Right. we have byond 516 finally.
has anyone gotten it running in wine yet?
Cant seem to get webview2 to install on WINE anymore, but I had been able to open it with bottles which has webview2 installation capabilities...problem is, I see a blackscreen after byond loads up where you login at. I did play a game via dmb file, and it played it fine.
In BYOND discord, I have found Scriptis, the genius that figured this all out. First, you will need to remove your current winedirectory.

Then follow these steps:

use nix to get winewow64 on wine 9.2 or later (nix-shell -p wineWowPackages.staging) (or get an equivalent winewow64 build for your system, nix is just lazier)
create a new wineprefix
set the wineprefix to windows 7 compatibility mode (winecfg /v win7)
winetricks dxvk dxtrans vcrun2022 to install dxvk, configure transparency on directx, and install the visual c++ redistributable
use the x86 webview2 evergreen installer from https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/ webview2?form=MA13LH to install webview2 into the wineprefix
install byond
you now have byond with webview2 that can run in wine with some significant issues with tearing on the webview viewports (which nobody has figured out yet, work in progress)


I can make a much better tutorial but atm busy. But BYOND 516 does work on wine.
also I had to set it to windows 10, not windows 7 and install webview2, then switch it back to windows 7.
