[HELP] Running Spellforce 2 Shadow Wars (self.linux_gaming)

I'm attempting to run Spellforce 2, Shadow Wars from the CD's, but running into some issues.

It installed nicely enough using lutris and wine. When I attempt to run the game, however, I get the following in t the log:

wine: RLIMIT_NICE is <=20, unable to use setpriorty safely
Initial process has exited (return code: 0)
All processes have quit

Not sure where to go from here. I notice it's available as part of a package of other Spellforce games from Steam, though not quite sure how they're pulling it off.

Any pointer is useful.

Thanks in advance.

You can check if there is any dependency in the lutris version that you may have to install too.

You also can run your program using a verboser method since the returned code 0 means the program had run successfully so it's tricky https://wiki.winehq.org/Debug_Channels

Thanks! Increasing verbosity should be useful.

I'll post back when i try that.
