Access desktop mode and install Lutris from the Discovery app
📥 Download the game and v2 update from here https://www.pessmokepatch.com/2023/09/spfl24.html
You need to download all the parts in the same folder, and then compact by opening the first file of the sequence.
Add a new game to Lutris with the [+] button at the top left, then choose Install from a local install script, and use the script below: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eskay993/gamefiles/refs/heads/main/sp-football-life-2024/scripts/sp-football-life-2024-win.yaml
Select the "Add to Steam" checkbox and proceed with the installation by advancing when required.
As resolution indicate 1280x800, or the maximum if you will (also) use an external monitor.
As gameplay there are several options, leave the default one (the first one) if in doubt.
Once installed, the game will be physically in home/games/football-life-24 with all the normal Windows path to follow. Add a shortcut to the final folder of the game because you will use it for patches and updates.
From Lutris, select the game, then select "Run EXE inside wine prefix" at the bottom left, to the right of the wine glass icon and choose the v2 patch executable: SPFL24_200b.exe.
This method is also useful for relaunching the settings.exe file at a later time.
