I said it in another topic but I'll say it here too: use 64-bit win7. Newer games(say within the past 5 years from my experience) don't and won't work. They'll install but at least on mac don't open, give no error message or anything. Which honestly seems to be my experience with photon(steam play) as well when I was trying to run stuff in a vm on the mac so I guess this is a common thing(bar the fact you can actually browse the store in photon....but that doesn't solve the fact of gog galaxy not being on there, and the snap that is there doesn't really work too well in my experience...at least for games working from what i saw).

(I think I'm just cursed with bad luck when it comes to wine and getting games to work that I want to play, beyond older games that are known to work anyways)

There is a workaround mentioned in Crossover steam forum and it works...But I now also downloaded steam client that can play linux games and that works too. Only my elo is bugged now - permanently stuck on 1600 - and even if i go back to crossover steam its still bugged :/ but the game works like in crossover other than that and u can use native linux steam client that works better than the one on crossover.

Yeah...I was able to get it to work-sorta. I installed the crosstie on 17.1 into a 64-bit bottle then went and removed the keys they told it "hey this is xp"(would've been better if it was possible to just change that to 7). But yeah good luck buying any new games, or in my case just messing around on the store like I tend to do. It does however work to just install games. You just won't be running any modern games(these just don't work for me like planet coaster, endless legend, or anything I have from within the past 5-6 years of gaming). But things like RCT? Those work like a champ

Edit: note it has to be a 64-bit win 7 from what I can tell. I haven't tried doing a bottle with anything newer so good luck. If I had a working knowledge of windows and why you need what you need to get things working we'd be in business :-\
