Including a bug fix? By a knowledgeable person? That probably translates into an hour for me, if my googling gets lucky, or complete frustration more likely. Damnit, I was hoping I could move to Linux, I've used it before, even had it dual-booting with Windows a couple of times, but I never got comfortable with it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] menemen@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (1 child) I just downloaded the .deb and installed it without having to change anything.

Apparently I bought the game so long ago that it failed to unify my accounts correctly so the separate “enter your password” screen just failed to load? I had to reset my account and open an entire new outlook.com email address just to link my purchase to the account I already have. Fuck those losers who succeeded only in making the game worse to encourage platform lock in so they can replace Java with Bedrock. permalink fedilink source parent [–] MonkderDritte@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) Make it comfortable? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Melatonin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) I'm not trying to be antagonistic.

I don't like having to "make things work." I had difficulty getting Radar, Sonarr, Docker, and Overseerr to run in Windows. It's still not configured right.
