Hello! I’m not sure if this problem is appropriate for this forum, but I don’t know where else to turn since a Google search didn’t help. I downloaded the game Spore (not the only game that had this problem) which uses Wine. When I launch I get this log:

========================================================================

Fedora KDE 40 / Nvidia graphics card (rtx 4070).
How can i solve this problem? I dont know which driver i should use as daily driver. Should i switch to nouveau or what? If yes, how? Thanks.

You should stay with the nvidia driver.
I cannot assist with the game, but it would certainly be difficult to switch to nouveau since as far as I can tell nouveau does not properly support the nvidia 4000 series gpus yet. As a minimum you would lose all hardware acceleration of graphics by switching back to nouveau, as well as other problems.

Remember that wine is not the same as using windows native. Steam may be able to run that game. Have you tried that instead of wine?

Unfortunately, I can’t find Spore in the list of games on Steam. Maybe there is no native support for it on Linux.

Steam does allow installing some non-steam games. Maybe spore is one of those.

Most likely not a native to linux game since you are trying to run it with wine.
