I’ve found Bottles works better than Lutris almost always.

Both are honestly shit at this point. One is made by an insane idiot and the other has become vibe coded and is falling apart.

I don’t know about any of that. I’m happy to move to another solution when it presents itself. Bottles has been working fine for warez installs until then.

I never got it to work with any game in my case :(
