Going crazy - Box64/Wine Application renders incorrectly

Post by samueladams »

Hello, apologies in advance if I do something incorrect as I'm new here.

I've been trying a variety of things for a few days now but so far have been unable to solve this.

Setup:
  • Raspberry Pi 5 - 4Gb
  • OS - Debian 12 / Bookworm
  • Headless mode, I don't have any peripherals hooked up and I just VNC in for everything.
  • Wine/box64 was installed using pi-apps which just runs an install script / sets up overrides. I uploaded it to pastebin here if anyone wants to see it. I tried many other ways of downloading/building myself but this one is the only one that got me to a point where I could start the app. Unless I made a mistake, I removed and uninstalled all old versions before running the install.
  • The application is the Jagex Launcher. The installer itself doesn't work because it says you need internet explorer (or a newer version) on your system (I never figured out how to solve this. Gecko didn't help)
  • I use this python script which eliminates the need for the installer by downloading everything directly.
  • I then launch the launcher with

    Code: Select all

    wine JagexLauncher.exe
    A small little mini-taskbar(?) appears, and I have to double click the icon to pull up the launcher.
Afterwards, the login screen eventually loads, but is messed up. I don't know what is wrong here but it's like the styling is all messed up and everything is way too zoomed in/cramped. I can't even get all of the elements in one screenshot because the scrollbar is so long with a lot of empty space. I can click the (huge) text bar and if I type text I do see it appear. The text itself is small and relatively normal sized but it's all black unlike a working launcher where it would be white.

pastebin of the run log here
screenshots of the launcher here

Does anyone know what is happening here? Is this some sort of HTML/javascript issue or something? Or is this something else entirely like a display rendering issue? Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

P.S. I know there is an ARM64 version of RuneLite. I run Manjaro on my main PC and have RuneLite working there, so I could extract the credentials and bypass the need for the launcher entirely. The issue is that I have to renew them every now and then and I'd simply just like to get this working. That is a backup plan.

I forgot to mention in the main post but I am running with a 4k pagefile instead of the default 16k page file.
