These are exactly my thoughts about tech YouTubers. They have no idea what they're talking about and encourage mindless consumption. Glad I'm not the only one who's thought about this.

The site you've linked to literally uses Facebook and Google browser trackers. Pretty hypocritical of them if you ask me.

I don't think I've used Google Chrome itself for over 3 years now (excluding on other people's devices). I don't plan to ever use it again either.

I'm not sure how to mess around with different fonts or how to apply different ones

[–] DreitonLullaby@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Can you see the digits you input or are they replaced with asterisks or something so it’s not obvious if the software accepted the input.

Yeah, I can see them; they aren't asterisks.

I’d just try to input the code and let the installer switch me to the next input field automatically. That’s how it usually works.

That's the first thing I tried; it's the usual way. But I solved the textbox issue by installing Microsoft Core Fonts with winetricks corefonts

No I didn't try that thanks. I'll give it a shot. I solved the text box issue by installing Microsoft Core Fonts with winetricks corefonts

[–] DreitonLullaby@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

can you work around this by copy/pasting maybe all 25 characters at once or maybe each segment at a time?

I tried that already and it didn't work.

Thanks for helping; I still have at least one roadblock stopping me from installing but I managed to solve the text-box issue by installing Microsoft Core Fonts with the command winetricks corefonts

Alright, so I continued the installation and inserted Disc 2 when I needed to, to continue to the next part of the installation. Now I get a 'feature transfer error'. The error says "Error: -1603 Fatal error during installation. Consult Windows Installer Help (Msi.chm) or MSDN for more information".

Thanks so much! Yes, running winetricks corefonts worked for me; sorry for the late reply. I can now put all 5 digits in each text box; let's hope the game runs fine.

Oh, cool, I didn't know the Definitive Edition was free now; nice. Still, I'd like to get the original version working if I can.
