Will not start with the most recent GE8-17.
I have a pre-steam wargaming account, thats why I installed the game through Lutris. The routine installed the most recent (as of today) GE8-17. While WoT is running fine with that GE, WoWS is hanging at the login screen.
mangohud %command%
Loading a savegame crashes the game.
TL;DR works with 7.2-GE-3-test-3 (maybe even later ones, but I didn't try further)
Long story: The native version is not recognizing the expansion (Enemy Within). Therefore I used the Proton layer. It started right away with GE8-14, but loading savegames would crash the game. I disabled "VSync" and "Framerate smoothing" and it worked. The next day though, for reasons, I could only load savegames to the base management view. Starting a mission or loading a mission savegame would crash the game. I tried the Proton Experimental, the GE8-14, the GE8-11 and almost gave up on it. I had a historic version of GE-7.2-3-test-3 and tried it for fun. That one works surprisingly - yay! It's running the second day now and seems stable.
DXVK_FILTER_DEVICE_NAME="3060" mangohud %command%
For those running an Intel with onboard graphics (AMD maybe the same): You need to force the game to use the dedicated card like above, e.g. for a RTX 3060ti
"mangohud %command%" only if you want to run mangohud of course. :-)
If not, the game will start and immediately crash and start collecting a crashlog...
Sometimes there are visible separation lines between adjacent terrain texture borders. Not sure if this is the same in Windows environment.
Runs perfect imo.
