--- Comment #4 from Cheyner <ryan at rnrcarpet.com> ---
wine-staging 6.6 works and amazon games starts and works. Guessing from the
.net install timeout fix at least for me anyway but perhaps its also from
something else.

Working step-by-step follows. There could be errors as I put it together
quickly. ie8 for instance I believe won't install as it may be 32bit only and
thus not needed.

Have a clean 64bit prefix with wine 6.6 (eg WINEPREFIX=~/amazon_games winecfg)

Download amazon games exe
Run amazon games setup using prefix (eg WINEPREFIX=~/amazon_games wine
AmazonGamesSetup.exe)

Cancel gecko install if it asks
Application will install successfully

Get winetricks if needed
cd amazon_games
wget 
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Winetricks/winetricks/master/src/winetricks
chmod +x winetricks

WINEPREFIX=~/amazon_games sh ~/amazon_games/winetricks --unattended dotnet40
dotnet452 dotnet45 dotnet46 dotnet461 dotnet462 dotnet471 dotnet472 dotnet48

WINEPREFIX=~/amazon_games sh ~/amazon_games/winetricks --unattended vcrun2017

WINEPREFIX=~/amazon_games sh ~/amazon_games/winetricks --unattended corefonts

WINEPREFIX=~/amazon_games sh ~/amazon_games/winetricks --unattended winhttp
wininet msxml4 msxml6 iertutil ie8

Start amazon games (eg WINEPREFIX=~/amazon_games wine
"~/amazon_games/drive_c/users/linux64/Local Settings/Application Data/Amazon
Games/App Amazon Games.exe")

Login

Click retry on dx11 error if it pops up

Amazon games should start. I haven't yet tested if games will install and work
but the application itself appears to be working fine.
