don’t work on Linux’s wall socket, they get the impression that Linux doesn’t supply electricity.
• WINE is just the adaptor which people put on their Window’s plug. Now it easily fits on the Linux wall socket.

If I remember correctly, the only thing WINE has “copied” are the function calls and signatures (which are the adaptors as mentioned in the other response). The function implementation is completely original.

• Most games use win32 while developing games
• it’s a mostly open standard
• when you develop games using win32, you decide how you want to deliver the game to the customer (Steam,Epic, your OWN website, GoG)
• Steam can take a cut from your sales but if you don’t like their policy you can deliver the games via other platforms. You have choice
• enter UWA. Games developed using this platform HAS to be delivered via Windows Store. The devs need to get a key which needs to be purchased from Microsoft.#
• Microsoft can disable Win32 apps, if they want, and all games (other than which are on Windows store) will stop working
• games from other platforms won’t work on PC since they are win32. Your choice is removed
• Microsoft can ban you from the store, removing you ability to install apps

This is the way
