It works fine, I even downloaded all the plugins from my account. But when I try to save a patch or overwrite a template patch, VCV Rack closes without errors. I also don’t see any errors in the log file:
Can you use Linux version of VCV Rack v2.4.1, instead of Windows version over wine? (my question here is probably stupid).
I can’t help - I’m using Linux (Ubuntu - running inside VMware virtual machine) only to compile mine plugins (by using VCV Rack Plugin Toolchain), nothing else.
I don’t run Rack Linux version because vst or vst3 plugins don’t open in “host” / “host fx” racks ( But when I open Rack using wine - vst plugins work.
Have you tried yabridge? That would be a much better solution than running the whole of rack in wine. You will be able to use the VSTs in other daws/hosts as well then.
libarchive used by VCV Rack has some not-so-correct usage of Windows APIs that Wine does not expect, leading to crashes. (from what I understood some tar archive entries have invalid paths, which real Windows casually ignores but Wine does not)
