minus-square@sunbytes@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish1•12 days agoI had my first issue since switching just yesterday (I’ve been switched for a couple of months). I wanted to run some mod installers for the old Kotor games but they’re .exe files. Only stuff I could get working was manual file-replacements and steam workshop mods.
minus-square@NoPanko@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglish1•12 days agoYou should be able to use those mod installers by running them with wine within the wine prefix Kotor is installed in surely?
minus-square@sunbytes@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish1•11 days agoNot sure about wine. Haven’t used it since like 2016. I’m running all my games in steam with proton. Not sure if that’s connected at all.
minus-square@NoPanko@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglish1•11 days agoProton is just wine with some extra stuff added, if you install protontricks this explains what to do. protontricks-launch --appid <APPID> <EXE> Should get you what you want, you can find app id by looking at the url of the game in the steam store or using protontricks -s <GAME NAME>
