Hi,

You should upgrade your wine-version, from 5.0 to more resent version like wine-7.16 or 7.0 if you prefer stable.

I gave it a try from https://electron.descript.com/Descript% ... 0824.4.exe and it starts here into the login screen. You`ll likely also need "winetricks arial d3dcompiler_47". I also tried to login using my google-account but somehow that stalled, not sure if that`s a problem on my side; needs more testing I guess. Good luck
