first of all, im on some linux distro based on arch. and im lazy. yeah i dont know either how those two compaginate, but they are factors
so, some weeks ago, my n3ds xl met a terrible fate. i used it almost exclusively to play boi rebirth, and i ended up installing boi afterbirth+ on my laptop to play it again. but it crashed, consistently, everytime i picked up the "glitter bombs" item. always, no matter what. i looked on the internet, and there were other ppl with this problem, and exactly zero solutions or even real theories about why. i ignored it and went on with my life without picking it
days after that, i kinda forgot, and got the item again. picked it up. it didnt crash. i didnt know why, but it didnt crash. again, i went on with my life without really thinking much of it
while i was messing around just now, i think i finally discovered the reason behind the crashes
i tried to pick the item up. crashed. "not again". restarted the game. crashed. "ugh, what have i done recently?"
that one library
i downgraded re2 and booted the game again. picked up the glitter bombs. flawless, crashless.
specifically, i used the command sudo pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/re2-1\:20201001-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst because i still had the package on cache from upgrading/downgrading it from time to time because of reasons. you may need to get it somewhere else, the version 20201001 is the one that works for me. i also think it reduces crashes in general a ton, but i havent really paid that much attention so that may be just a lie, idk
i dont think this is going to get a ton of visibility, but it is the best i can do, since this is the only place on the internet i have an account right now lol. if someone has this problem, tries this solution, and it works for them, it would be cool if someone managed to make a better version of this post and put it somewhere with more visibility
also btw im not even sure which wine version i am using right now but i think its the default one, not lutris not steam not any other
