I have been using this application for years. I convert some games since 10 years from Wine version to wine Version and most of work i had to get it run again is because of wine does nothing to support me.
It is not just about being able to use it.
I also used PlayOnLinux and other bottle software and after they died, I had again a lot of work to convert it to other helper software.
They are not compatibility. And really I do not wish to need them.
Do you mean you were writing installers for different frontends?
I don't think Bottles will vanish. Yes, there are some problems. The main programmer is doing something else. Running stuff from the console doesn't work. But I think it's too good to die.
In my honest opinion, I think Wine developers don't want to build a global database on how a given game should be installed and have it done automatically. Wine is like a kernel—they don't want to touch "user space." They want to create an engine that works exactly like Windows, and no workarounds would be needed.
I think the best way to add workarounds is the WineHQ AppDB.
@StillDepressedMan No im not able to develop Aplication.
I'm a user.
So the best way you can help is by reporting bugs to the Bugzilla and adding test reports with workarounds to the AppDB. I understand your anger, but the development of such a complex tool takes time, sometimes requires a few steps back, and may involve breaking backward compatibility. There is still a long road ahead, so grit your teeth and hang in there.
Edit: and don’t forget to toss a coin to your developer the unsung hero who braves endless bugs, slays the monstrous legacy code, and keeps the realm of software safe from chaos.
