I am running the game via lutris and after the unreal engine splashscreen the fatal error popup appears. Reproduced in a clean wineprefix.

Please help

Log seems kinda empty? No DXVK messages or anything in there that would be remotely useful, even though there clearly should be given that we're creating a swapchain for Mangohud to work with. If you're running plain Wine rather than Proton for whatever reason then please dump the entire console output to a file (wine game.exe > log.txt 2>&1).

First guess would be some sort of missing dependency on your end, I don't really see how we'd have any genuine game-breaking bug that would prevent a bog-standard UE4 game from even starting, given that hundreds of others work just fine.

System wine is working correctly (10.2 Staging). The error is only occuring with Proton (GE and Experimental). I have attached the console output
log.txt

I have also attached the unreal engine crash report (Started generating when I used another clean prefix for some reason).

CrashContext.runtime-xml.log

I have installed d3dcompiler_42, d3dcompiler_43, d3dcompiler_46, d3dcompiler_47 & vcrun2022 via winetricks.
Thank you for your speedy reply

You're using wined3d according to the log output.

(even that should work just fine for UE4 games though, so there's probably more going wrong on your setup)

Oh sorry. Thats the wrong log file

Fixed with reinstall.
Thanks for the help

@MiscStuff839, what exactly have you reinstalled? Just the game?
