Problems running Neverwinter through Lutris' standalone launcher
Hello. I want to launch Neverwinter using Lutris without running Steam. I've had some success running Neverwinter through PlayOnLinux, but I prefer the new Lutris UI and would rather not have to deal with steam accounts and DRM (even though Neverwinter itself probably has its own DRM).
Has anyone had any luck with the standalone launcher? I got the Arc launcher (note: not the Neverwinter launcher) to boot but whenever I click the install button for neverwinter it crashes. I assume it has something to do with the Arc launcher not having permission to modify the `drive_c` directory but I'm not sure. If someone's gotten the standalone launcher to work what steps did you take?

To start up Neverwinter, I place the script below into /usr/local/games and make sure the $PATH environment shows it using;
$ echo $PATH
#!/bin/bash
run_game ()
{
#This is the path to my game launcher, you need to find where yours is located.
cd '/media/MY_USER_ID/Drive D/Cryptic Studios/'
wine Neverwinter.exe
}
#This checks to make certain I don't have the game client up and running.
if [[ $(ps -ef | grep GameClient | grep -v grep | wc -l) != 0 ]]; then
zenity --question --text "Neverwinter Running, are you sure?"
if [[ $? = 0 ]]; then
run_game
fi
else
run_game
fi
I save this file as Neverwinter and make the properties as executable by anyone. Then I can make a desktop shortcut to this script.
------------ Simplest Method ------------
All of that aside the simplest and best thing to do;
I will assume you have Wine installed properly.
1. Open Filemanager and navigate to your Neverwinter.exe
2. Right click the file Neverwinter.exe
3. Open with...
4. check "Set as default"
5. Select your Wine 5.0
Now you should be able to make a link to the Neverwinter executable on your desktop, click to run it.
I have nothing against the front-ends, even the commercial version Crossover is another front-end. You are actually paying for their user support. I haven't checked into Lutris lately but a few years ago it was sort of clunky user interface. Sorry I cannot help you more with your front-end, but fortunately Lutris has a support forum here.

In fact, running a script might be more useful towards me since I am using a tiling window manager and could launch it with a keybind.
However, I will also make sure to ask on the Lutris forums.
