Feature request: please consider adding a per game switch to force Windows version

Open ell1e opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

I have found that many linux versions actually don't work, since sometimes they depend on extremely outdated system libraries and weren't packaged in a properly forward compatible way, and can't be run on any modern Linux anymore. One affected game seems to be the Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition, for example. In such cases, it would be nice if minigalaxy had a per-game setting to force to download, install, and run the Windows version instead, even if a native Linux exists.

(Sorry if this setting already exists and I just didn't find it!)

There has been some work put into this, but the PR for it has conflicts and won't work with the current code. It hasn't been updated since. Maybe someone else would like to pick this up.
