I have installed the Epic Games Launcher. It opens up with a mostly black window. However, the app draws its own window controls, such as minimize and close, and those work. Also, there's a "Settings" icon in the corner. When I click that, it takes me to a settings screen which appears to work. However, the rest of the window is black and I cannot install the untitled goose game, as I so desperately want to do.
I'm using wine 4.19-staging. The Epic Games Launcher version ... well, I have a story about that: While I was gathering info for this bug report, I started the launcher and this time, the "Settings" icon had a dot on it. So I clicked the Settings icon, and it said there was a new version of the launcher and I should click here to install the new version and restart the launcher, and I did and it worked. So at least that much of the app is working.
Anyway, the version (which is visible from the Settings screen) is now 10.9.1-10088168+++Portal+Release-Live
I don't think this is related to the ancient #40376 since that was last updated 2 years ago and seems to be caused by a bug which was fixed in a prior version of wine.
