Don't worry, return to Winetricks and try again.


Most recent games will need you to add, through Winetricks:
vcrun2019, d3dx10_43, d3dx11_43, d3dcompiler_43 or 46 or 47.

inside a single wrapper. Aliases allow you to make shortcuts outside the wrapper.

your windows filesystem, e.g. launch custom tools directly like mod managers, setup executables etc.

Try Explorer++
