Message

Fail to launch (after the window where the game checks its integrity). AMD IGP (Vega 11). Wine 4.0.3 and 4.0.4. XUbuntu 18.04 amd64, Vulkan. Same issue after installing DXVK_161.

Debug log last line: fixme:d3d:state_linepattern_w Setting line patterns is not supported in OpenGL core contexts.

The last time I tested it OK, it was a Intel Core I3-4130 computer, IGP: Intel HD 4400, same OS (same HDD).

Was working beautifully until tonight (Aug 24/2019) I am going to try and reinstall from this link again but the previous two times didn't work

I cannot tell you the reason but after re-downloading everything, it worked the third time.  Apple Gremlins.  However, thanks for the GREAT job helping us non-tech person enjoy games that otherwise we wouldn't be able to enjoy as much or at all

To add to the script (because there is on crash report that does not stop the installation): POL_Wine --ignore-errors "$SETUP_EXE"
