@helenslunch @umbrella A lot of Windows games need vc runtime or other libraries installed on the system.

Steam users got this managed from the installer (also in linux) but if you install it manually from the game installer chances are that the installer may not manage their dependences.

On linux world you can get a lot of oresets using lutris btw

Yes I understand all of that. My point is, once again, this is additional configuration I never had to figure out with Windows.
