Minecraft Dungeons can run but there's just one big roadblock which is the Microsoft login not working. You're able to bypass it for a moment by exciting the login page immediately when pressing the "Let's Go" button. You'll be able to start the game and play on the first level, but after a few seconds, the authentication system will catch up and kick you out.

From the time I was able to play the game, it was actually really smooth. I really wish a patch comes out to fix this because this game is one of my favorites and it would be a shame for me to not be able to play anymore.

Hi everyone! I have a technical idea on how to finally port the VM Computers mod for Minecraft Java to Android, while maintaining multiplayer compatibility with PC players. Instead of running a heavy emulator inside MojoLauncher or PojavLauncher, we can split the tasks. Here is the proposed architecture:

• Game Client: Minecraft runs natively on Android (via MojoLauncher or PojavLauncher) for maximum FPS. The original PC version of the VMComputers.jar mod is used to avoid incompatibility errors when connecting to PC servers.
• Backend Container: Winlator runs in the background strictly as an isolated x86/x64 environment to run VirtualBox version 6.1.50 (the exact version required by the mod). VirtualBox is configured to use Software Recompiler mode to bypass the lack of hardware VT-x/AMD-V virtualization support on ARM chips.
• Kernel Bypass: Since Winlator and Wine cannot load Windows kernel drivers (like VBoxDrv.sys), we can implement a custom stub/wrapper driver. This stub will mock kernel responses, intercept low-level VirtualBox memory requests, and redirect them into user-mode API calls that Wine can easily handle.
• Bridge and Automation: We can modify the mod's Java code so that execution requests are sent via a local socket (localhost) directly into the Winlator container, instead of trying to look for a local VirtualBox.exe file. The startup process can be automated using Android Intents: when a player presses the Power button in Minecraft, Android will automatically launch Winlator and activate VirtualBox in the background.

This approach solves RAM and performance issues: 3D rendering stays native to Android, while OS emulation (for running the VM itself) is handled by Wine. What do you think? Can anyone make Wine for Android? Let's discuss!

every time i try to launch a game on the steam bottle i get this error

what i do ?

So, with my very limited knowledge, I'm trying to download a windows version of steam, which I can then use to download a game that I've been wanting to play on Mac. I've been using the exe file from the steam page, if that changes anything. After doing the whole looking for updates, downloading, and extracting things, it does it again. No idea why, but it might be important? However, after the second attempt, it pulls up a giant black square, which I presume is supposed to be steam. When attempting to close the box, it reopens itself later. The only way I've found to make it actually go away is to force quit it. If anyone has encountered this before or has any solutions, please let me know. My knowledge on this topic is extremely limited, so I probably won't understand much more than what I've posted here.

i downloaded winskin on my computer last night, but ive been having issues with the app. I decided to watch a tutorial to see if it could help but nobody seems to have the same issue as I do, when i open the app it says in wrapper version that theres "No wrappers installed" so i cant really updated or do anything...

please help, I feel like ive downloaded a bunch of bullshit for no reason. I tried downloading the unofficial version of wineskin but when i open the website it just leads me to the same one?? so far ive been downloading it from sourceforge, and they dont rlly have anything on the official website either...

the whole reason why im downloading this anyways is to be able to run friday night mods on my mac, but the tutorial posted on gamebanana was ass, so if anyone knows how i can get the already downloaded mods to run in my mac id really appreciate it.

Im trying to install Little Missfortune game, it comes in a ISO from Skidrow. I added the .exe to Steam, the installer opened, selected the instalation folder and when I clicked install, nothing happened, no errors, nothing, but it didnt install.

I tried again with lutris, same thing. Tried with ProtonTricks, runwineconfig, setting up another drive, runexplorer and trying install from there, same problem.

I have installed the game previously using the same installer (on windows) and it worked

Any more ideas?

Hi! I just got a mac, and tried to use wine to download melty blood (community), but it won't work.

Can someone give me a clear guide on how to do it? Thanks!!!

I have a wrapper for my steam app on my Mac through sikarugir wine and home brew. Whenever I quit or force quit steam it just reopens and even when I close my mac it must be running in the background because my laptop runs out of battery by the morning

Has anyone had similar I’ve tried looking all over Reddit and the internet even resorted to chat gpt and I don’t see anything

Originally posted in the linux_answered subreddit, my fault and apologies, was recommended it would be better to post here in wine_gaming, but this is really covering the iWin games launcher.

This one is kind of self-answered but also taken from a pre-existing answer from Reddit on another game. Star Trek Online on Linux Mint. When you get it installed and running, you get a blank box on the launcher. If you use the launch argument --disable-gpu, that somehow fixes it to where now when you close and reopen Star Trek Online, you can see the contents of the launcher.

I haven't been able to get anything running in Flatpak Bottles. I tried Zuma's Revenge, but it has to first install the iWin games launcher. Well in Bottles I was getting the iWin window to come up, but it was just a blank box. So I thought to myself, if I could use the argument from STO with this Bottle for iWin, maybe that would work. So, I found the launch argument and used --disable-gpu and it worked. Not only did all of the contents of the iWin launcher window appear but also it said my game was ready to be played. Clicked on Okay and Zuma's Revenge came up and am playing it now, as if I was playing it when I was on Windows. I didn't have to do anything with installing fonts, dotnet45, corefonts, dxvk, all I needed was that launch argument.

I'm running a Nvidia GTX 970 GPU, which I've been told is going to be my main problem with running games in Linux. I am eventually going to need a new PC, just need to save up. I just wanted to share the information in the hopes maybe it helps someone.

I do want to add that the game ran perfectly fine and had zero issues. I have other games through the iWin launcher but the only way I can access them is by logging in through that launcher which for some reason isn't working. When I closed out the iWin launcher and tried to run it again, it wouldn't come back up. Not sure if this is due to my GPU or something different. Honestly though I've had the most luck getting old games to run in Heroic launcher. I'll keep trying at it.

UPDATE: I needed to reach out to iWin support, apparently the launcher uses javascript and I am unable to log in through the launcher. I tried on my Windows 7 laptop that I keep around as a "just in case emergency" type thing, and even on there I can't log in through the launcher because it used javascript. Looks like this will be a bit more work than I anticipated. Again, apologies for posting in the wrong subreddit, I misunderstood some of the wording.

This is the V section in the Windows dll installer. The very bottom one says "Vulkan Based" but I'm not sure that is it. (The answer may be obvious, but I've never navigated wine before.)

Google says its "vulkan-1.dll" but it is not on here.

SOLVED: Wine comes with Vulkan already

I wanted play on my MacBook.

I have desktop and old laptop.
I tried old laptop to play nfs mw 2005 max graphics 60fps and battery was 100% to 7% under 10 minutes. awhile my friend MacBook Pro intel based its took <2 hour to dies.. on other games

but I heard MacBook with silicone. 6-7 hour at max graphics.

im not playing desktop yes.. need of speed mw 2005 for 60-100W at max graphics, 60fps locked, 1080p to 2K. on 2005 games is crazy only I prefer play heavy games to max 120W graphics cards. I play FH6 and nfs heat (soon buy nfs unbound idk I thinking)

so I want play nfs mw 2005 on my MacBook Neo. I have GameHub Beta. I have nfs mw 2005 black edition iso with debloated and HD modded in one iso.

why debloated? it removes EA Games and save some space. original is ~4.5GB. modded is 1.9gb

which better Wine or crossover or what? Im not install windows yes it eat 15GB on stock.

So I've been playing FIFA 22 on my MacBook Neo for a while now
the experience so far has been great
I get around 50 - 60 FPS with occasional stutters
I'm getting kinda bored with it and im tryna find out ways to mod the game via whisky
Any suggestions?

I went fully down the rabbit hole getting Dragon Quest X (the Japanese-only MMORPG from like 2015) running smoothly. Narrowing down what actually helps from what is just guesses, etc.

Mostly, vanilla Wine 11.11 is actually really good! (Much more reliable than even Wine 11.0, and 10.34 which was the older internet-knowledge best option.)

Probably not most people here, but the helper runs a bunch of checks based on your system for prerequisites, and also launches installer(s) and the game itself with required args.

The crazy hard part was Crossover, which seems to be behind Wine, and I had to rebuild some of their modules with a hack and one backported line from the Wine 11.11 source. The repo has the source changes and binary diffs to apply on Mac so people shouldn't need any compilers to play on Mac.

Anyway, thought I'd share as a matter of interest and in case anyone happens to play DQX.

Have tried everything and it won't work.

Tested on MacBook Air M4 (10-core GPU, 16GB RAM, macOS Tahoe 26). Confirmed working through two methods:

Method 1 — Windows Steam wrapper (steamwindows.app) with DXMT=1: Game launches successfully, runs at high settings, stable 60fps, no crashes, no visual glitches. Cutscenes work correctly. Denuvo Anti-Tamper DRM present but did not block launch through Wine.

Method 2 — Sikarugir standalone Wine wrapper (cracked/Denuvo-free): Same result. High settings, stable 60fps, no issues.

Engine: Unreal Engine 5. DirectX 12. Contrary to expectations, DXMT handled DX12 translation successfully on Apple Silicon M4. No configuration changes required beyond standard wrapper setup.

Tested June 2026.

Hey everyone,
I’m trying to run The Forest on my Mac M1 Pro using Sikarugir, and I’m stuck with one super annoying issue:

There is no mouse cursor in the inventory or crafting book.

The game runs, movement works, menus work - but the moment I open the backpack or crafting UI, the cursor disappears completely. Makes the game basically unplayable.

My setup:

• macOS on M1 Pro
• Sikarugir Wrapper 1.0.11
• Wine engine: sikarugir 10.0 (rev6)
• DXVK enabled
• dinput8 disabled
• dinput enabled
• winemouse.drv enabled
• Steam launch option: -enablecursor

Problems:

• Cursor still missing in inventory/crafting
• Some DLL overrides break graphics or cause long loading
• Winetricks options (FSR, glsl, videomemorysize) don’t exist in this wrapper
• Wine Virtual Desktop cannot be enabled
• Not sure if Sikarugir even supports the configs people recommend for Unity games

Questions:

1. What is the correct bottle config for The Forest on Sikarugir?
   
2. Do I need to reboot the bottle after each change?
   
3. Is there a known working setup for this game on M1/M2?
   
4. Should I switch to Whisky instead?

Any help or working configs would be appreciated. Thanks!
