Do they have to be installed in the default .wine folder and c:? I’d prefer to install big games using wine on another drive if possible as space is linited on my home drive.

Edit: Solved. All good to install anywhere, thanks!

    Yeah I wasn’t sure if it was necessary. I use a few Windows vst apps with yabridge, but I suppose those need to get installed in specific places so the apps know where to look. Seems like for games I can just change the install directory to my other drive and run from there. Thanks for the write up, I was actually planning to launch using Heroic, just wasn’t sure if games through Wine needed the C:\ drive prefix.

      It creates a virtual C:\ drive for the programs in the bottle. Externally it doesn’t matter where it is as long as your launch script/application knows where it is.
