Trying to start Parsec

[matiasman1]

Hello

I'm trying to run the 32-bit implementation of Parsec, an online videogame screensharing program.
https://parsecgaming.com/downloads/

The installation process runs perfectly
Once the program runs the log says twice that there is an error with msctfp.dll

After that, there is a pause, in which the log prints out

Then the program window appears
Then an error message saying the graphics subsystem could not initialize and to try restarting the program, also to contact the developer. I haven't found any reference to a graphics subsystem error in their support website. https://support.parsecgaming.com/hc/en-us

I made an override for msctfp.dll, but making it native only changes the original two

Linux Mint 19.2 Cinnamon
wine: 4.0
Fresh wineprefix

I can't mimic this with Wine 5.x in a clean 32-bit prefix.

Why don't you use the native Linux version?

[matiasman1]

Native version is 64-bit, and due to Quarantine, I only have access to a 32-bit computer. I could partition my drive and install WIndows 7, but I hoped wine could save me the hassle.

Will install wine 5.0 and try again
