If you already have the entry for BYOND in lutris (failed installers have done this for me) in the same working directory, point “executable” to /byond/bin/byond.exe.
Thanks for your help! Got it installed finally with your instructions, much appreciated.
I’m having issues with playing on SS13 servers though, I’m not sure where the issue lies. I get the error message An error has been detected in how your client is receiving resources. Attempting to correct.... (If you keep seeing these messages you might want to close byond and reconnect). The “Join Game” pop-up is usually hidden behind the main game window, but even when you join game teh textures are all broken on every server I join (it was working when I installed BYOND last via Lutris about 2 months ago).
I submitted an updated installer script that should appear shortly. It uses the current wine, which doesn’t seem to be affected by (https://github.com/lutris/lutris/issues/2122) - therefore solving the “can’t find wine” bug, and removes all Winetricks dependencies but IE8. It seems to work fine on the above SS13 stations despite not installing the DirectX runtime, wsh, jscript, mfc, etc… I wasn’t even expecting that to work, honestly, but I guess fixes in Wine have made those redundant. Apparently Lummox/BYOND are working on migrating to CEF instead of IE so hopefully we can be rid of IE8 and it’s quirks too.
