Bad .EXE issue with Wine.

Has anyone run into the Discord plugin refusing to start and spitting out this log line?

ShellExecuteEx failed: Bad EXE format for
Z:\home\<user>\.config\opendeck\plugins\com.elgato.discord.sdPlugin\Discord.exe

ShellExecuteEx failed: Bad EXE format for
Z:\home\<user>\.config\opendeck\plugins\com.elgato.discord.sdPlugin\Discord.exe

Setup Ubuntu 24.04 x86‑64 OpenDeck 2.5.0 (official .deb) Wine 9.0 — wine, wine32, and wine64 all installed and working Seems the discord plugin is 64-bit but wine is trying to run it as a 32-bit.

Solution:

Thank you for your input I solved it by doing the following: ``` rm -rf ~/.wine export WINEARCH=win64 ░▒▓ 1 ✘ │ 13:43:12...

Maybe try updating Wine? I think 9.0 is reasonably old by now
