Manjaro/wine/dxvk works for others, but for me crashes just prior to entering 3D view

Please help resolve this mysterious crash, which other manjaro users do not experience with this game. The backtrace and log file (with the dbghelp lines stripped out to reduce size) are attached.

starting with a clean install of Manjaro 20.2

Code: Select all

pamac install wine
pamac install winetricks
winetricks --self-update
#create WINEPREFIX
#run wine on Setup.exe 
#to install Falcon BMS 4.35
winetricks dxvk

versions;
wine-5.22
winetricks 20201206-next
nvidia driver: 455.45.01
hardware: i7 laptop with GeForce GTX 960M

This laptop has a Win10 partition and a Manjaro partition. The Falcon BMS 4.35 game runs in the Win 10 partition, thus we can conclude that the hardware is compatible with the game and that the linux problem is in the software.

Others have succeeded in running this game on Manjaro and Ubuntu - we're all stumped about why this doesn't work for me.

The log file was generated via

Code: Select all

wine Launcher -nomovie &> log.txt
grep -v dbghelp log.txt > log_grepMinusV_dbghelp.txt

Problem solved. I got the game running under Manjaro by switching to wine-staging:

Code: Select all

pamac install wine-staging
