Best way to install games from an exe?

I've tried going through lutris, it crashes without errors. I've tried running the exe and it says "proton isntallation could not be found". Need to know which avenue to pursue first

I use Bottles to install .exe games then use the add manually installed game with Lutris However I would like to see how others do it through lutris

Sometimes I just add the exe as a non-Steam game then add a compatibility layer like proton ge and run the exe from steam.

i tried this but the game hangs after the loading screen. not sure if i did it wrong or if its a game thing. i would load up windows and check but i cant get into my windows boot anymore because of some obscure arcane bs

did you find a way? i simply install through lutris, then take the folder of ONLY the game itself and paste it into \home\games\ and then manually adding the installed game .exe again in lutris just works
