Description

Something wrong with how wine, or the wine games are installed or launched, makes them not find very basic dlls. For example, this is what I get with UT2004:

However, if I don't run it via minigalaxy inside the flatpak sandbox, but instead use the system wine in the folder, the launcher shows up perfectly fine but can't find the CD key and registry info, obviously. And DirectX 8 should be part of wine, so it seems like some install or launch issue that somehow the game can't find it inside minigalaxy's flathub. It shouldn't require DXVK either.

Deus Ex Invisible War seems to have a similar issue inside minigalaxy's flatpak wine:

**Affected flatpak version:** the one that ships with minigalaxy 1.3.2
