0. requirements: wine, winetricks, idk i have a bunch of stuff installed

- if you find your game not working, and find a dependency just dm me and ill add it here

- im working with a clean 32bit wineprefix, you can use your existing one
1. install the exe-only build

2. in winetricks:
- 1. select your prefix

- 2. click "Install a Windows DLL or component"

- 3. select `dxvk` (start typing to search)

- 4. click `OK`

- 5. if there are any warnings poping up, just click "OK", list of warnings i got:

 - Please refer to dxvk version 2.3 release notes...

 - Please refer to current dxvk base graphics driver requirements...

- 6. close winetricks

3. run the game `wine "I Wanna Lockpick.exe"` (with default prefix)

4. (if you made a new prefix) run with `WINEPREFIX=(path) wine "I Wanna Lockpick.exe"`, winetrick makes prefixes in `$XDG_DATA_HOME/wine` (aka. `$HOME/.local/share/wine`, just search in that

These exact steps wouldn't work on macOS because macOS doesn't have Vulkan drivers.


You instead can try to use dxvk-mac, which inserts MoltenVK into the mix. Having 2 compatibility layers is provably not good for performance.


Or if you have an ARM mac, you can try to use GPTK,  but i don't know if it works for DX11 or if it's only DX12.

using this tutorial, you can probably make it run on mobile, using proot with a server linux distro (android = linux), and do the same steps

now the problem is, it uses wine, so if anyone manages to get i wanna lockpick on an android phone (possible i guess) id be very surprised

well nice tutorial tho

If this isn't working, here is what I did. Download this installer from Microsoft https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8109 and run it with wine. It will exact files to a folder (You can pick the Z:\ drive to pick a folder on your local Linux machine). Then, after it extracts, you can run the installer with wine called DXSETUP. Then running the exe will work.
