I have been using TW with WINE on Linux for years now, mostly with great success. Something has come up just recently, I don't know if it is related to the high-dpi thing or not. Two updates happened at about the same time: from WINE 7.15 to 7.16 and an update to glibc (openSUSE Tumbleweed) which caused thousands of packages to be recompiled.

Anyway, here's the problem: I have for years adjusted WINE dpi scaling from 96dpi to 110dpi with no issues. After the OS updates, TW no longer runs at the higher dpi setting. If I revert to 96dpi using winecfg, all is well (except font size :? ) If I set it at anything larger than 96dpi, TW will not start. I get a funny little box in the upper left of the screen with a piece of the splash screen in it which never changes and the program keeps running at 10-12% cpu load. I tried creating a new WINE prefix and doing a minimal TW install with the same results. If I try running TW in a virtual desktop, the splash screen appears centered on the upper left corner and the program eventually stops responding. All other applications function properly in WINE.

If there is any particular testing/troubleshooting I can do that would be helpful, let me know.

Can you try to get the latest beta and try this? In the latest beta i have reverted the high-dpi support in the manifest.

Sorry, should have noted that I am using 1529. That is the latest one, correct?

Yes this is it. I don't have an idea to be honest.
The 10-12% cpu shows that something is looping there, but I can't imagine what that might be.

Do you have any other tools to troubleshoot this? I don't know wine to be honest.

Starting a few applications from the command line shows nothing odd for TW. Pretty much the usual stuff for things in WINE.

I'm not skilled at reading system calls but I started TW with strace and logged the output to a file. I let it run until it started looping, then stopped it. The log file gets big very quickly! It's about 28MB, here's a link if it would be helpful for you to look at it: https://drive.google.com/open?id=10yvNv ... Zle754KEZM

It appears to be a WINE issue for me at least. Downgraded from WINE 7.16 to 7.12 and TW works as before. Hopefully that means glibc was not the culprit. Still don't know what the change was in WINE that caused the breakage.

It was a regression in WINE 7.16, fixed in 7.17 (https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53601)

I installed the automatic mode so there is a new version I don't need to install.
