Recipe for Disaster from Epic crashes after the main menu

The game opens correctly but after some seconds on the main menu, it crashes. I attached the log. OS: Fedora 37 Workstation KERNEL: 6.1.9-200.fc37.x86_64 CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600 RAM: Total: 16 GiB GRAPHICS: Radeon RX 6600 PROTOCOL: wayland

the dxvk toggle sometimes breaks so just keep disabling and renabling it until it works you can check with mangohud then install d3dcompiler_43 and d3dcompiler_47 huh seems like the logs don't contain the dxvk startup thing anymore but I would just make sure it's enabled using mangohud seems like mouse is broken I am going to try wine-ge now ok worked it tried to open the epic overlay which doesn't work on staging because of shared resources anways 1. so use wine-ge 2. enable EOS overlay 3. enable DXVK 4. winetricks d3dcompiler_43 d3dcompiler_47 on the prefix it gives you a little popup for some data it wants to assosicate with your epic account (allow/deny usual deal) using the overlay it's quite nice that it works under linux took many people many hours of work for that in fact people thought it was impossible at one point whoops game crashed /usr/include/c++/12.2.1/bits/stl_vector.h:1123: std::vector<_Tp, _Alloc>::reference std::vector<_Tp, _Alloc>::operator [with _Tp = gamepad; _Alloc = std::allocator<gamepad>; reference = gamepad&; size_type = long unsigned int]: Assertion '__n < this->size()' failed. yeah so gamepad support is sus apparently wine-ge moment right there

This doesn't happen to me. following your steps I still have the same problem. About 3-5 seconds in the main menu, the game closes.

you have to enable it for the game, click the game card > click the 3 dots menu > click Enable EOS Overlay

I pressed the blue button (which I guess it's the OK one) and it seems to work

yeah wine-ge is missing a buttload of fonts thanks to it's old base wine version

you can probably install corefonts using winetricks to workaround that for now
