full log

With version 2.14, I was able to start and play "The Witcher 3".
With version 2.17 I cannot anymore.
Looking at the logs, the only message that seems to matter is about GL
implementation not accepting 4 component specular colors.
I'm attaching both the full log and my glxinfo output.

Are you using partially patched Wine, or staging Wine?

I've tried wine-staging, then wine from Arch/Manjaro.

Right now I'm on 'multilib/wine 2.17-1 [installed]'

Do you have OpenGL version set in the registry? If yes, try removing it, or the
other way around.

I had OpenGL set for max version 4.5 (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Direct3D)
I tried removing Direct3D : the specular error disappeared but the game still
didn't started.
I tried adding it again set for 4.6, the specular error came back and no start.

So I guess this was not the root cause.

[Bug 43772] Witcher 3 not starting (anymore) is started directly, works if started from the command line.

I've tried to start the game from the command line, hoping to see a message
printed on the prompt or something.
Instead, the game started.

So if I do: (Like I have done for months)

env WINEDEBUG=-all WINEPREFIX="/opt/games/wine/gog64" /usr/bin/wine "C:\GOG
Games\The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt GOTY\bin\x64\witcher3.exe"

It does not work.

If I do:
env WINEDEBUG=-all WINEPREFIX="/opt/games/wine/gog64" /usr/bin/wine cmd
c:
cd c:\GOG Games\The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt GOTY\bin\x64
witcher3.exe

It does.

Their respective console output are a bit different.  I'm attaching them.

It's not a bug then. I always had to cd to the working directory first when
running the game from some script. You can close this I suppose.

I wonder what changed then.  I've always used the icon on the desktop before.
I'm closing it.
