I managed to, through Lutris, with an old cracked version. Although I had to use winetricks to install a bunch of extensions.
Is there a website that lists extensions you might need to install in winetricks for any given game?
I feel it would help a lot to have a source like that at hand…
protondb.com is probably the closest you’ll get
I did, years ago, it worked perfectly. This was when DX9 was an option for it though, but given since then dxvk / etc. came out the DX11 renderer should not be an issue. In fact I’d be surprised if the game didn’t run as-is without any tweaks.
I suggest using the gog version. appdb suggests installing vcrun2010 might be needed but again, test beforehand.
I had no problems at all as recently as this year. I think I was playing over the summer
But the GoG version? It’s rated Platinum in winehq…
