There’s a fair amount of sailor talk around here. Any captains manage to get their booty to run on Linux? I tried ff7 remake to no avail

Of course! If it has an installer, run it through Bottles first.

  • Mount the ISO file in KDE/GNOME
  • Create a new bottle in Bottles
  • Open the bottle and select the executable on the mounted ISO to start
  • When choosing an install directory, install to the Z: drive if possible so you don't have to look for the files in your Bottles prefix
  • Follow the installer normally

Once done, you can either start the game directly in Bottles or create a non-Steam shortcut in Steam and select the exe of the game you just installed.

I prefer running it through Steam because then I always have access to the latest Proton versions.

Didn't try FF7 but played Alan Wake 2 like this.

I've also noticed that for some repacks it is better to use a different runner to install and then switch to a gaming runner for running the game.
