--- Comment #69 from demurgos@demurgos.net --- I am using Wine 3.5 and want to run Skyrim Special Edition through Steam in a win64 prefix.
- When installing the game and simply starting it (fresh start), the game starts but there are no dialogues during the opening sequence.
- Same result when using `winecfg` to override `xaudio2_7` to use `builtin` (normal I guess, it seems to be the default): game starts but no dialogues (only the sound of the horses).
- When using `winecfg` to override `xaudio2_7` to use `native`, the game crashes at start.
- When running `winetricks xact` or `winetricks --force xact`, I see no change. The entries in `winecfg` are not modified. With the `native` `xaudio2_7` the game crashes, otherwise it starts but there are no dialogues.
The very first time I set `xaudio2_7` to `native`, the game has started without crashing and the dialogues worked. I closed the game during the character creation. I tried to reopen it (without any changes) but then it crashed with the behavior described above. I removed the wine prefix and reinstalled it but wasn't able to start the game with the native `xaudio2_7`. I don't know why it has worked once and wasn't able to reproduce it.
For me, the solution would be to either fix the xaudio2_7 native crash, fix the dialogues with the builtin xaudio2_7 or understand why it worked once with the native xaudio2_7.
I can submit some logs if you want.
