I tried to switch over to Bottles for my app, couldn't make it work.
(I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, but Lutris worked out of the box, so... )
I couldn't get either Lutris or Bottles working, and then I've also tried Heroic but to no avail. I ended up adding the game as a custom title to Steam and running it with Proton from there worked somehow.
But all of these launchers do the same more or less, so I'm sure it this was more akin to "fourth times the charm" than the other launchers being flawed.
