notes: "First launch takes longer than usual: the MTGO client itself (~640 MB) is\
  \ not downloaded during install. The first time you click Play, setup.exe runs its\
  \ ClickOnce bootstrapper, shows an \"Application Install - Security Warning\" dialog\
  \ (click Install), downloads and deploys the client, then opens the login screen.\
  \ Every later Play launches MTGO directly.\r\n\r\nRequires installing into a new,\
  \ empty game folder \u2014 the installer will refuse to run if $GAMEDIR already\
  \ has files in it (e.g. from a previous failed install). Remove the game from your\
  \ Lutris library (with files) or empty the folder by hand before retrying.\r\n\r\
  \nThere are some new optimizations from thedevnull github repo, to forcing WPS and\
  \ .NET application to render properly, via enviroment variables and Wine parameters,\
  \ feel free to change if you need."
