Apps won't run all of a sudden

As of this morning, none of the apps in any of my bottles will run (Office 2010 and 365).
Was working fine last night, but today ... nothing.

I ran /opt/cxoffice/bin/cxfix --auto
Distribution: Ubuntu 64-bit (ubuntu)
Product: cx22
There is no issue to fix

I ran diagnostics: /opt/cxoffice/bin/cxdiag

I ran apps with logging turned on

I see a bunch of complaints for missing libraries but cxfix says it can't fix them automatically, plus it's been working fine until this morning.
I wonder if something else updated last night and has broken compatibility? How can I tell so I can go back to working version.

Help, I need this for work, and right now I'm dead in the water.

Just a thought but if you are using timeshift on your system you could go back to a previous backup snapshot and then try your apps from there.

That's a great idea -- unfortunately not running timeshift, although I will in future.
Thanks

Tried reinstalling crossover to see if that would help.
dpkg -i crossover_22.1.1-1.deb

/opt/cxoffice/bin/cxfix --auto
Distribution: Ubuntu 64-bit (ubuntu)
Product: cx22
There is no issue to fix

But if I try to run crossover from the commandline I get

/opt/cxoffice/bin/crossover
<frozen importlib._bootstrap>:673: ImportWarning: DynamicImporter.exec_module() not found; falling back to load_module()
Failed to register: Timeout was reached

So now Crossover won't even run.

Hmmm, just upgraded to 23 and similar problem appear (Fedora 38). I can not run anything from CX and I got no error message or anything like it, but everything was OK before upgrade (22.1.1)

Tired cxfix, but it informs me there is no error to fix.

Quick look at log from one of applications shows:

`***** Wed Aug 16 19:05:57 2023

...

`

And there is also some errors like:

`cxnativeopen:error: '.com' does not exist
cxnativeopen:error: try 'cxnativeopen --help' for more information

***** Wed Aug 16 19:05:58 2023
Starting: '/opt/cxoffice/bin/cxnativeopen' '--background' '.com'`

Sorry to reply to own message, but as quick/dirty solution anyone with similar problem can try to replace /opt/cxoffice/bin/wine script with old one (from 22.1.1) This probably broke a few things, but allows me to start my applications until proper fix.
