or maybe the game isn't good on WINE, simple as that.

#

or app, which was designed to be used on MS WINDOWS

unkempt portal
#

try alternate things

idle relic
#

I reccomend trying installing the game with Heroic Games Launcher instead of Lutris, Lutris is known to fail at installing certain games due of umu-launcher, and using wine-ge, which is borked and deprecated, while Heroic brings Proton-GE, which is more appropriated for gaming, and lets you bring your own installer/.exe like Lutris, so prefer that

#

If you prefer an little Lutris-like tool for general software/an few games, there's Bottles, both Heroic and Bottles are on the Software Center

#

Yeah, Linux is an adventure that you will have lots of experiences, be it succeses, or deep into the failures

#

These are just elitists, Linux has its own plera of people, some will be really nice folks like Stunner and Mr. Bones, Curunir, or the most abominations of the basements dwellers

#

I am just a geek, not an full time Linux (maybe I am since I like messing with how my OS works), and you will get right into the burst of flame that you need, and right into the game

#

It took me 1 year to learn everything that I know

#

Arch/GNU elitists, not generalizing, but I fear them

#

Anyways, if you pick the right distro like Mint/Zorin and PopOS, you will have no problem

#

Both have enough guides, and has the motherland of Ubuntu to even have more assist

#

Just don't fall for the "Go back to Windows, <insert insult>", sometimes the answer was just hidden in somewhere, and it was just 1 click of distance

#

Anyways, tell me when you have tried Bottles/Heroic

#

Mint/Zorin/PopOS uses apparmor/uncomplicated firewall (security related stuff), if you ask xD

#

But every distro is secure by default

#

If you enable the firewall, it's more secure than a default Windows install

#

You can add a custom game

#

It's just that their main focus are these game circle, but you can add a custom installer

#

People back then installed Affinity on Heroic/Bottles before it became an AppImage

#

It will install in the background, just don't close it before it is installed

#

And I reccomend installing Bottles just incase

idle relic
#

Then how you expect the thing to open if it cannot find the installer

#

Yeah, Wine from the app store is 1 or 2 major verions behind

#

There`s lots of improvements from Wine 9 to 10

#

Fuck, well I have to sleep now

#

@unkempt portal If you can later assist when you are avaliable

idle relic
#

Hey, do you really really need that software?

#

And remember, Linux =/= Windows, better to find alternatives or trying to run it with Wine or Proton

#

And Mint is not the only distro, there is Zorin which has Windows App "Compatibility"

#

What it does exactly?

#

If you cannot even get the installer on a locked zip file, then how you expect Wine, Heroic, to even open it?

#

Maybe the libraries of Python were all there, and including the installer

#

It's like asking for an impossible miracle

#

Not even Windows can execute a file with the libraries which is locked

#

The rating on winedb is Silver, but let me try something

#

Final Fantasy XI online, right?

#

So, you have trying running with Ashita right?

#

You should never reinstall or delete Python

#

It's already there's no need for removing

#

Yeah, can't blame you

#

Alright, forget Lutris

#

Install Wine, from the software center, and equip yourself with winetricks incase

#

Preferably 9.0

#

Yes you can

#

You just need to add the game executable in the library, then run it with Proton

#

Winehq I sent you last night?

#

Is your Steam Flatpak or Native?

#

Then try to open the game executable/installer with the wine app

#

It will appear when you right click the executable and "open with"

#

Hmm, is the game synced with your account?

#

Sorry, I don't understand of this universe

#

Do you have winetricks?

#

Alright, install dotnet462, gdiplus, corefonts

#

You probably have it installed already

#

Where did you installed the executable?

#

I am asking if they are sabotaging the linux builds

#

Execute it with wine

#

Install Lutris on your system.
Refer to the Lutris documentation for the best way to do this for your system.
Configure Lutris to use the most recent version of Wine.
(Currently Wine-GE-Proton8-26)

#

Resuming

#

Install Lutris, and make it use this Wine-GE version

#

It's already embedded

#

What are these python errors?

#

You said you messed with Python

#

Okay, listen

#

Get Lutris through Flatpak, your is probably native version, and you fucked up with some system component

#

Lutris in Flatpak has everything embedded as component and is contained in another folder, far away from your system

#

And not only that, the native version of Lutris has been unupdated for 2 years, while the flatpak version had updates from a few months or days ago

#

Even if that does not work, blame Windower/Ashita devs for doing a shitty port of their software, and not even guarantee that their software works at least through Proton/Wine/Lutris

#

The vanilla game runs okay, right?

#

Do not need to tell me

#

Every support, and every page of the game told me to use Lutris, yet it failed

#

So don't you think the devs are in bad faith with linux support?

#

Nope, developers are hard as fuck to deal with them

#

They think they are "the best", and that "Linux is just an niche thing"
Honestly I would avoid them and play the vanilla game

#

If the developer leader actually had time to block Linux users or clearly tell Linux users to fuck off or says that Linux is just an niche, I do not even buy their software or game, for me they will starve

#

Hm, do you have an second computer/laptop?

#

Not the FFXI devs, just the windower and ashita devs

#

Fuck...

#
  1. FFXIClient (FFXI Lua Scripts)
#

Do you know this?

#

It runs native on Linux, allows Lua scripts

#

Since Ashita and Windower are just Lua scripts right?

#

@icy adder Here ya go

#

Let me try to find it

#

I remember there was an FF11 thing

#

Alright @elder cobalt What's stopping you from putting the non-windows game executable?

idle relic
#

Let me see if it's a Steam problem

#

Could you handle me the .exe?

#

lmfao

#

I am installing Steam rn

#

Alright, wait for me to install it

#

I will record for you

#

Okay, this happened with me

#

@icy adder I managed to open with Heroic

#

Wine 10-20

#

Let's see if it actually opens

#

@icy adder It did open

#

Just a black screen

#

Now Windower

#

@icy adder It does works on Heroic

#

Now I wonder how it actually install

#

Okay, time to unupgrade dotnet to 4.5

#

Alright, here's the tip, dotnet48

#

Winetricks

#

Have it installed, and select the default prefix

#

Now we wait

image.png
#

No, don't need

#

And the dll is named "dotnet48"

#

You need to install winetricks from software center, I am sure it is there

#

It is in alphanetical order, it's somewhere in d

#

And you need to click on "install dlls or fonts from Windows"

#

Installling now 4.8 now

#

Show me the screen before you clicked that

#

Select the default wineprefix

#

We will use the default one for Heroic, keep for that

#

And then install an dll

#

And there will be the dotnet48

#

@icy adder The quest is almost finished

image.png
#

I installed dotnet48 on default wineprefix, then made the executable on heroic link to the .wine in the user's folder which is hidden with Ctrl + H

#

Alright, do you need both Windower and Ashita, or is one enough?

idle relic
#

Yeah, just keep going

#

Yeah, just keep going

#

@icy adder Why do you always fuck up your installations?

#

Do you still have Wine from Winehq installed?

#

Run it, then run it from there

#

Did you actually ran the commands it told you for Ubuntu 24.04?

#

If so, then run it with Wine, no need for Heroic

#

Because all I did was just run native Wine with Heroic

#

Find the exe of Windower after installing dotnet48, and then just run it with open with

#

Yeah

#

So, did it worked?

#

@icy adder Also for fuck sake, do not spend 1/4 of your life on a game

#

'-'

#

Fuck this, I ran out of option

#

Just don't do it for the future, and I ran out of options

#

Mint does not work with Wine that well, tried it with GTA SA

#

While Wine on games that I played like GTA SA, GTA VC, run well on Zorin and Arch-based, even Ubuntu

#

But Mint, on the same settings, give this same error

#

ZorinOS is the same base as Ubuntu, and it's an pretty Mint, and has pre-installed installer for Wine 10

#

Like I say, Wine is an duct tape solution

#

Proton is more complete for this, but only for gaming

#

Honestly, I ran out of options, and I cannot find anyone who can take over

#

An tip, if you still wish Linux, ZorinOS is an better option for Wine applications

#

And is the same size the ISO for Mint, 3 GB

#

And is easy as Mint in some aspects

#

Yeah, no test will be perfect

#

I started with ZorinOS when I first started

#

It was better due of the time I got it

#

Try ZorinOS first, and the first thing you will do is installing Windows App Support, and install Winetricks, and then do the dotnet48 stuff, then I am sure it will run

#

Cosmic/PopOS is not that great imo

idle relic
#

If you want Arch, but easy, go for CachyOS

#

Yeah, but CachyOS is a more perfect canditate

#

And has recent Wine and also works mostly

idle relic
#

My two best distro for you are
CachyOS (with KDE, don't aim for other DEs)
ZorinOS 18 Core

#

Thanks

#

Good luck in the future endeavour

#

If you need help in set up your system or a second round after you get one of those distros, don't hesitate to call me

#

Yeah, call me when you draw another distro

#

I will answer as soon as I can

#

See ya soon, and good luck

#

Stay safe
