Autodesk-Fusion-360-for-Linux: Crashes on splash screen *solved*

Well, FreeCAD is something i’m fine with for simple parts but anything slightly complex is hard. But it’s improving a lot lately and i’m hoping that it becomes better over time.

It also doesn’t help if a distro has system packages for certain things that might interfere or conflict with things that winetricks might add. In any case I’ve also had enough of this Autodesk BS and have been using SolidEdge Community more and more as I get to know it. (Only reason I still hang on to F360 is for things I haven’t figured out how to do yet. I guess this will be more motivation than any as the time spent messing around with F360 in wine is outweighing the time it takes to start up and shutdown a VM now - Fusion has lost the “convenience” factor. No “cloud”, once it’s installed, it’s installed, end of story. Also doesn’t phone home to the mother-ship. Graphics don’t seem as intensive as Fusion so it runs fine in a Win7 VM in Virtualbox Free for hobbyists/makers/tinkerers

(But even that’s a huge step forward, in Wine 5.x it would not even get past the splash screen. It installs and launches in Wine but there is a showstopper where it crashes if you try to open or create a document. Alas I’m not well versed enough in wine debugging to understand what it needs.

I’ve tried FreeCAD a few times but always found the interface a horrible mess and it’s a challenge to find out how to do anything when all the search results are out of date because things have been rearranged and not where it says they should be. I genuinely hope it improves and gets better but from my perspective it’s been a complete non-starter any time I’ve tried. — You are receiving this because you were mentioned.

I can confirm the latest install script works and Fusion launches now without issue. Though the object browser items seem to be stuck in the foreground and are currently on top of my chrome window.

Also something interesting @cryinkfly and @vintagepc I’ve found this script to work: https://gist.github.com/probonopd/0fab254aa0b6fc371d8db641822bd530#gistcomment-2799597

I followed the instructions and Fusion360 launched without a problem, on the same machine without any changes. Maybe it’s something with the winetricks installed? I’ve also tried this after attempting your install on my system so that might play a part.

So I am not as familiar with wine and verifying packages are installed, I tried just reinstalling both and get vcrun2019 already installed, skipping and corefonts already installed, skipping. I also verified that NMachineSpecificOptions.xml is set up.

I also tried setting up with dxvk but get the exact same issue.

I have also tried reinstalling graphics drivers and updating from 460 to 465. I am clearing out $HOME/.fusion360 between attempts, if I should be doing something else let me know. Other programs like steam proton/games work.

I’m struggeling with the same issue. I fixed it somehow a few days ago… but forgot how and where… so I’m back here, trying to figure out what’s wrong… pretty sure it was some missing winetricks lib or something like that…

KDE, this is with an nVidia GTX-1050 and proprietary drivers.

I’ve tried both the dxvk and opengl installation options and it makes no difference in the issue.
