XEdit

What works

Launching the app works, but it almost immediately crashes after a second or two once the window appears and shows the Wine backtrace window.

What does not

Using the app for its intended purpose beyond simply launching it.

Workarounds

What was not tested

Any of the application's intended functionality besides drawing the initial window.

Hardware tested

Graphics:

• GPU: AMD
• Driver: open source

Additional Comments

To clarify:

1. Install a Bethesda game (in my case, I installed Oblivion from GOG using Heroic as a front-end but using the system installed Wine version)
2. cd to where xEdit is installed
3. Depending on the game, change all references to "xEdit" to the specific game being used by renaming the executables (in this case, it would be "TES4Edit" instead)
4. Run: WINEPREFIX="/path/to/prefix" WINEARCH="win64" winecfg (then click okay / closer the window after adding a wincfg entry for xEdit to run in WinXP mode)
5. Run the game launcher once using that prefix, open the game, then close it (assuming the launcher doesn't have "Play" greyed out; it was for me, so I closed the launcher then launched the game directly)
6. Run: WINEPREFIX="/path/to/prefix" WINEARCH="win64" wine start ./TES4Edit64.exe -D "Z:\path\to\game\folder\Data" ("Data" is an actual folder named that)
7. xEdit Crashes with a runtime error

Note: If you specifically run the 64-bit executable it'll give a message about considering using the 32-bit mode for speed, and interacting with that message box works, but it will proceed to crash afterwards.

Running the program without any arguments instead throws an error about there being a missing registry entry for the game, but the program doesn't crash if doing this. Normally, this would be to detect the game location, but xEdit was made for the Steam version in mind in this regard, which is why this separate error is thrown.

Performing a similar process using Mod Organizer makes no difference as the results are the same.
