Diablo 4 randomly stopped working - eviltoast

Hey Folks,

I had Diablo 4, the Battle.net version, running perfectly fine under Lutris Flatpak. Then randomly one day it just stopped working, I didn’t download a new version of the wine runner I was using, I didn’t make any configuration changes it just broke. Specifically it boots, the screen goes grey for a few seconds, and then it loads up super slowly, like 1 fps and makes the game interface and Plasma becomes unusable, so I have to drop to a TTY to kill the process. Nothing really interesting is show if I select “show logs” in Lutris.

I was thinking some Flatpak Lutris update broke it, so I tried to install the game using Bottles, also a Flatpak, but ended up with exact same problem. Now I am thinking this may be a Mesa problem since that is a dependency both of these Flatpaks share. I am using the same Wine GE version on both, but it’s a version from February and it worked just fine a few weeks ago.

Any recommendations on what I could do or what I could look at to debug further?

    are you running amd, intel or nvidia dedicated gpu? Which igpu were you running intel or amd?

    Asking in case in the future someone has a similar issue so they can use your solution.
