jedza: When doing sh start.sh I get

And it stays there forever.
It works when I try to run windows version through wine without messing around with anything. Same thing happens with Flatout2, though I didn't try with windows version of this one.

I know Arch Linux is not supported, but maybe somebody had simmilar issue here?
Hi jedza!

What do you mean by "it stays there forever"? How long did you wait? The game needs to configure its Wine prefix on the first run and it takes a longer while (probably about a minute, but this might differ).

Please also make sure that you installed your local 32 bit Wine package, as it is needed to satisfy game dependencies.

Could you provide a detailed system report of your machine? It can be generated using the script that you will find in the installation path. If you are not comfortable posting this kind of information here, you can also contact our support: https://support.gog.com/

jedza: By forever I mean it was like 15 minutes at least when I let it run on its own.

I don't know if there even is separate wine package for 32 bit, I thought it's all handled by prefixes. When I googled 'ubuntu wine 32bit' I see that it also is handled that way.

I don't mind sharing it here, but can't attach it cause of 'wrong file format'. Tried ziping it, and it's the same, so I uploaded it to sendspace:

Could you try checking if there is a (hidden) log file in the following path:

/home/marek/GOG Games/FlatOut/drunk/.tmp_x11.log

If yes, please provide it's contents.

If not, please create an empty file with this name in the specified path.

Please also check if the game works in windowed mode (virtual desktop). To do that, either use a game shortcut in your menu or use the launch script in the game installation path with the right parameter:

./start.sh -w

jedza: running with -w doesn't work either. There was no .tmp_x11.log, and after I created it, only thing appearing there is
fixme:console:CONSOLE_DefaultHandler Terminating process 8 on event 0
after I finally press ctrl+c, to stop the script
I'm sorry, I am unable to reproduce your issue. You might try to run it with bash instead of sh, just to be sure.

If you're not satisfied with your workaround (running the game directly in Wine instead of using our wrapper), you can contact our support: https://support.gog.com/

jedza: Nah, I'm fine with that, though Flatout 2 doesn't run either way.
When ran with your script, though, it crashes, doesn't keep running forever, and here is .tmp_x11.log output:
winedbg: Internal crash at 0x7e8bac64
And if I try to run it with wine I get dialog window Fatal error with message 'Failed to create effect: data/shader/pro_static2x.sha'.
At this point I expect something either video card related or display related, but I have no way to check this. That's why I suggested you run the game in windowed mode (virtual desktop). You could also tinker with the settings launcher.
