Installation of Nvidia drivers (for NVIDIA-Card-owners)<\/h3>\n
It is important, that you use the mostly latest NVIDIA-Driver. At the time writing this, this was:<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.pc-howto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/nvidiadrv.png\")
<\/p>\n
Installation of the necessary kernel headers and compiler tools<\/h3>\n\n- apt-get install linux-headers – $ (uname -r)<\/li>\n
- apt-get install build essential<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Download the appropriate driver from www.nvidia.com. Then use the console to switch to the directory in which you downloaded the driver and make it executable:<\/p>\n
\n- chmod + x NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-470.74.run<\/li>\n
- Note: The driver name can vary!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Note:<\/strong> If you have a different graphics card, you must of course install the appropriate driver for you!<\/p>\nReboot (without GUI) and start NVIDIA driver installation<\/h3>\n\n- systemctl set-default multi-user.target<\/li>\n
- reboot<\/li>\n
- Change to the directory in which the download is located<\/li>\n
- Call .\/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-470.74.run (Attention: Driver name can vary!)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The installation process now starts in the console. Please install the 32-bit libraries in any case (answer the query with “YES”). Overwrite existing files with the files of the installer and also start nvidia-xconfig.<\/p>\n
Reboot into the GUI<\/h3>\n\n- systemctl set-default graphical.target<\/li>\n
- reboot<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Lutris and Wine<\/h2>\n
It is important to include additional package sources. These are:<\/p>\n
Wine\u00a0 (\/etc\/apt\/sources.list.d\/wine.list)<\/h3>\n\n- deb https:\/\/dl.winehq.org\/wine-builds\/debian\/ bookworm main<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Apart from that, the architecture i386 has to be activated:<\/p>\n
\n- dpkg -add-architecture i386<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
And import the winehq key (apt):<\/p>\n
\n- wget -nc https:\/\/dl.winehq.org\/wine-builds\/winehq.key
\napt-key add winehq.key<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nFinally, wine has to be installed<\/p>\n
I am going for the most current release possible and therefore install “wine-staging”.<\/p>\n
\n- apt-get update<\/li>\n
- apt-get install wine-staging<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Lutris (\/etc\/apt\/sources.list.d\/lutris.list)<\/h3>\n
Additional package sources must also be added for Lutris:<\/p>\n
\n- deb http:\/\/download.opensuse.org\/repositories\/home:\/strycore\/Debian_11\/ .\/<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Import key (apt)<\/p>\n
\n- wget -q https:\/\/download.opensuse.org\/repositories\/home:\/strycore\/Debian_11\/Release.key -O-
\napt-key add –<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nNow we are installing lutris<\/p>\n
\n- apt-get update<\/li>\n
- apt-get install lutris<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

I already had World of Tanks installed on Windows. My first thought was to copy the WoT directory onto my “Linux disk” in the directory structure of Wine. Then “install” the Wargaming Game Center in Lutris and after starting the Wargaming Game Center simply specify the directory in which WoT is located (import game). However, this project turned out to be problematic because an error message appeared when trying to import the game into the WGGC. Basically this was: “The specified file is not a directory” – although I had selected a directory.<\/p>\n
Note:<\/strong> The Lutris Games (Wine) are usually located in the home directory of the logged in user. The directory itself is hidden.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.pc-howto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/wine_c.png\")
<\/p>\n
Just to illustrate: I tried to copy WOT into the directory \/home\/gestl\/.wine\/drive_c\/wot and then integrate it (without downloading) into the game center. Unfortunately, as mentioned, this did NOT work.<\/p>\n
The solution<\/h3>\n
First download the World of Tanks installer (Gamecenter): https:\/\/eu.wargaming.net\/de\/games\/wot<\/p>\n
Then just start Lutris and add the downloaded file “manually” using the plus symbol (top left), choosing Wine as the starter.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.pc-howto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/lutris_wot_installer.png\")
<\/p>\n
Below you can see that I’m adding the installer (which I downloaded) via Lutris:<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.pc-howto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/lutris_wgc_api.png\")
<\/p>\n
Then save, run the installer via Lutris and click on “INSTALL”.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.pc-howto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/wot_installer_start.png\")
<\/p>\n
WoT is usually installed in the directory: \/ home \/ <user> \/.wine\/drive_c\/Games\/World_of_Tanks_EU.<\/p>\n
If you have already downloaded WoT under Windows<\/h2>\n
If you have already installed WoT on a Windows disk, you can shorten the download under Linux. Let the game center start the download of WoT and run it briefly so that the corresponding directories are created. Then you cancel the download and copy the contents of the WoT directory from Windows into the folder in which “Linux-WoT” is located. You just overwrite existing files.<\/p>\n
Add World of Tanks Starter to Lutris<\/h2>\n
The WoT launcher can also be added manually to Lutris after downloading (or copying). The file is called: \/home\/user\/.wine\/drive_c\/Games\/World_of_Tanks_EU\/wgc_api.exe.<\/p>\n
Then your lutris should look like this. In my case the wgc_api.exe is hidden in the “Button” World of Tanks GC:<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.pc-howto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/lutris_center.png\")
<\/p>\n
The start of WoT<\/h2>\n
If everything went well, the game center should now start, your login into the same should be successful and WoT should start.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Additional Information – Gamecenter interferes start of WoT<\/h2>\n
Since some updates of WoT, you may notice, that the game itself runs into a blackscreen when starting it via the WoT – Gamecenter. If so, use Lutris and add the executable of WoT directly bypassing the Gamecenter. Just use the Gamecenter if you get informed, that you need to update WoT. I also noticed, that WoT is not starting (even if you use the WoT executable) if the Gamecenter runs in the background. So make sure the Gamecenter is closed, before you go for a WoT-session!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
