๐ก Useful Tips
| Issue | Solution |
|---|---|
| ๐ข Performance drops | Switch the Box64 preset to Performance in Container Settings โ Advanced |
| ๐งฉ .NET Framework apps | Install Wine Mono via Start Menu โ System Tools โ Installers |
| ๐ฎ Older games won't launch | Add the environment variable MESA_EXTENSION_MAX_YEAR=2003 in Container Settings โ Environment Variables |

โน๏ธ Project Information
This project was originally based on the Winlator Bionic codebase by Pipetto-crypto, from mid-2025.
Since then, ref4ik mod has grown into an independent project โ it develops its own original features while also integrating useful features from other Winlator-based projects, along with its own fixes and improvements. It is no longer a simple fork that mirrors upstream โ it follows its own development path and release schedule.
โ ๏ธ Disclaimer / Support Policy
- This project is built entirely with the help of AI tools (neural networks).
- The app is tested on one device only. There is no guarantee that all features will work correctly on other devices, GPUs, or Android versions.
- No official support and no obligation to fix something that works on my device but not on yours. If a feature works on my device, it's not broken.
- Development happens in my free time, not on a fixed schedule โ releases may be irregular and there's no guaranteed timeline.
- Stability between versions is not guaranteed โ something that works in one version may break in the next, and rollbacks/fixes for older versions are not guaranteed either.
