For anyone with an alike problem
Recent update in wine-staging if anyone had any issues with wine.
Wine did this as well

Wine stageing update broke Medal of honor Spearhead - Downgrading fixed issue.
Usual loading of file is
$ WINEDEBUG=-all __GL_ExtensionStringVersion=17700 wine moh_spearhead.exe
Starts to load then crashes.

Downgraded from 7.22 to 7.20

> # pacman -U file:///var/cache/pacman/pkg/wine-staging-7.20-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

Edit - Don’t know why I was using staging version but switched back to wine 7.22 and does same thing, so downgraded to wine 6.21

pacman -U file:///var/cache/pacman/pkg/wine-6.21-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

I don’t know if or where I should report such an issue, but here it is if there is anything I should do.
That is all.

Just want to mention that wine (staging or not) will always regress on some of updates for some programs / games, because it is VERY complex software.

So downgrading system package is not best idea, best tactics would be to learn how to use portable prefixes / engines (wine part of guide with script examples), which will be independent of system ones, so won’t break on updates.
