[Bug]: BeamNG is broken by whisky v2.3.0

[hw2007]

Description

After updating to Whisky 2.3.0, and installing "WhiskyWine", BeamNG.drive no longer works. It brings up a wine error saying the app needed to close, and then brings up an error from beamng saying that an error occurred in the user interface.

Also, is it possible to change the install location for whiskywine, so that I can use two versions of whisky at once (older one for beamng, newer one for everything else) until this gets fixed?

Steps to reproduce

1. Install whisky 2.3.0 or higher
2. Install BeamNG.drive to a new windows 10 bottle with DXVK on (beamng needs this to run)
3. Try to run BeamNG

Expected behaviour

The game should start without issues like it does in previous versions of whisky.

A TS_PROCESS_CRASHED Segmentation Fault is usually when an antivirus of some sort is blocking the item required to run, such as in this case, MainGEUI. Or, the app does not have the system permissions to access the folder with MainGUEI in it. Try disabling antiviruses and allow all users to View & Edit in Finder.

Another thing to try might be verifying game files integrity on Steam. (If you are using it)

I have already verified game files, also tried reinstalling the game completely. As for antivirus stuff, I do not have any antivirus software installed to my mac (besides whatever apple includes). I decided to try setting the entire bottle to view & edit for everyone, but that didn't do anything.

I have the exact same issues. Same errors, same issues. Is there a way to roll back to a previous version so that I can play BeamNG again?

Yes, you can!

1. Download any version before update 2.3.0 from the releases page
2. Open the whisky version you just downloaded
3. In the menu bar, hit Whisky >> Setup...
4. Hit "Uninstall" on GPTK
5. Hit "Next", and it will start installing the old version of GPTK which doesn't have this bug.

Note: You will not be able to use newer versions of whisky unless you install the new WhiskyWine, which will make beamng stop working again.

Have any other programs using CEF been having issues? Steam seems to have no problem despite its heavy reliance on CEF.

Could you please tell me what CEF means?
None of the other programs I have had any issues, only BeamNG.

CEF is the Chromium Embedded Framework, which basically allows using Chromium web views within your graphical application. BeamNG.drive uses this for the user interface. Chromium has a history of breaking inside Wine. I was wondering if other applications using CEF or even Electron-based (which uses Chromium to create the interface for the entire application, like Discord) stopped working.

Have you tried running an older version of the game from the Steam betas menu for BeamNG?

This happens on my Mac with an M1 Max. I created a new bottle with a fresh install of Steam and BeamNG, using Whisky 2.3.2.

Ah, okay. No I have not tried installing an older version.
