WINE 11 - Eve launcher broken

Im a linux (mint) user, and ive been using winehq-staging for a while since that worked with the eve launcher.

However, winehq-staging has been pushed to 11.0-rc1 and now im getting a blank(white) screen. reverting back to 10.20 seems to have fixed it.

Im making this post purely informational but if anyone has the same, or knows a fix, im welcome to try lol.

Problem i also have is that stable ( 10.0 ) doesnt show the launcher at all so euh… eh?

I will be digging deeper into this, maybe even make a post @ winehq if nobody here has an idea and ive also run out of ideas :slight_smile:

EDIT: found https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42473 , so thats worth an investigation if the same things are happening but with never versions. the prefix didn’t change so what is installed shouldn’t change but you never know

I can confirm this…just had experienced the white launcher window in the same way for debian 12 - happens with both winehq-devel and winehq-staging. I removed all four components of wine and then installed specifically the last version of devel - you need to adapt for your wine-type, distribution and version ofc.:

apt install --install-recommends winehq-devel=10.20~bookworm-1 wine-devel=10.20~bookworm-1 wine-devel-i386=10.20~bookworm-1 wine-devel-amd64=10.20~bookworm-1
