I wanted to play NFS:World, but it isn't loading. I tried SoapBox app and russian World Evolved client, but it just crashes. Is there any guide for running NFS World? Somewhere I saw that Wine 9.9 is required, I couldn't find wine 9.9, so tried Proton 9.9 using Bottles, but no any luck.

This game was an MMO, and the servers have been shut down for 10 years. There's no way to play it.

There does seem to be some Open Source project to recreate it though: https://nightriderz.world/

NightRiderz is a server, SoapBox RaceWorld is the actual client recreating NFS : World https://soapboxrace.world/
