Playing windows games with wine suddenly doesn't work anymore

I haven't played one of my windows games in a while. So i was really surprised and confused as to why suddenly when i try to launch any of my windows games using wine, they all give an error, not the just not opening that i was kinda used to. I haven't changed the wine-proton version i use, nor did i change the version of heroic. But even on the newest version (2.17.2) it doesn't behave any differently, neither on an older one (2.13)
I tested launching them using steam instead and it still works that way.

I am aware that more information is probably needed, i just don't know what would be important.

To help you, we need a game log. Please see the following images on how to get it.

here is the link https://0x0.st/8nLE.log

i also now managed to run a different game over wine (with the same wine-version). but that log should probably not be uploaded, so i better only post it here

Wine 8.14 or newer is needed for winevulkan support.

dry-scarlet•7/22/25, 7:56 PM

Wine GE was likely based on older wine base than .14

I also now tried to launch it with my system wine, which is version 9.0, and it now seems to have different problems.
Although i'm kinda confused as to why the winevulcan problem appeared suddenly, shouldn't that have always been a problem with that Wine GE version?

Because dxvk 2.7 raised requirements

dry-scarlet•7/22/25, 8:23 PM

Now you are on dxvk 2.7

dry-scarletOP•7/22/25, 8:24 PM

oh, so it has something to do with system updates?

dry-scarlet•7/22/25, 8:24 PM

Heroic auto updates dxvk to latest

dry-scarletOP•7/22/25, 8:24 PM

i see

dry-scarlet•7/22/25, 8:25 PM

Just use proton ge latest, your gpu supports everything for dxvk

dry-scarletOP•7/22/25, 8:25 PM

i'll try

dry-scarletOP•7/22/25, 8:30 PM

sadly didn't help either.

also tried wine-ge-latest, but no luck

dry-scarletOP•7/22/25, 8:36 PM

but i guess the problem somehow being with dxvk makes sense, since all the emulated games that still work have in common that they don't use DirectX

dry-scarletOP•7/22/25, 8:36 PM

could i maybe roll back to an older version of heroic?

dry-scarletOP•7/22/25, 8:38 PM

wait no you said that it's something heroic updates, not a part of heroic itself.

For the love of god do system updates for once

dry-scarlet•7/22/25, 8:39 PM

dry-scarlet•7/22/25, 8:40 PM

Normally you should be on Mesa 25.1.6

dry-scarlet•7/22/25, 8:41 PM

Not 24.2.8

dry-scarletOP•7/22/25, 8:41 PM

hm, i thought i did all my updates recently, although i admit that i accumulated quite a lot.

dry-scarletOP•7/22/25, 8:41 PM

i'll try restarting my pc.

i guess drivers aren't something you can just get with the other updates?

dry-scarletOP•7/22/25, 8:50 PM

~~it also now now longer shows that it encountered an error, just directly closes the game again (not sure if this is an improvement or not).~~ Okay no after reinstalling the game the error window is back

dry-scarletOP•7/22/25, 8:52 PM

I also checked my driver-manager and it says i don't have any drivers to update

dry-scarletOP•7/22/25, 8:57 PM

When i use regular proton (not GE) from steam it does work.

dry-scarletOP•7/22/25, 8:59 PM

so i guess i have that as a backup, but i'm still confused as to why every other wine/proton version doesn't seem to work.

dry-scarlet•7/22/25, 9:01 PM

What base does Mint 22.1 uses?

dry-scarlet•7/22/25, 9:01 PM

As ubuntu base

dry-scarletOP•7/22/25, 9:02 PM

not sure what i'm supposed to answer there

Ddry-scarlet not sure what i'm supposed to answer there

dry-scarlet•7/22/25, 9:03 PM

Nothing

dry-scarlet•7/22/25, 9:03 PM

As i just looked it u0

dry-scarlet•7/22/25, 9:03 PM

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kisak/kisak-mesasudo add-apt-repository ppa:kisak/kisak-mesa

dry-scarlet•7/22/25, 9:04 PM

sudo apt updatesudo apt update

dry-scarlet•7/22/25, 9:04 PM

After these go your update manager and refresh

dry-scarlet•7/22/25, 9:08 PM

@Hat and Tie

dry-scarletOP•7/22/25, 9:08 PM

yes i'm on it

dry-scarletOP•7/22/25, 9:08 PM

although i don't have the best experience with manually adding a repository

dry-scarlet•7/22/25, 9:09 PM

Just do these in terminal

dry-scarlet•7/22/25, 9:09 PM

First one

dry-scarlet•7/22/25, 9:09 PM

And after that second one

dry-scarlet•7/22/25, 9:09 PM

That wont break anything
