That was not for Arch Linux. In the Arch Linux test, it can be launched, along with several other tests. And the way I see it, chances should've improved to launch the game in the last year or so.
Hey there, I just installed Steam with Wine on my Arch Linux. I decided I would try to get DayZ working. It installed fine, but when attempting the first launch, it starts to install the "Microsoft VC Redist Package (step 1 of 4)" and I get a wine pop-up message saying: The program Setup.exe has encountered a serious problem and needs to close. We are for the inconvenience.This can be caused by a problem in the program or a deficiency in Wine. You may want to check the [u]Application Database[/u] for tips about running this application. If I click cancel on each of the four steps I get a command prompt window with the title "E:\SteamLIbrary\steamapps\common\DayZ_BE.exe" with just a flashing underscore in it. Any ideas how to get the game launched? It should work: https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=29534&iTestingId=82084&bShowAll=true Thanks
