Here’s what I do with Dodi an FitGirl repacks:

1. Install wine, its dependencies, and Steam. I use Fedora, so I installed Steam using rpm-fusion’s non-free repository.
2. Double click on the installer and install the game normally in a folder.
3. Launch Steam and add a non-steam game. I select the .exe file used to launch the game.
4. Right-click on the non-steam game and change its preferences to use Proton.
5. Launch the game.

There is this guide available for fitgirl and dodi repacks. Haven’t tried for dodi but fitgirl works for me, but process is pretty much same. Have fun

I’ve had no issues using Lutris. When I add a game, I go through the Lutris menu and choose the Windows installer exe option (not at my computer, I can’t remember the exact name.) I know I’ve done Fitgirl repacks, I think I’ve done a Dodi one.

Have you tried launching it with logging in a terminal in bottles? It can often tell you if its missing something that it needs to launch.

Looking at SteamDB, it looks like it checks VC2015 is installed. So you’ll want to check if your bottle has at least one of: vcrun2015, vcrun2017, vcrun2019 or vcrun2022. It’s pretty likely that’s a required dependancy.

It also installs “DirectX Jun 2010 Redist” which installs or updates a bunch of libraries, I think most if not all of these can be installed to your bottle too. I don’t know which are required but it’s a place to start.

There’s a lot of good advice in here. If shit hits the fan and nothing else works, you can install the repack in a Windows VM, copy the install directory to the host, and add the exe to Bottles. Easy money

Whats with JC141?

Sometimes I find Dodi working and fitgirl not working, sometimes neither works, sometimes both work. I usually get issues related to unarc.dll and similar. I haven’t done repacks (or much gaming for that matter) for weeks now, so I don’t know.
