  Heroic is singlehandedly the best tool I’ve had for getting seemingly any Windows game to work as needed. I don’t know what they do differently than Bottles or Lutris under the hood but good lord the “just works” aspects of it are glorious.

  Janky old DX8 title? Bam, now it runs in Vulkan with proper API extensions and directinlut wrappers. Got a weird, 16-bit Windows 3.1 title? Look at that, it works too. The only seeming exceptions are where there legitimately just isn’t support yet via Proton or DXVK and that’s an ever narrowing gap

    Are you saying it will run Mordor: The Depths of Dejenol?

      It very well might.

      Also TIL the original developer still sells boxed copies of this thing. That’s crazy. It also seems like they’ve updated fhe binaries for 32-bit systems so it should run under modern Windows.

        It was probably abandonware for some time. Hopefully will find an archive on some of hard drives

    I have issues with old DOSBox games. Has anyone ever gotten Star Wars Rebel Assault 1 or 2 running?
