Hi all,

I have a really weird issue. I’ve been playing “Horizon Zero Dawn” on Bottles with wine-GE. It was working fine. At one point, it stopped working and started crashing after initial loading screen, without any detail in the pop up message. I tried to reset everything but the problem kept occurring.

I reinstalled steam and then the game immediately starts working again, even though it uses Bottles, not steam. Then I remembered that I uninstalled steam shortly before the game stopped working.

Why would this be happening? Anyway to make it work without having steam installed?

I use gentoo Linux with bspwm. I also have Hyprland installed but don’t use it for gaming. I have an nvidia 3060 Ti and the nvidia drivers installed. I have bottles installed through flatpak.

I checked the logs by running bottles from terminal (is that what you meant?)

I didn’t see anything out or the ordinary.

I mentioned gentoo but I think it shouldn’t matter as I installed bottles using flatpak, so I assume it should have everything it needs. But gentoo does install a very minimal base OS.

Hmm… have a read, there might be something to help you here:
