Hello!
I am running a dual-boot PC with Windows and Linux MX. I have installed Skyrim from gog-files on Windows. I recently learned about Lutris, and I was happy to be able to play games without to be forced to use Windows.
First I tried to run Skyrim via WINE from the Windows installation. It started a new game, seemed to run normal - with every sounds but the voices. This wasn’t satisfying.
the skyrim folder on the Windows partition has 27 GB, free space more than 40 GB. So I tried to install Skyrim via Lutris on this partition, but Lutris said the game will not work on a Windows-formatted partition. So I freed 60 GB on a Linux partition and started the installation via Lutris using my gog account. Lutris wants or better say needs to download the 24 GB Skyrim-Installation flies. This would take 6-7 hours, and Lutris does not ask where to store this downloads, it uses automatically the home partition, on which I only can provide 10 GB free space.
So I am looking for a method to make Lutris use this already downloaded installation files. Is it possible, or has someone to modify Lutris to let there be a choice between installing via download or existing files?
Thanks for any help
What Edition of Skyrim?
Legendary edition, special edition, anniversary edition? Is there yet another edition I missed to add?
All editions have their quirks. Sound in tesV is notoriously low, there are numerous fixes possible. I’ve the legendary version and the sound is really good for me. Although I should add a fix at some point for a better experience.
Anyway, run the scripts provided by Lutris to install Skyrim, just click the plus button to “add a new game”, type your game name, chose the right package and Lutris will download the wrapper for you.
Later you need to move your Skyrim folder in the right location inside the steam dir tree.
Ops. This request is a year old, 
I appreciate the answer despite the long time ago. It’s the The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition with Skyrim Anniversary Upgrade from GOG.
The problem seems to be solved, Lutris seems to accept local installation files, BUT: No voices, only background sounds and music and text. The game runs very slow (e.g. 2-3 fps), not at all with the speed on Windows on the same machine.
I run the same version with stock wine-ge-8-26 runner and no issues.
Standard things:
- Disable esync & fsync
- Try Proton (and PROTON_NO_ESYNC PROTON_NO_FSYNC variables set to 1 to disable above)
- Be running a Linux 6.x kernel
Post some of your logs! We’ve got no idea what you’re running 
You’re welcome!
In case you run vanilla Skyrim, try to install patches from the nexus to fix errors. (All games of Beth are buggy)
Since you’ve a different version than mine I can’t tell you what to download.
