--- Comment #3 from Matthias Elsdoerfer mr.matt.eastwood@gmx.de --- Hello @mirh, thanks for following up. I'm afraid I haven't yet reinstalled Lutris or F.E.A.R. since I reformatted my PC when Linux Mint 21.1 came out in December. I did reinstall Wine-Staging and I'm on version 8.0-rc4. I can't find any file named eax.dll anywhere in the drive_c directory.
I will keep this in mind and follow up as soon as I find time, but it might be a while.
