Hi, I recently discovered a post that finally allowed me to run the known repacks on Linux, so I decided to summarize everything and share it with you here on Lemmy; let me know if you would improve some steps to make the procedure even easier to follow.

Requirements

lutris, protonup-qt, wine-staging

1. Open Lutris > Preferences > Global Options
2. Enable "Show advanced options"
3. "Disable Lutris Runtime" (off)
4. "Disable Desktop effects" (on)
5. "Disable Screen Saver" (on)
6. "Enable Feral GameMode" (on)
7. Save

Wine Versions Management

1. Open ProtonUp-Qt > choose Lutris > Add version
2. Choose and Install (ignore -LoL versions; Wine-GE suggested)
3. Restart Lutris

Install Windows Repacks

1. Open Lutris > + > Add locally installed game
2. Type the name of your game

Thats crazy, I just simply run the .exe through Lutris and run the game after install lol

ETA: in regards to fitgirl repacks

It's much simpler and faster than it seems! Also consider that the setup of Lutris and Wine is to be done only once.

Same, but using Heroic.

What do I do about this?

Edit: Nevermind, ignored the part where it says to "Use "C:" as destination. My bad!
