May I ask, which wine runner do you use? I found that the system's wine (wine.wow.WaylandFull on nixos) and the wine-ge seemed to works (sometimes only one of the two works, other times both). Did you get it to work with umu by any chance?

Also for some reason I couldnt get Lutris to properly run, but somehow Bottles works for me🤷

Btw, about dependencies, I found the Depots tab of games listed on steamdb.info to be really helpful to decide which one to install.

For a while I was using the latest Lutris-GE-Proton, then when they discontinued that branch I started using Wine-GE.

Yeah I've heard that some people can run into issues like that with Lutris. I've used it for a few years without issue. I'm glad Bottles is working for you.

Thanks for the tip on the depots page! I'll probably be using that a lot now.
