    Some #tips when #installing Open Rails on #Linux using #WINE:

    1. use the 32bit versions of WINE and Open Rails as you need to apply some winetricks which may not be available for 64bit WINE (I will test 64bit installation seperately)

    2. after installing OpenRails in WINE run the #winetricks script for the WINE prefix you have just installed Open Rails into

    3. from wineticks install the following DLLs:

    a) .NET 4.7.2 - this will take some time as you will iterate through versions 4, 4.5, 4.6, 4.6.1, 4.6.2 and finally 4.7.2

    b) DXVK - this requires 32bit #Vulkan libararies for your video card (e.g. AMD) installed in your native Linux install. DXVK will fix issues with shading and textures (e.g when they are black in the distance but normal when coming closer)

    c) XNA 3.1 - this will install .NET 2.1 as a dependency, don't worry.

    4. The built-in content downloader (and network support in general) doesn't work too well with WINE, grab the free Content off the official Open Rails website.

    The #famous 46% #freeze in the #GUI #installer of #NixOS. If u open the #cli view there ull see that #nix actually builds stuffs for u from 46% , since #calamares isn't designed to know those, it might look like it freezes at 46% but it's actually #installing.

    Sharing this incase u are wondering about that #behaviour.
