Lovely.
I haven't been able to get the Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) to run under Steam lately. I was able to get it running under Lutris, and it was fine until the 5.20 update. Haven't been able to play at all. It was good while it lasted, I guess. Time to look for a new solution. If anybody has any recs, I'd love to hear them. I'm running Linux Mint 22.3.
EDIT
Thanks for the recommendations and advice, all! I'm going to give Heroic a shot and see how it goes.
Bottles works much in the same way, and I always prefered it to Lutris. It's also pretty easy to use plain old Wine if you're comfy at all in the terminal. Pair it with winetricks and you can run most games with little hastle
is there a website like lutris has with all the install scripts others have made?
You run the game's actual installer exe file in the bottle to install the game. No installation script needed.
you should be able to just move the prefix into the folder managed by bottles or heroic, or add the existing folder location to either of those. All of them just present visuals on top of wine/proton. Might also have to manually download and set the wine/proton version from whichever apps built in management.
Bottles is also ran by an absolute shitty person who's slowly going insane.
Frankly I would avoid bottles even more then lutris and if your going to avoid both just use herotic.
Oh no, what's happening with Bottles now?
