Solution to some Issues with OpenGL with nvidia graphic cards

I had a hard time trying to get office 365 and office 2013 to work on my KDE Neon (deb-based distro with KDE).
The same issues may arise on several different deb-based distros, including Ubuntu.
The problem was hardly definable: office would install, but would hang forever at splash, or crash, when started. This was not the usual issue with registration or so. This was a completely different issue. A bad one.
Turned out, after a conversation with the Support, guys, that it was an issue with OpenGL. Pretty clear from the beginning, indeed, if I only bothered to read the warning during the office 365 installation early stages: crossover clearly stated that OpenGL was not working and that this would lead to issues with some games... well we can discuss whether office 365 is just a toy or not, but, wow, I could never imagine that it would need OpenGL to run!
Anyway, the problem was that the nvidia repositories install a version of the libraries that is not compatible with the opengl 32 bit libraries needed to run office365 under crossover. As a consequence, I had to remove all nvidia stuff from my pc and re-install everything from the scratch, following a specific order and from specific sources. The inspiration comes from this LINK

I also had CUDA and CUDNN installed, so had to remove and re-install them. If you do not need them or do not know what they are, just disregard their (re-)installation.

I hope this can help.

Hi,

I had a similar issue with previous versions of Epic Games store. Did you try using DXVK ? Sometimes it fixes some of these problems

Currently everything is ok. After fixing the issue with the nvidia drivers, the problems with opengl disappeared and office is working perfectly
