The game is Juiced (2005)

I’m normally pretty good at getting old janky PC ports running but this ones stumped me after multiple attempts.

Tried running through Lutris, Bottles, Heroic and base system Wine. using many old and new versions of wine/proton.

DXVK, D3D, Different directx dependancies through winetricks and even tracking down an old Directx9c Windows installer and installing that in the prefix but even that didn’t help.

FIX here: I needed to install dxdiag through winetricks, which revealed a memory error that was fixed by downloading the 1.01 patch from here. I also switched to Wine-GE 8.26, using Proton the game would crash after the first loading screen.

I’m still working out how to get my controller fully working but that’s apparently an issue even on Windows sooo

    Sorry, I know that this isn’t a helpful post, but I love how that screenshot looks like it’s straight out of 2010.

      Lmao thanks. My desktop’s kinda a frankensteined mess of Windows 7 and other stuff.

      If you hate flat themes you kinda end up stuck in 2010. Maybe one day I’ll learn how to make my own theme and escape it.
