I'm trying to run a 64bit game from a desktop shortcut (created by hand.) The app "runs", but with problems.
If I use a launcher app called "Lutris", it works perfectly. But it's annoying have to wait for Lutris to load before I can run my app.
The shortcut contains the command: bash -c 'cd "/media/{username}/Evo300/{foldername}/Binaries" && wine {app}.exe'
I'm thinking either there are switches I can add after "wine", or replace "wine" with something else (I already tried the folder name of my 64bit profile "AMD64", but that (of course) did nothing.
Any ideas? Thx.
CLI switch to force 64bit mode?
Re: CLI switch to force 64bit mode?
Lutris does two things that I think are preventing you from playing like that. It uses it's own versions of wine which are labeled "lutris-XXX-XX_XX", and usually also makes it's own wineprefix. You should get better results if you use lurtis' wine runner and prefix.
You can easily find the prefix inside lutris by right clicking on the library and going to "Configure". In there, there will be a tab called "Game options" that contains a field called "Wine prefix" (you should also pay attention to the executable field in there). The wine runner is located at "~/.local/share/lutris/runners/wine" In there, you will find lutris' wine versions and you can use it to play the game. You should also check what version of wine lutris is using by going to back to the configure screen from before and going to "runner options".
BTW, you should learn about the environment variable WINEPREFIX= and check if the prefix architecture is 32-bit. If it is, use "WINEARCH=win32" environment variable.
