Like others have posted, I use Lutris. I usually have to supplement it with game posts on the protondb website so I know what fixes might be needed. Often they have some environment variables that might be useful or they list certain items that need to be installed via winetricks(or in steam's case protontricks). Some games just don't run but you can usually get a lot of them to run.

This is because some people who aren't as good at the game still want to feel like they earned all of the achievements. I feel that its a lot more inclusive and even though it feels more like "everybody wins a prize" I feel like if you truly love a challenge you shouldn't need an achievement for doing it. I would rather have gaming be more inclusive than exclude some people.

My choices are the following:

• Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor - Good guitar riffs and it fits the mood of the game
• Brutal Legend - Lots of music, lots. Ozzy Osbourne is in the game
• Final Fantasy 8 - I think it had a memorable soundtrack
• Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas - The original radio stations were great in this game.

from this i would guess wine is missing some libraries needed to run the application. Which one I am not sure, either DPAPI.DLL or gdi32full.dll. Wine often is missing libraries or implements its own versions which can have limited functionality. In this case I would probably use winetricks and try to see if they are installed and if not, install via winetricks and try again.

Does this game launch at all just using wine(not lutris just wine)? wine I believe is capable of running .bat files so I suspect if you try to run using just wine you might see some errors explaining whats happening.

I imagine these were the same people complaining about their favorite subreddits being closed. Completely clueless over what was happening right in front of them.
