General tips:

For playing Flash games: , also in Extension (FF) format.

For general gaming (for example; I couldn't run Roxanne normally with wine, but I do with): / (I used the Flatpak)

Use (If your distribution came with some kind of app store, just search for "bottles" in the utilities section). Create a gaming bottle named "JPN", click it, go to settings>compatibility and change the language to japanese. Put the games in ~/.var/app/com.usebottles.bottles/data/bottles/bottles/JPN/drive_c/ and use the option "Run Executable". Most of nw.js games will also run fine with this method, but you can move the game files to a and run just like any other linux app.
So this works, except for the fact that the game did not give sound what so ever

Well, the game you mentioned earlier worked fine in my tests, both using bottles and native nwjs. Some posts in the game's thread suggest that the translation might cause the audio to stop working. If it's a different game, send me the link so I can try to check it out.

No it was two different ones (rpgmaker and a unity), they both don't have complete threads and understandable if you don't wanna risk the danger with them.

So i tried the bottle method with "Colorlust Oni" and then it also dosen't have audio but when did the native nwjs. method it had audio, so most likely something on my end maybe some setting with bottles where it doesn't have permission to use my head phones (who are connected to my ps4 controller) maybe ?

So i downloaded heroic launcher from the (mint) application site and failing running a game that i got from the seven seas and deleting both heroic as well the game, my bottles no longer starts games that previously worked before hand.

And no my pc still works just fine otherwise and i don't see immediate signs of a virus.

My first thought is that perhaps by deleting heroic launcher it also deleted some wine components

sounds like your wine prefix (or bottle) is borked, just rm -rf your previous prefix and re-create.

More details would be needed to pinpoint the source of this problem, such as logs or error messages when trying to run it from the terminal, but Bottles and Heroic do not share any configuration, runner, or prefix when installed at the same time.

i haven't tried running it from the terminal itself ( and no idea what the command for that is)

flatpak run com.usebottles.bottles &> ~/bottles_log.txt

The log file will be saved in your home folder. Try running at least a few games and then close Bottles normally.

The ~ symbol represents the current user's home directory, so when using ~/bottles_log.txt you are specifying the filename and location where it should be saved.

&> is an operator that redirects stdout (standard output) and stderr (standard error) simultaneously to some destination.

As long as your username and the bottle name doesn't contain any information you don't want to expose, just attach the complete file here.
