I need to open this file right? but it says: 002c:err:winediag:getaddrinfo Failed to resolve your host name IP 0024:fixme:ntdll:NtQuerySystemInformation info_class SYSTEM_PERFORMANCE_INFORMATION
I am using Artix Runit with intel. normally I would say btw but it feels wrong when talking about distros lol. Anyways from what I read the first one is fine apparently and the second one is not. The second one there was something of someone trying to install osu! or something. It didn’t say how it got fixed, another person i finally found the solution and said:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=260142
i finally found the solution big_smile you need to add :
export PATH=/opt/wine-osu/bin:$PATH
(or whatever path you chose when installing wine) before starting the game !
idk what that means. Also the post was on arch forums and like also said something about intel which is idk.
I also found this: https://forum.manjaro.org/t/i-cant-install-the-physx-program-with-wine/164410/2 (it didn’t work)
Anyways I was trying to run itchio amongus in here. So it sends me to itchio and it wants to open a link for among us to login in the game. I have the following .desktop file for that:
[Desktop Entry] Name=AmongUsHelper Exec=env wine /home/epik/Games/AmongUs/AmongUsItch/Itch/‘Among Us_Data’/Resources/AmongUsHelper.exe Type=Application StartupNotify=true Comment=AmongUsItchio helper Path=/home/epik/Games/AmongUs/AmongUsItch/Itch Icon=ACA4_Polytoria.0 StartupWMClass=‘AmongUsHelper.exe’ MimeType=x-scheme-handler/amongus;
It seems to be fine but the file doesn’t open, like I mean if I open it directly.
yea lemmy messes with the paragraphs. I already deleted and remade the wineprefix btw. And reinstalled the game.
It is interesting that the other posts

using wine-staging just tells me stuff the init of course., I intalled more optional dependencies and that did nothing.
I have vague memories of the program running but at this point it might be a creation of my imagination.
yea idk I will try more stuff eventually imma just do other stuff for now. If I fix it I will say it here and yea I will also run it on another machine eventually and see if that works.
Anyways if anyone can help thanks and yea.


I don’t want it to run a .desktop file. A .desktop file is just like a shortcut, you would probably run the game through lutris with a .desktop file and not the .desktop file through lutris.
My problem was that AmongUs uses a file called AmongUsHelper.exe to log in. Once it opens itch.io in your browser and you allow it, it asks you to open an “amongus” link, In windows it does it with “AmongUsHelper” that’s why I am guessing it uses AmongUsHelper.exe. ‘Among us.exe’ works fine.
The problem with running lutris through .desktop files when you need the browser tho is that the app just opens normally instead of like it holding any info from the website or something and idk how to make it do that.
I downloaded the itch.io version and ran it with wine tkg normally (
wine Among\ Us.exe), it asked me to login to itch.io. You can make a .sh file to launch it and add it as a linux game to lutris, if this is what solves this.Yea it asks you. after you authorize it to access itchio it asks you this:
But since AmongUsHelper does not work you can’t log in, Among Us itself runs fine. but thanks that might be useful in other apps maybe.
