![]() Originally posted by Spawn of Totoro:Valve wants native Linux support. Of course, the user has to be informed, that Valve/Steam is not responsible for the gaming expirience. Of course, the implementation time is much higher, but the setup scripts can be managed by the community. There is also an existing software that works that way:, also available for Mac. Building a software component for Steam, that integrates wine and supports setup scripts to set up a game to work with wine in the best way possible. This, of course, will take much more implementation time. Inform the user (one time for all) Valve/Steam is not responsible for the gaming experience. I don't think that would take to much work time. manually adding a wine prefix in the run options of a game. Just allow Linux/Mac users to download Windows Games (by a hidden option for example) and allow the users to manage the runtime environment for themselves, e.g. For that Games I have to use a seperate Steam installation on the Wine platform. Grand Theft Auto,īUT: There are many games available on Steam that aren't that new, but do run very well on Wine. ![]() Wine is not really an option for playing modern Games (in general) on Mac/Linux. Well, you did very good work on porting existing Windows games to Mac and Linux. Use innoextract to extract the files from the setupĪnother way to play GOG games is to use the innoextract tool, which is used to unpack installers created with Inno Setup.How about an option (may be an advanced feature), to also download Windows games for Mac or Linux and run it with Wine. If the game is supported and if you used the correct architecture, it should run without any issues: After the installation is complete, repeat the step 2 by choosing the exe of the game, in my case is War2Launcher.exe keep in mind that if the game is working, you just need to open directly the Wrapper and it’ll launch the game without clicking on Test Run.Click on Test Run to launch the installer:.Open the Wrapper and click on the advanced options to set the path of the installer, e.g.:.Drag and drop the files in the drive_c folder of your Wrapper.Install the game with the offline installerįollow these steps to install correctly the game: Login into your GOG account and click on games under your profile icon to display your games list:Ĭlick on a game and download the offline installer files: Right click on the Wrapper and click on Show package contents, from here you can manage your Wrapper by copying files inside the drive_c folder and other settings through the Wineskin app: You don’t need to use the installer to extract the game files to check the architecture of the exe, I’ll show you later another way to install a game without launching the setup. Keep in mind that you need to use the correct architecture, if you use a 圆4 engine on a x86 game it’s not going to work. Create a Wrapper and navigate to this path ~/Applications/Wineskin you should see the Wrapper that you just created: After that you just need to copy and paste the file in the path ~/Library/Application Support/Wineskin/Engines. If you don’t see the engine from Wineskin, you can download it from here. When you open Wineskin you get an interface like this:īefore creating a Wrapper you need to install an engine, you can download the engine WineCX20 or greater. I noticed that some games on GOG which are also available on macOS, can only be downloaded for the Windows platform, in this case if you see the same game on Steam available on macOS, then buy the game on Steam from the moment you’ll get a better performance with Rosetta 2. ![]() You just need to download a game through the offline installer, of course you have to consider that not all games are supported but it’s much easier to get a game running. ![]() However if you install a GOG game, it’s a complete different story from the moment you don’t need a client opened to play a game. Steam games don’t work very well, I managed to install Castlevania Lords of Shadow Mirror Fate but Wineskin was running the game at 30 FPS or even less in some scenarios. $ brew install -no-quarantine gcenx/wine/unofficial-wineskin ![]()
