Hi!

In the previous video I showed how to create a WINEPREFIX and how to install a software.

·

here I'm going to try some GOG games (DRM-free) and to fix some issues such as:

- the installer crashes
No big deal in most of the cases, but if the game doesn't properly installs try to add -nogui at the end of the command:
WINEPREFIX=~/.gog wine installer.exe -nogui

- the main game's .exe doesn't run
Every GOG game installs a game link in the Start Menu, try to launch it and see if the game run.
they are always located in .../drive_c/users/Public/Start Menu/Programs/GOG.com/game..
ps. you need to run any non .exe files with "wine start"
WINEPREFIX=~/.gog wine start .../users/Public/Start Menu/Programs/GOG.com/...

Another big issue with many games (mostly old ones) is that they tend to mess up the native resolution, this can be easily fixed by:

1) 'enabling a virtual desktop'
2) run the game and set the native resolution
3) disable the virtual desktop

if the resolution is messed up, return to your native resolution by typing:

xrandr -s 1920x1080
