Bug ID: 44200 Summary: Quake Champions Instant Crash To Desktop (Steam) Product: Wine Version: 2.21 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: 7oxicshadow@googlemail.com Distribution: ---
Created attachment 59969 --> https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=59969 QC crash dump
I have been playing Quake Champions in Wine with no problems for the past few months but unfortunately there was a patch released in December that broke compatibility.
If you open the game, a black window opens and just before the intro would start to play the game crashes back to desktop. This issue is/was present for a large number of real windows 7 users as well.
A solution was posted on the Quake Champions forum which has fixed the problem for %95 of the community.
1. Make sure that Win 7 SP1 is installed 2. Install the following (specific) windows update:

Does anyone know what this update does, Is there anyway to install it on Wine?
There is no useful debug information as it crashes silently but I have attached a crashdump.dmp file. I am unsure if the format is propitiatory or not.
I have tested both 2.21 and 2.21 staging as both were working fine before the patch.

The general consensus is that it is something related to game overlays as the issue has been linked to plays.tv and a number of graphics card software overlays
