besides wine, what do you need to run non-steam games?
  • Like others have posted, I use Lutris. I usually have to supplement it with game posts on the protondb website so I know what fixes might be needed. Often they have some environment variables that might be useful or they list certain items that need to be installed via winetricks(or in steam's case protontricks). Some games just don't run but you can usually get a lot of them to run.

  • Newer games have bad achievements and difficulty options right?
  • This is because some people who aren't as good at the game still want to feel like they earned all of the achievements. I feel that its a lot more inclusive and even though it feels more like "everybody wins a prize" I feel like if you truly love a challenge you shouldn't need an achievement for doing it. I would rather have gaming be more inclusive than exclude some people.

  • Games with absolute banger OSTs (and perhaps good stories / gameplay)
  • My choices are the following:

    • Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor - Good guitar riffs and it fits the mood of the game
    • Brutal Legend - Lots of music, lots. Ozzy Osbourne is in the game
    • Final Fantasy 8 - I think it had a memorable soundtrack
    • Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas - The original radio stations were great in this game.
  • Need help launching a windows specific arcade game via lutris.
  • from this i would guess wine is missing some libraries needed to run the application. Which one I am not sure, either DPAPI.DLL or gdi32full.dll. Wine often is missing libraries or implements its own versions which can have limited functionality. In this case I would probably use winetricks and try to see if they are installed and if not, install via winetricks and try again.

  • Need help launching a windows specific arcade game via lutris.
  • Does this game launch at all just using wine(not lutris just wine)? wine I believe is capable of running .bat files so I suspect if you try to run using just wine you might see some errors explaining whats happening.

  • Probably the best quake game with a story. I would argue Quake 3 Arena was the best in terms of popularity but as far as the Quake games with an actual campaign, this is probably the best of them. Quake 4 felt like a remake of Quake 2 but it wasn't as fun. Quake 2 had a RTX version made as well which could be seen as a remaster. I wonder if its really just a remaster or an actual remake.

  • Replaying Final Fantasy VIII(man the battles are long)
  • I recently played through the original version(non remake) on steam. There was a way to speed up battles / tools to add magic to your characters so you didn't have to spend all day drawing magic. I would be surprised if the remake didn't have any of this. (I used to leave chocobo world running when I wasn't playing)
