You can get Lutris: It’s an open source launcher that you login into with GOG account and it will download the games and wrap them with Wine, similar to Steam. https://lutris.net/.

For “normal” games you could look yourself using ProtonDB regarding every game released on Steam and AreWeAntiCheatYet for most multiplayer games. If a game isn’t available on Steam you have three possibilities. First if it’s available on GOG, Epic Games or Amazon Gaming, you could use the Heroic Games Launcher. Second you could try to run the launchers through Steam itself using once again Proton. Third you…

Can I suggest you head over to the lutris.net site and follow the link the lutris discord – with what you are describing, it would take me 20 minutes to get the base battle.net working so you can see what is causing your issue or 3 days back and forwards here. As a hint, your wine version has known issues, and unless you manually installed the lutris 0.5.14 from the git page in Mint, or are running flatpak, you…

As a data point, you can run a fair number of Windows games under Proton by using Lutris instead of Steam: * https://lutris.net * https://github.com/lutris/lutris It’s an OSS game launcher that takes the place of Steam, and you can set things up to run locally so you don’t even need an account on their system (lutris.net).

My advice would be to go to Protondb first and look at your Steam games and how it would fit. They are graded at Gold/Platinum/Silver in terms of compatibility. Alternatively you can try Lutris if your game is not in Steam. I think there are a few others but I can’t recall any.

ProtonDB is a community list of Steam games rating their playability. Heroic launcher runs GOG and Epic games. Lutris and Bottles can be used to run everything else.

Glad I could help! Proton is awesome. For non-Steam games, I do the same thing, either with Steam (by adding a non-steam game installer, and using proton to install it), or by using Lutris (https://lutris.net/). I generally use Lutris with my GoG library.

Leverage protondb.com and lutris.net for getting games going. Pay attention while lutris is installing certain things, especially with third party launchers like battle.net. When it says “do not log in during this step and just close the window when done” it really means it!

I was installing https://lutris.net/, it is in the repos now, but it wasn’t back then, you can see their download page still referencing github instead of the official repos.

What are you trying to run in wine? If it’s a game have a look at Lutris, or an app have a look at Bottles.

Depending on your distro, try downgrading to an older version of lutris, 0.5.11 should work – or if it uses deb’s, go to the lutris.net -> downloads and follow the Ubuntu guide to get the deb from there. You will need to uninstall the existing version, newer vkd3d and dxvk may not work, but it should get you past this issue.

I’d honestly recommend switching over to Lutris or even Non Steam Launchers over Heroic. I used Heroic when I first got my deck and had major problems with multiple games.

I switched to Lutris at first and didn’t have any issues, and then moved over to NSL a while after as I wanted to play Ubisoft games. I’ve not had any issues since then.

Yes, you can run games from Epic and GOG using either Lutris or Heroic Games Launcher. You can add the launchers via Steam and load them up in gaming mode.

Lutris is a Game Launcher which can be installed so you can play games directly from the Epic Launcher, and others. Definitely worth installing. You can also use Heroic Games Launcher too.

Linux Mint is fine. You’ll want to modify it to start using something lighter than Cinnamon (I suggest OpenBox); 4GB of RAM means that KDE and GNOME/Cinnamon are not going to be fun, and as you’re using it for arcade games, you don’t need much more than a launcher for Steam/RetroArch/EmulationStation/Ludo/Lutris/etc.

BTW all the games you mentioned an interest in playing either run under Linux with Lutris or have a native Linux version.

I installed RDR2 from the Rockstar Games launcher with lutris, and the available script on lutris.net. I added it to Steam’s non Steam apps.

Head to the lutris.net discord server (lutris_support page) and read the pinned message there. There are about 3 things that could be wrong, but interacting on reddit to fix it is difficult as need you to get some data in real time.
