Now, with the help of the devs at wine-staging, we have WineBuilds with the patchset from wine-staging, which happen to contain the CSMT patch (for now when patches from wine-staging get mainlined, they are dropped from the -staging versions of Wine, as they are now a default feature.). Up until recently (2015 ?), you would have needed to request a patched WineBuild. As always, for manual installs, feel free to post up for help in the appropriate section of the forums. If it does not work, you should check to see if there is already an installer for that game in our repository, and if not, you will need to check the AppDB at WineHQ for your game to see if it needs any extra components or settings. This is a manual install, and does not guarantee that the game that you install through Steam will work. This will create a shortcut in the main POL window. On the General Tab of the Configuration Window, select Make a new shortcut from this virtual drive, and select the Steam executable when shown in the list.Steam will be installed into the Virtual Drive highlighted on the left side. In the Configuration Window, select your new Virtual Drive, open the Install Components tab, and double-click Steam in that list.Open the Configuration Window, click New, and create a new Virtual Drive, naming it what you want, and selecting the WineBuild that you want to use when prompted.Open PlayOnLinux, download and install the WineBuild that you want from Manage Wine Versions.If you want to only install Steam for Windows into a Virtual Drive, you will need to do a manual installation. Either it cannot be made to work, or emulated Windows version must be changed to some version that does not implement privileges (Win9x for instance) so that the installer changes its expectations. Wine does not implement privileges, so such message does not make any sense under Wine. The application I am trying to install needs administrator rights to function correctly PlayOnLinux/PlayOnMac keeps all of it's resources, WineBuilds, and virtual drives contained in one folder, and will never interfere with your other WINEPREFIX created by vanilla Wine and winetricks (unless, of course, you start using winetricks for POL virtual drives or try to use vanilla Wine on a POL virtual drive, or something like that.). Will PlayOnLinux interfere with my current Wine or winetricks installations? Without getting too technical, POL will need it, so it is best to install it. POL will want to see it, and will use it's dependencies concurrently with POL's WineBuilds. You will want to have a 32-bit version of Wine installed on your system, along with the dependencies it suggests. This also applies to support regarding pirated software and cracks.ĭo I have to install Wine to use PlayOnLinux? ![]() POL/POM does not provide any sort of pirated software in any way. You actually have to own, say, Photoshop CS6, in order to install Photoshop CS6. It provides the means to install those applications. PlayOnLinux/PlayOnMac does not actually provide the applications. Why isn't PlayOnLinux downloading Photoshop (or whatever retail application) for me?
