So, okay, I copy and paste that into the terminal.
#Winebottler steam how to#
Most importantly, they specifically say that they had to run it in 64bit to get it to work, just as I suspected! It even mentioned something about how to do this, saying the game launches with a simple WINEPREFIX= wine64. But, they are running it on fedora not mac, so that throws things off. &iId=38004), and they said it worked great. I tried looking up Pathologic 2's compatibility with Wine, (obviously I'm taking a risk here in the first place, this game is pretty new even if it is indie and not very demanding), and hot damn somebody made a post of test results for running Pathologic 2 in wine (.
#Winebottler steam windows#
Is this what the video meant by running things in 64bit? I tried running it in Windows 8.1, since that's new and probably has something to do with 64bit, and because considering when Pathologic 2 was released, it certainly should be compatible with 64bit. The video seemed to imply that this could be done with winecfg, but I tried figuring that out, and all I could find was that I could tell it to run certain programs in specific versions of Windows. I figured since Pathologic 2 is pretty new, it probably needs to be run in 64bit. I've heard 64bit and 32bit get thrown around my whole life but I don't /really/ know what they mean, just that 32bit is old and 64bit is new. In the tutorial video I saw that first taught me how to use Wine to run Windows games, it mentioned that a lot of games need to be run in 64 bit. Is this because I'm using the Development build? Does the game need to be reconfigured? My brain hurts. Pathologic 2 downloads properly, all the game files are there, but when I launch it, it does everything normally, even says in Steam that the game is running, but no window ever appears. So I tried using the Wine Development build rather than the Wine Stable, and hey presto, this problem was immediately solved, but now I'm running an even buggier build. I tried verifying game installation, and it would immediately say everything was verified and correct, but obviously it still wouldn't run. I went in and checked and yeah, literally none of the files were there. When I tried to launch the game, it would say error, you're missing the damn.
#Winebottler steam download#
I tried installing Pathologic 2, but after installing, it would essentially skip the download and say it was fully downloaded instantly. I'd download steam through Winebottler, and I'd click launch, and a little icon would appear for a moment, then nothing. I tried using Winebottler but it couldn't even launch Steam for me. So far I haven't managed to make any games launch through wine, though granted I haven't really tried with many. This is similar to my problem with Pathologic 2 so I thought I'd mention it in case it's relevant. Things went smoothly for the most part right off the bat, but once I had the game downloaded through steam, whenever I would try to launch it, it would bring up a black screen, I'd have a little hourglass cursor, and then it would close completely and Steam wouldn't even say it's running. So I started with trying to run Pathologic Classic HD since it's a way older game and probably easier to run in Wine. Just a heads up I'm using macOSX El Capitan on a MacBook Air Jump to the last paragraph if you want the real crux of my issue, everything before that is just additional info about what I've been doing. I'm very new to Wine and not the wisest tech wizard so hopefully my problem isn't that hard to solve. I've been trying to play Pathologic 2 on steam for about a week now and I've made some progress and I feel I'm very close to cracking it, but I'm at a loss here and would really love some help.
