Gaming with Wine

This post describes setting up wine for use on Arch Linux.

Setup

Install wine staging for much better performance.

Optionally install wine-mono and wine_gecko see wiki for info.

pacman -S wine-staging wine-mono wine_gecko

Wine file associations

To avoid having wine file associations unregister them.

To prevent them set environment variable WINEDLLOVERRIDES.

export WINEDLLOVERRIDES="winemenubuilder.exe=d"
