Bottles was having the same issue. I was attempting to install SimTower off the CD copy I have and they all were having issues running. I believe it’s a permissions issue that I could figure out, but not sure. After spending hours i went down the distro route and it worked perfectly the first time. Was able to run the installation for the game and launch it from wine.
Since it’s not active, it looks to just be geo based as changing my VPN location makes it work… This was my first time visiting the website and it was showing someone opening an egg he boiled for 2 hours… 💀
