So installed Neverwinter Nights Enhanced Edition on a Raspberry Pi to test if it would work in Box64 and/or Wine, but when looking at the files there is a subfolder in the "bin" folder called "linux-arm64" that contains what I assume are the basic executables called "nwmain-linux" and "nwserver-linux," and after multiple hours of looking I cannot find a single shred of documentation about them anywhere on the internet. nwmain-linux gets as far as opening a window labeled "Neverwinter Nights" that immediately locks up before it even tries to draw its own graphics. Certain ways of trying to launch it might get stuck at a particular line in the terminal window I launched it in, or throw up some extremely generic and unhelpful error messages, that I'm almost 100% positive are coming from Linux and not NWEE itself because it's stuff like "registering crash signal handlers"
Like I said I can't find any documentation about this anywhere. I'm not asking for someone to walk me through every single step of troubleshooting it, I just want to know like, what is this executable even supposed to be doing and is it even supposed to be able to run on this computer? Just to decide if it's even worth it to spend more time trying to fix it. Has anyone actually used it and can say "yes it is possible to play the game on Linux using the executable in the linux-arm64 folder?" I'm not only talking about a Raspberry Pi but just aarch64/arm64 Linux in a general sense. Also this is on Debian if that matters
