The latter halts when it tries to run Wine.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Confirm via the Software Manager that Wine is installed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Open Lutris\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Here you will be tempted to use Lutris&#8217; config\/installer for the game. Don&#8217;t do that. It&#8217;ll install, and even launch the game, but the installer hangs before completing, so it never adds the game to the list.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Download the game installer from <a href=\"https:\/\/mystonline.com\/\">Myst Online&#8217;s site<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click on the + button in Lutris to add a game.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Select &#8220;Install a Windows game from media&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enter the game&#8217;s name and click Continue<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click Install<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make with the clicky on the options you want, then click Install<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click the Browse button and navigate to the installation file that you downloaded.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click Continue<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You will now be kicked into the Windows installer for Myst Online: URU Live. Do the same things you&#8217;d do in Windows.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When the installation finishes, it will ask you if you want to launch the game. Tell it the same thing you tell those phone calls asking about your car&#8217;s extended warranty. Just say no.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The installation should complete, and you should now have the game listed in Lutris.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Launch the game from Lutris. It will go through all of the updating that is normal during a first launch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enjoy the 20-year-old MMO!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve now installed Myst Online: URU Live on a couple of machines running Linux Mint 21.1.
