There’s a dropdown that lets you pick an exe to run in the wine prefix. The wine prefix is basically the emulated* windows environment that Lutris sets up for the game.

* Wine is not an emulator, but I don’t know what other word to use.

The prefix is where the "windows" system is, the default is a .wine folder on your home folder (if i'm correct), if you enable seeing hidden directories and files it will show.

I downloaded a "pre-installed" version from one of the sites on the megathread here, then I added each of the _redist ".exe"s to lutris, intalled all of them except the dxwebinstaller that didn't work, tried to run the game on lutris using Proton Experimental again and it failed.

Honestly fuck microsoft too for creating the windows monopoly.

What game are you trying to run? And can you test installing the packages (the .net runtimes and the vcredist) using a wine-staging from lutris and running the game with the wine-staging? You can install it from the download, on the Wine section on the left of lutris.

Not sure if this is rulebreaking tho, its RE4.

Yea something is different now, DirectX did manage to install, but game doesnt work.

Used the wine-staging to install alk of the _redist .exe files again, tried to run the game using wine-10.8-staging-x86_64, doesn't work, tried Proton Experimental again, and it did have a game crash dialogue box.

Is dxvk and vkd3d enabled in lutris? Maybe bottles will help you if it doesn't work in lutris. Protondb might be good to see too.

Edit: just saw this, there's a wine DLL override that might fix the game (in lutris you can config it on the wine configs) dinput8.dll=n,b .

Steam deck problems are not pc user problems.
