Game crashes after system updates

Post by Natani »

So as the title says. I have noticed that each time there are updates, the game I use wine for 'World of Tanks' refuses to play fully. It will act like it is playing then crashes shortly after. Only solution so far is a reboot of my pc. What troubleshooting can I do to figure out the cause?

If the update also updates parts of the graphics card drivers (especially Nvidia's), then (many) 3D programs will not work properly until the graphics environment is rebooted. Without knowing which parts have been updated, it is difficult to give an answer.

Ah that makes sense, so I guess I should look at what the updates are to maybe help determine what was updates.
