Help with getting the latest version of wine

Hello,

Requirements:

I have Searched the forum for my issue and found nothing related or helpful
I have checked the Resources category (Resources Index)
I have reviewed the Wiki for relevant information
I have read the Release Notes and Errata

OpenMandriva Lx version:
OpenMandriva Lx 26.02 (ROME) Rolling x86_64

Desktop environment (KDE, LXQT…):
KDE ( I think? Didn’t see desktop environment when using the “neofetch” command.)

Description of the issue (screenshots if relevant):
I’m trying to use Wine for playing a game made on RPG Maker, and I can’t use EasyRPG as this game requires a more advanced version. And I can’t use Wine either, which I suspect is because the set applications to download have Wine only at version 10.19. How do I download Wine at the latest version?

Should I get a direct download from the website and run an installer command to get the latest version of Wine? The instructions I’ve looked up have been hard to parse properly.

Relevant informations (hardware involved, software version, logs or output…):

Hi @CuriousWatcher !

I don’t know if it will work but try proton instead of wine

How did you install RPG Maker? From what I am reading, you should be able to install Steam and through Steam, install RPG Maker and it just runs.

You can get the latest version of WINE from flathub:

…by installing it with FlatDrake.

I used flathub. However, the system still lists my wine version as 10.19, experimental.

The game I’m looking to play requires RPG Maker MV, which can’t be run on easyrpg, and based on my research, the rpg maker extension on Steam doesn’t let you play games, at least this game.

When you launch the app, what does it say when you look at the “about” section?

I see the version on Flathub shows as unverified. That means someone else built the flatpak and not Wine. That leaves the latest version as the one you download from Wine, but you can file a Package Update Request and get the devs to do a fresh build of it. That is normally a quick and painless thing.:joy:

If Wine is the app you’re referring to, I’m never launching it directly or as an independent item. The version is when I go to terminal and type “dnf info wine”.

Just made an account to deliver the exact answer you’ve been looking for.

For all your RPG Maker VX/VX Ace/MV/MZ needs, you want a program called rpgmakermlinux-cicpoffs (GitHub - bakustarver/rpgmakermlinux-cicpoffs: Run any RPG Maker XP, VX, VX Ace, MV, MZ, TyranoBuilder, Godot, Construct 2/3, Nscripter game on linux natively · GitHub).

Install it with this one command:

wget -qO- "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bakustarver/rpgmakermlinux-cicpoffs/main/installgithub.sh" | bash

Run your game with this command:

rpgmaker-linux /path/to/game/Game.exe

For Steam games: Right click your game on Steam → Properties → Compatibility → Check “Force use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool” → Select “RPG Maker MV/MZ (cicpoffs mount) Tool” → Play

Alt+Enter enters fullscreen (on VX/VX Ace). Enjoy!

EDIT: Added the link to their Github. Also, Alt+Enter for fullscreen only works on VX/VX Ace games (oops!).

@UnityMember Welcome! I changed your level so you can put that link in.

Would you mind sharing the game link? I could try to run it using a launcher like rpgmakermlinux-cicpoffs

I believe that that command will only show you the version that was installed via dnf, but I’m not entirely sure. I installed WINE on ROCK using OMLWelcome, and got version 10.4, which matches the “about” section and “dnf info wine.”

Oddly enough, dnfdrake doesn’t show the program as installed, but it’s been working fine.

This method worked and the game loaded. Thank you very much for your help, I hope I can better learn from this and maybe one day contribute to the community as much as it has helped me.

For closure’s sake, because I want to respect you giving my answer attention, (As UnityMember gave me a succinct answer through link to a certain github page), the game in question is Super Danganronpa Another 2, a fangame of Danganronpa made by Linuj. As the game was made ledgible for English speakers by fan patches, the link I used for download is from a google drive, so I will only link in a way you’re comfortable.

@CuriousWatcher I’m glad it worked! No problem, I was just trying to help. :slight_smile:
