# Wine on KDE Plasma Wayland

ArrowVortex’s **File → Open** dialog does not appear when the Windows build is run under Wine on KDE Plasma with a Wayland session. `WINEDEBUG` traces on `commdlg` showed `GetOpenFileNameW` being entered with plausible flags and `COMDLG32_SetCommDlgExtendedError(0)` cleared, but no usable dialog followed—consistent with Wine’s graphics stack (notably **winewayland**) failing to host the legacy common-file-dialog UI on this compositor. We tried **unsetting `WAYLAND_DISPLAY`** in the launcher so Wine would prefer Xwayland; that did not fix it for us. We searched **nixpkgs** for similar Wine workarounds and found no comparable pattern (only unrelated apps, e.g. Qt wrappers forcing X11). In the package we then added a **one-shot `wine reg add`** to set `HKCU\Software\Wine\Drivers` → `Graphics` = `x11` (pin **winex11.drv**), plus `WINEDLLOVERRIDES` to skip Mono/Gecko prompts, and stepped the Wine build through **`wineWow64Packages.stagingFull`** and **`unstableFull`**. None of that produced a reliable File → Open on Plasma Wayland here, so this path is abandoned for now; anyone retrying later should use a **fresh `WINEPREFIX`** after changing Wine version or registry forcing, and may want to log with `WINEDEBUG=+x11drv,+wayland,+commdlg` to see which driver actually loads.
