Hello everyone,
I'm a little new, literally just created this profile to ask for assistance since I am losing my mind trying to figure out this issue. If anyone could please assist, or at least guide me in the right direction, it would be much appreciated.
I purchased Poser 6 physical disc and was playing around with it for the past week. Now, I am getting an error message when it is attempting to open up.
Things I've done:
1.) ran sudo apt update and sudo apt upgrade on system, something I do every week never had an issue yet
2.) removed winehq-devel and instead installed wine-stable
3.) verified that mesa-utils and intel graphics drivers are up-to-date
4.) found an adjacent fix (the only thing regarding the error message when running a google search) about sketchup7, but I do not see Poser 6 or Curious Lab in .wine/drive_c/Windows/regedit.exe HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\
Has anyone had opengl issues like this before and can help with what I'm missing? Thank you much in advance.

~$ glxinfo|grep "OpenGL version"
OpenGL version string: 4.2 (Compatibility Profile) Mesa 23.2.1-1ubuntu3.1~22.04.2
~$ sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel
xserver-xorg-video-intel is already the newest version (2:2.99.917+git20210115-1).
I had also uninstalled and re-installed Poser 6 from disc, figuring it might be an issue with a setting I may have changed or config pointer. Still getting error on fresh install.

Update: I swapped drives and installed a fresh OS (Xubuntu LTd) and winehq-devel. Still receiving this error. Is anyone available to guide me in the right direction? Thank you.

Sorry, I no longer have Poser 6 and I'm not even sure what OS that is.
Available on Amazon for the Kindle E-Reader Monster of the North and The Shimmering Mage
Today I break my own personal record for the number of days for being alive.
Check out my store here or my free stuff here
I use Poser 13 and win 10

Best chance at a solution on that is probably to open a support ticket at https://support.posersoftware.com.
Even then, it is a very old version of Poser running on Windows emulation on Linux/Ubuntu, so not sure what's possible.
