Bug ID: 46790 Summary: Witcher 3 hangs shortly after launch; may show 'press space to skip' Product: Wine-staging Version: 4.3 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: blocker Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: riddervancocagne@hotmail.com CC: leslie_alistair@hotmail.com, z.figura12@gmail.com Distribution: ---
Created attachment 63809 --> https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=63809 Zip file containing api trace, partial console output and Witcher 3 crash report.
If The Witcher 3 is launched using Wine 4.3 Staging, it will grind to a halt almost immediately.
This is no ordinary black screen, as the game often does display the text 'Press space to skip'. Pressing space has no effect, however.
I have also tried running the game on Wine 3.03 Stable, Wine 4.0 Stable and Wine 4.3 Devel. All three variants launch and run the game.
Attached: partial console output, api trace and Witcher 3 crash report generated by the game itself.
