Can't install Sincity4(gog) on arch

I have tried two ways:
1:wine
          Not working,and the resolution is strange.
2:steam protom
          Working while lunching the game'installer,and you can actually launch the game by pressing the bottom "Launch the game" at the end of installation.However,if you want to launch the game by the exe profile,you would never succeed by any version of the proton.

And there are also many same questions at the Simcity4 community on steam.BUT no answers.
What should I do to launch my favorite game on arch bros sad

Did you try to use launch options as recommended here?

Re: Can't install Sincity4(gog) on arch

Thank you,It helps a lot.
But I still can't understand why the game can be played normally without any additional options after installing?(just like what I have said in the first blog,you can launch the game by the button at the end of installation for the first time to play).
Does anyone know why?

Re: Can't install Sincity4(gog) on arch

Likely because the installer sets up all kinds of stuff the game needs ?

Many windows applications only work correctly when started through their installer or installed desktop shortcuts .


Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky

In general I had very good results with Heroic Games Launcher from AUR (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/hero … uncher-bin) for GOG games. Everything seems to just work with a nice managing interface.
