What works

Installing from Steam, Or Other Directory, and prerequisites.

What does not

Problems installing Game, most likely due to newer DirectX, and missing dependencies from Dot-net 4 and 4.7.1.
I Tested on Wine 3.0rc, but could not get past a repeating black screen.  Identical instructions were used so additional testing may reveal a working config.

I also Tested on Wine 2 Staging, with a working 32bit version.  Identical instructions were used so additional testing may reveal a working config.

Workarounds

What was not tested

Other Release versions of Wine 3.

Hardware tested

Graphics:

  • GPU: Intel
  • Driver: proprietary
