Help running .exe with wine

Post by Steedneeds »

I get this error each time I run .exe of any kind. I want a sort of walkthrough these errors, one by one fixing it all.
I also get this error when I run 'winecfg'.

Code: Select all

Do you have a laptop with an Intel and an Nvidia GPU?
If so, can you start winecfg with:

Code: Select all

VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/intel_icd.x86_64.json wine winecfg

It worked..!
But, I would like to know the 'why's' and 'how's' about this, I'm not entirely sure to install drivers to fix the issue in the future or..?

If it wouldn't bother you, I would like further assistance in the future. Many thanks.

It seems to have been fixed, thanks! But there is the other issue, 'MESA-INTEL: warning: Haswell Vulkan support is incomplete' Is still haunting me to this day. Although I don't think there is much to do about it, I'm still open to ideas.

This is because Intel's GPU driver (the MESA module) cannot yet handle all Vulkan instructions. As a result, some parts of a game cannot be displayed (properly).

Keep in mind, when you run a program with VK_ICD_FILENAMES=... your second GPU isn't used. For many programs this will not be a problem, but with games you will notice a big drop in performance.
