I’m running arma 3’s launcher with wine, and I ran it on my last distro perfectly fine, but this doesn’t run at all for some reason. I’ve tried troubleshooting but nothing. It has something to do with wbemprox.dll which I can find and disable, but it doesn’t fix anything. The error message is:
0150:err:sync:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 7FC818A0 "../wine/dlls/wbemprox/table.c: table_cs" wait timed out in thread 0150, blocked by 0148, retrying (60 sec) 0120:err:sync:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 7FC818A0 "../wine/dlls/wbemprox/table.c: table_cs" wait timed out in thread 0120, blocked by 0148, retrying (60 sec) 0024:err:sync:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 7783112C "?" wait timed out in thread 0024, blocked by 0120, retrying (60 sec)
so i just installed it from the AUR and it works great. Thank you so much for the suggestion. Could you inform me on any downside there might be to wine-ge as opposed to regular wine?
The only real downside with GE is that you’re basically reliant on one guy (GE == GloriousEggroll), but it’s all opensource, and more projects are collaborating with him now (like the guys behind Lutris and Heroic), so hopefully if the project stops for whatever reason, someone else can pick it up and continue.
And you can still have use regular Wine in case there’s any compatibility issues (eg using the version in Flatpak, or Bottles, or the extracted .tar.gz).

Nice, good to hear!
