To get the client to run you need to download the launcher, and omp-client.dll. (https://assets.open.mp/omp-client.dll)

Then you need to put omp-client.dll in the AppData\Local\com.open.mp\omp\ folder of your prefix

You also should install allfonts through winetricks, or else the game will crash when you pause.

In case that the game doesn't work(for me it didn't show the login prompt on wtls), you should try toggling on/off the settings "Prefer system libraries" in lutris.

To get the client to run you need to download the launcher, and [omp-client.dll](https://assets.open.mp/omp-client.dll). \

Then you need to put omp-client.dll in the AppData\Local\com.open.mp\omp\ folder of your prefix.\

After that, you can execute the open mp launcher through the cli, or make a batch file like the one below, so that you can add it to your launcher of choice.

### Here is a sample .bat file for editing

```
13+
Z:\path\to\omp-launcher.exe -h server.ip -p port -n dzmtrzz -g Z:\home\yourname\foo\bar\baz\gamepath\
14+
```

You can run omp-launcher.exe with the --help flag to get more info about the flags, in case the example above isn't enough.
