I asked this in Ask Lemmy and was redirected here.

I have Linux Mint. I am trying to play BFME (Battle For Middle-Earth), BFMEII, ROTWK & TAOTR. However, I have gone down numerous rabbit holes with no resolution.

So many websites, with outdated information or lack thereof. Any help would be appreciated.

If you could, break down the steps for how to obtain this, so I can learn.

Now I was told https://bfmeladder.com/ works with Lutris

But, same issue, can’t get any of the games to work.

    You haven’t explained how you own the game. We need more information to troubleshoot.

    What platform are you trying to install it from?

    Lutris is just slop it breaks constantly and it’s unreliable. Try Heroic Launcher.

        It does. Very well. Comes with the GE (Glorious Eggroll) version of Proton by default.

        I use it for all non-Steam/-native games.

        From what I understand, it does! You can select what wine/proton version to run similar to the way steam does AFAIK.

        I installed Rocket League through heroic and it was infinitely simpler than the lutris install I did years ago. I don’t even have to have the epic games launcher installed, one click install and one click play from the heroic launcher.

      I downloaded Heroic Launcher. I created a wine prefix. However, I do not have the game files. How do I proceed forward from here?

        What do you mean you don’t have the game files? As in, you don’t have the installer?

        Normally you should click on “New Game”, give it a name, then “run installer” and it’ll allow selecting the installer wherever it is on your disk, run through the installation procedure, and finally you have to select “path to executable” and navigate to game’s executable in the wine prefix.

        If you already have the installed game files, create a “New Game”, give it a name, save it, open the win prefix, copy the game files into the prefix (e.g C:/Game) and in heroic again, select the path to the executable.

        If that isn’t helping, you need to provide more information about your situation.
