[SOLVED] Error while installing EA app on linux mint 21.2 Cinnamon

Support
1

I’m trying to install EA app in Lutris on Linux Mint 21.2 cinnamon.
Everything goes fine, well nearly everything, couldn’t install georgi32.exe core font, the website https://mirrors.kernel.org/gentoo/distfiles/ is offline, so i had to manually download it and after all everything went fine until it reached to to install EA app itself.
I click on install app when the EA app window pop-up and nearly at the end of the installation it throws an error:

EDIT:
I’ve updated Lutris to latest 0.5.13, but pretty much the same error:

SOLVED!
I’ve updated wine to the latest stable version 8.0.2 and then choose that version inside Lutris, and the installation went fine.

also one questions…during the installation it gave me bunch of warnings like:
“warning: You are running winetricks-20220411-next, latest upstream is winetricks-20230212!”, but I have the latest winetricks

also:
“warning: You are using a 64-bit WINEPREFIX. Note that many verbs only install 32-bit versions of packages. If you encounter problems, please retest in a clean 32-bit WINEPREFIX before reporting a bug.”

Is it safe to ignore those warnings?

@Maxcw , yes, those last error messages should be safe to ignore. You get them all the time.
