Lovely.
I haven't been able to get the Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) to run under Steam lately. I was able to get it running under Lutris, and it was fine until the 5.20 update. Haven't been able to play at all. It was good while it lasted, I guess. Time to look for a new solution. If anybody has any recs, I'd love to hear them. I'm running Linux Mint 22.3.

EDIT
Thanks for the recommendations and advice, all! I'm going to give Heroic a shot and see how it goes.

Bottles works much in the same way, and I always prefered it to Lutris. It's also pretty easy to use plain old Wine if you're comfy at all in the terminal. Pair it with winetricks and you can run most games with little hastle

is there a website like lutris has with all the install scripts others have made?

[–] Sophocles 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

With wine you just need to know what winetricks to use, e.g. like if a game needs dotnet 4.0 or another windows runtime/prerequisite. Winehq has a similar premise with different compatabiltiy ratings and steps others have taken to troubleshoot. You wont get installer scripts but you will get good directions most of the time. Any game rated platinum or gold is a breeze to set up

Imma be honest, outside of Proton I just hate dealin with wine.

Which is why i liked Lutris and its install scripts so much.

but i will definitely bookmark that link in case i give wine a try again. tyvm
