I am trying to install Zoo Tycoon 2 Ultimate Collection using files I had backed up from installing it on Windows after buying an install exe from Amazon (apparently they still sell those). The game worked and ran fine on Windows.
When I try to install the game via Lutris, it asks me to point to “Files/x300_000.z2f”. I am able to find this archive file in my game backup folder, but Lutris refuses to acknowledge or use it; Any time I select the directory where the .z2f file is located, Lutris returns an error saying “The required file ‘Files/x300_000.z2f’ could not be located”. The fact that it’s asking for a file with a “/” in its name might be what’s causing an error; you can’t have that character in a file name. If it’s asking for a folder location, why won’t it accept the ones that I select that contain that archive file it’s requesting?
Other than that, I can literally see the requested file sitting in a backup folder but Lutris refuses to use it for installation. Does anyone know how to get this to work?
