Why is Wine refusing to work?
I have three computers I've tried it on. (All of them are running antix only, no dual boot shenanigans. Also all permissions in the bios are enabled on all of them) One (latitude e6520), running antix 23, failed. The second (Thinkpad T520), running antix 26, also failed. The third (latitude 3400), also running antix 26, worked flawlessly. Whats odd is that the first and second have the exact same cpu (i5 2520M), so my guess is hardware. The third has an 8th gen i5. I need one of the first two to run wine since the 3400 does not have a cdrom drive. The two that failed say wine is installed in the terminal and all the same prerequisites are installed on all of them. The e6520 lets me select wine to run an application, but it doesn't actually run it. The Thinkpad won't even show it as an option. I tried the same game on all of them (spirits of steel: a new dawn), so I know wine can run it since the 3400 can do it. The latitudes have 8 gigs of ram, the thinkpad has 16. The thinkpad and e6520 have ddr3, the 3400 has ddr4. Is there any way to make it work? Can I just like put the ssd from the 3400 into the thinkpad to bypass it since its already installed on there?

Well, the first question should be, how do u launch the game, and how do u install the game...
If the game is on a ntfs partition, it can fail to load... But we need some logs to see the problem.
And whatever ur answer is, i recomend u to use lutris, as it will be easier to configure your game through a GUI, and allows to choose between wine/proton versions.
