Right click on the Lutris game icon and select configure.
Done.
There.
adjacent to Runners select Install Runners and from that pane choose which version(s) of Wine you want installed.
This is where you lose me. There is a Runner pop-up menu from which I can select between Linux and Wine. It also lets me select the "Select a runner from the list" entry, which I`m sure is
not going to work. I find a tab "Runner options" which allows me to select between "System (5.0 Ubuntu 5.0-3ubuntu1))" and "wine-ge-8--26-x86_64 (default)".
In the Lutris Preferences window, I find a "tab" "Runners", where I can "Add, remove or configure runners". The Wine entry on this list has a top portion that resembles the "Runner Options" tab in the Configure Game window, and a bottom portion that does not resemble anything else I`ve seen so far.
None of this offers to allow me to "choose which version(s) of Wine [I] want installed." I`ve found a place or two which allows me to choose which already-installed version to use, though, as mentioned above.
Is it possible that my recently-downloaded Lutris has had a revision since the download of the version you are using to base your directions to me on? (That seems awkward, but I trust you to understand my intent. I think I might be using a newer Lutris than you are looking at.)
Back at the game configuration pane under the Wine Options tab you can now select which of the loaded versions of Wine you wish to use next time you run that particular game. Currently I'm using GE 8.26 x86_64.
I seem to already be there, despite being unable to follow your directions to get there.
I seem to be using GE 8.25 x86_64. Since it's working well I'm reluctant to make any changes.
Ditto. As far as I can tell, the display update failure in certain known windows, a known issue, and the game window itself freezing hard, an unknown issue, are the only problems I`m having. I have already run the utility that automatically goes out and downloads proprietary drivers as needed, and it it tells me that I neither have nor need any proprietary drivers. Note that these are from the manufacturer of the video circuitry, not from (K)Ubuntu.
I was curious, so I tried an experiment. I copied the command-line command from the desktop icon that Lutris created for me and pasted it into a shell window. I got a fair amount of diagnostic information from just launching and terminating the game. Based on that, I have already installed a package that Lutris was trying to use but couldn`t find: fluidsynth. This will not help me much, because the motherboard audio seems to be deceased.
Beyond that, I could post the output here, if anyone wants to read it, or perhaps more interesting, do likewise for the output of an attempt to launch the game window itself.
Edit: Edited to remove accidental italics and force the accidental Italics command to display instead of italicize.
