WINE not launching post keyring update

Hi. Today when i updated: core/archlinux-keyring  20240709-2    20241015-1      0.00 MiB wine was unable to launch video games (directly from WoW.exe and/or Steam, as well as lutris) on both the LTS AND ZEN kernels.

I didn't review the entire logs, rather I simply timeshifted to yesterday after backing up my recently updated "WTF" WOW folder I have favorited in Gnome, and proceeded to play video games - as this was the first time I did not actually create a timeshift prior to updating that keyring. A bad idea I know realize.

what gives?

they keyring package has nothing whatsoever to do with launching games.

Re: WINE not launching post keyring update

correct. that was heresy based on the same unresolved issue over a year ago i reckon.

anyhoo ~ i narrrowed it down to proprietary nvidia packages, left it alone for a few days and now it works off and on? first on lts, now on zen also if i run winecfg first... because launching the app first seemed to not allow winecfg to run..maybe the system is delusional..it seems to have a mind of its own at this point in time, but its working. not sure if this is helpful, and  it's worth noting this article https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=268691 did not help me.

the fact remains: my cat /etc/mkinitcpio.conf MODULES are as follows: MODULES=()

i did not reinstall any wine packages or alter the wine configuration at all.

although i did IGNORE the following 4 packages during the interim: freerdp, freerdp2, gvfs-google, gvfs -onedrive.
