Bug ID: 44050 Summary: Skyrim Special Edition: No video output with resolution at 800x500 Product: Wine Version: 2.21 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: andrew.mrolko@gmail.com Distribution: ---
Created attachment 59725 --> https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=59725 Log from Terminal. This is an EXT4 partition
When launching the game (from the Skyrim Launcher) the 800x500 window goes grey, (not black) and the game freezes. However audio does play!
The only way to exit the game, is to navigate to a different desktop, and kill the SkyrimSE.exe process. Despite the game audio playing indicating that the application is running, the user is unable to interact with the game in any way. (navigating the menu using only the arrow keys and audio queues like Macgyver doesn't work)
This happens with, and without the workaround outlined in Bug 41618 which states that the user is to launch the game using the xaudio2_7 argument.
I have attached a logfile showing 2 attempts I made to launch the game, and the associated terminal readouts. One attempt with the xaudio2_7 argument and the other attempt without.
To clarify, this is the workflow for launching skyrim SE:
Open Steam->Launch Skyrim Special Edition->Configure game settings in Skyrim SE Launcher (this works!)->Click 'Play'->Game launches at resolution specified in the Skyrim SE Launcher (This is where it fails. The game freezes at a grey window with no audio)
Tested at 800x500 (my native resolution) (sample resolution which is the smallest 16:10 resolution that the game supports) windowed
