I wanted to play NFS:World, but it isn’t loading. I tried SoapBox app and russian World Evolved client, but it just crashes. Is there any guide for running NFS World? Somewhere I saw that Wine 9.9 is required, I couldn’t find wine 9.9, so tried Proton 9.9 using Bottles, but no any luck.

    The NFS games are problematic in general on Wine. Check ProtonDB if you’re unsure.

    You’d be better off running it on a different system emulator where it’s all encapsulated in an image to run from.

      Check ProtonDB if you’re unsure.

      NFS World was released only in Origin (now EA Play), and that’s why there is no page for this game on ProtonDB

      running it on a different system emulator

      This game was released only for Windows, so the only way is Wine or virtual machine. I want to try whatever I can with wine first

    Did you try replicating stuff on the WineHQ AppDB from people who have gotten it running?

    E.g.:

    https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=20659

    With a fresh Wine prefix, do:

    winetricks d3dx9 dotnet20 ie7 glsl-enable gdiplus

    Then install the game as normal. Nothing else should be required. Feel free to experiment, but if something breaks, be sure to try this before asking for help.
