I ran winetricks to fix a broken wine setup and was puzzled to see my own username in a URL. Then remembered: in 2015 I mirrored the windows corefonts bc sourceforge broke the URLs (end of https://push.cx/installing-you-need-a-budget-ynab-on-arch-linux). Now winetricks uses my mirror. :) (bug #2142)

winetricks was not this slow what the fuck happened its taking years to install like 10 corefonts

niko gayfamicom tech tip: to remove the annoying white line in minecraft lce when running in wine, remember to install dxvk inside the wineprefix the game is running in !

the command `winetricks dxvk` should do the trick

I got CSP running on Linux Mint! You need the development version of Wine (10.12), since that ver. fixes a bug that was in Wine 10. After that you install the VC++ 2019 runtime with Winetricks (winetricks -q vcrun2019). Also, make sure that you're running CSP in Windows 7 mode in winecfg.

I wonder if I could winetricks melty blood and re:act into working on linux

For anyone playing Final Fantasy XI (not XIV) on Linux using Windower, they recently updated to use an updated version of .NET framework. You'll need to manually add dotnet4.8 with winetricks. #ffxi #linuxgaming

Sanity Restored:

WINEPREFIX=~/.wine/adobecs6/ winetricks allfonts
somehow manually copying fonts into my wine prefix completely fucked up phothoshop CS6 so now I get (mostly - probably 90%) no text for dialog boxes

I also need to get Winetricks, but I cannot tinker with this until I get home from work. >.=.<"

linux build would be based but test it on proton as well, that usually takes care of 90% of games.
redemption worked on winetricks flawlessly for example

has someone updated winetricks to remove the 32-bit installer on 64-bit prefix warning since .NET 4.8 is downloaded as x64 on such systems lol

yeah think im still gonna just continue giving up on gtk4
only thing i have that uses it is winetricks (via zenity) and i dont look at the winetricks gui enough to go out of my way to try to theme it

Adobe Animate 2024 on Wine 10.0.

You need to install gdiplus, dxvk, msxml3 and possibly msxml6 in Winetricks.
