I’ve had a lot more success using Bottles over Lutris. Being able to see a list of all possible Windows dependencies and being able to 1 click install any of them is aces. The default Gaming Bottle itself is very good, but I’m not sure how their own custom runner, Soda, performs.
Yea I re-read your post and realized my info was no good. Why I deleted it.
You can install all the M$ Store and Xbox apps. Afterwards the XBox app will tell you all the other apps missing and a 1 click button to install each. It’s just a nice clean blank slate to start with. It doesn’t even have .net or vcredist installed.
What missing feature sets?
Edit: I myself install 2 needed dependencies to get Winget running after a fresh install. One has to do with UWP.
Just doing the lords work and spreading the news of W11 IoT Enterprise LTSC. It only has Defender and Edge; no Xbox, App Store, Copilot, nor Recall, or any other bloat. Perfect for gaming. Don’t waste your time looking for it on sites like massgravedotdev.
I wish they would let us arrange those bottom 3 buttons, again. Having back arrow on the far left is silly when its the most used out of the three.
That’s the plot of the Civil War movie from this year. Nick Offerman and his nameless party started a 3rd presidential term.
“There’s no such thing as retard/idiot proof, only retard/idiot resistant.”
Lmao, I read that and legitimately stopped reading immediately. Thank you. Lesson learned!
Edit: I’m an idiot who stopped reading too soon.
“Dragon Age: The Veilguard is this year’s Alan Wake 2”
…wot…Alan Wake 2 is a work of art, DA:tV is yet another series being dumbed down and half assed.
The first time you play it is immensely intense. If you can, play with friends and only use in game voice. 10/10 moments when the ghost starts to hunt and everyone has to run and hide for their lives and radio comms go static. When it’s all clear talking over voice “everyone alive? Uh oh I don’t hear Steve…” then you find their body in some wild pose, dead.
Edit: Forgot to add, if you’re one of the few with a VR headset, it is an even better experience in VR. Pants extra brown. The experience of hiding in a closet as the ghost tries to open it, and the feeling of actually grabbing and holding onto the doors to keep them closed is mega fun. Also walking around and actually aiming the flashlight, and reaching to your shoulder to mimic the old school walkies with the should mounted extensions.
I saw the picture before reading the title, and started to think I’d forgotten a character from reading the color version of the books years ago. Well done!
1440p@144hz. I play a lot of competitive shooters, and capping single player games @90 or 120 for best graphics.
+1 Jellyfin is the best!
Garand Thumb. Excellent humor, badass historical guns, and new badass guns, too. For example he dresses up as John Wick and has a rep from the company that made the custom guns for the movie bring in the guns, and they shoot them. Seeing a 12ga magazine fed shotgun shoot ~15 rounds in like 2 seconds is terrifying and awesome.
11 IoT Enterpise LTSC is the way to go. Definitely don’t waste your time looking for it on massgravedotdev, because they also definitely don’t have permanent hardware activation instructions, either.
Cant paywalls be bypassed by just using reader mode?
“Yo big G, can you help us? Our planet is dying!” “Best I can do is official Catholic anime girl.” “Understandable have a nice day.”
I’ve tried all the ways, and Bottles was the easiest by far. Make a bottle for games from the high seas, using bottles’ preset for games. Once created change the wine from Soda to whatever you want or just use Soda.
Then inside the bottle look for install dependencies and grab things like vc redist, and dot net. Once that’s done under the bottles’ UI choice “Run Executable” and chose the .exe for the game’s installer. If it doesn’t work as expected, click the cog/gear and select the checkbox for “Run in Terminal” to see where it goes wrong and search online for what fix is needed.
The only time I had to troubleshoot with terminal, was for a mspatcha.dll problem. It was an easy fix: the bottle has a Legacy Wine Tools > Configuration > Libraries, where I found mspatcha listed, then changed it to “Native then Built in.”
Hope that helps.
+1 for Cachy, its Arch with cheat codes for speed.
