WINE file naming PSA

After months of having trouble launching some games and needing manual tweaks all over the board(i used to think it was because of my AMD card), i found out the reason: my games storage folder is called “armazém”, which some games translates as “armaz?m”, which means their entire configuration is messed up and nothing just works.

I wish this was a popup on the wine installation process, it’s really hard to debug and i only found out about it by chance. Should have known better than using special characters though, but if anyone is having weird, impossible to debug launching or crashing problems that output nothing, maybe check your folder structure.
