Dofus

What works

The launcher opens and is able to install Dofus (I recommend AppimageLauncher for more integration with Linux)

Dofus is able to start but Wine crashes on character creation

What does not

Videos hosted in the folder (Apparently the .mp4 specifically)

/home/<user>/.config/Ankama/Dofus/content/gfx/cinematics

cause the error in wine, which forces to close Dofus

Workarounds

There are 2 ways:

• Rename the folder so that Dofus does not recognize it (i did this)
• Delete the .mp4 video files with the following command
  rm -rf  $HOME/.config/Ankama/Dofus/content/gfx/cinematics/*.mp4

Thanks to Vjalmr for the help in Reddit

Notes: You can undo changes to the folder once you have created your character. If you deleted the files, you can download them again via the Ankama Launcher -> Dofus -> Game Options -> General -> Start Repair

In each update the folder/files that the game notices are missing will surely be downloaded again, so it will be necessary to do the process again.

What was not tested

It was not confirmed exactly which specific files caused the problem.

There was no attempt to change the format of the .mp4 files, possibly the game would not recognize them anyway

I haven't come across any cinematics in the game so far.

Hardware tested

Graphics:

• GPU: Intel
• Driver: open source

Additional Comments

I'll put gold because I consider this workaround to be simple enough to do and redo, after that the game behaves the same way as on Windows
