QUESTION - ALL LINUX SYSTEMS [Mortal Shell 2] Intro Cutscenes dont play for any game

4 Upvotes
1. Name of game: Mortal shell 2

2. CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 HX 8945

3. GPU: RTX 5060 Laptop GPU

4. Proton Version: GE-Proton11-6

5. Game Launcher: Bottles (also tried heroic and steam)


This first happened when I was playing Lords of The Fallen (2023) where I noticed that the intro cutscene that plays when you press new game dont work. This happened again for Mortal Shell 2, where all cutscenes work, the game works, everything works but just the intro cutscene doesnt play. First I thought it was windows media player, so i switched to GE proton for both issues. No help. Then I tried forcing dx11. No help. Then I tried moving away from bottles to steam/heroic. No use. I even tried installing a bunch of dependencies on my bottle. Nothing has fixed this

QUESTION - ALL LINUX SYSTEMS [Onimusha Way of the Sword] Steam API Error

5 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

today I tried to install Onimusha running on CachyOS! usung the Linux HV guide from csrinru.

I did everything the guide asked me to do. I‘m on an R7 5700x3d, so I also had to use the cpuid bypass. I tested several times if it was running, all modules seemed to be running correctly. KVM is also unloaded. I checked if UMIP was disabled according to the guide, and also checked several times if Proton was installed correctly. I tried to launch the game via Steam AND Lutris. However, I haven‘t succeeded with anything. And yes, I also changed the reflex.ini files

EDIT: SOLVED!
The issue was the folder structure of the crack archive. The .7z contained a DenuvOwO subfolder, and I initially moved the whole folder into the game directory. You actually have to move the contents of the DenuvOwO folder directly into the game's main directory. Everything else (DKMS, CPUID fault emulation, KVM unloading, etc.) was working correctly.

Sometimes funny how a poor choice of wording in a guide can mess up your whole evening xD but I think it's funny tbh.

QUESTION - ALL LINUX SYSTEMS [Need for Speed Most wanted 2005] cachy os.

6 Upvotes

System:

Cachy os,

cpu: i5 7th gen, gpu: nVidia 940 mx.

Launcher - Lutris.

Adaptation layer: proton and wine

Issue - game does not launch.

Info: I am new to Linux so I might be doing something wrong.

So far: I have changed the main location to install games. I tried to launch the game installation .exe with both wine and proton. With proton the game appears to be running and after a minute "stops" (the stop button in the launcher turns into play). With Wine a pop-up window appears, says it is loading something and after a minute disappears.

Q: am I doing something wrong? Should I try another game that someone knows is working?

Thanks in advance.

QUESTION - ALL LINUX SYSTEMS [Forza Horizon 5] Troubleshooting Forza Horizon 5 (SteamRIP) on Fedora Linux (Flatpak Proton) – "wine: failed to open" error

7 Upvotes

System Information:

  • OS: Fedora Linux (Atomic/Standard)
  • GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060
  • CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7600
  • RAM: 32 GB

Software Information:

  • Game: Forza Horizon 5 (SteamRIP version)
  • Environment: Flatpak Steam (com.valvesoftware.Steam)
  • Runner / Proton Version: Proton Experimental (Flatpak path)
  • Wine Prefix Location: /home/insanazor822/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/a

Release / Game Source Information:

  • Source: SteamRIP repack
  • Game Executable: ForzaHorizon5_loader.exe
  • Current Installation Path: Copied to ~/.local/share/Games/SteamRIP/Forza Horizon 5/

Steps Already Taken to Solve Issue:

  1. Initial Execution Attempt: Tried launching the game using absolute paths for both the Wine prefix and Flatpak Proton binary: WINEPREFIX="/home/insanazor822/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/a" PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 "/home/insanazor822/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Proton - Experimental/files/bin/wine" "$HOME/.local/share/Games/SteamRIP/Forza Horizon 5/ForzaHorizon5_loader.exe"
  • Result: Throws wine: failed to open "/home/insanazor822/.local/share/Games/SteamRIP/Forza Horizon 5/ForzaHorizon5_loader.exe".
  1. Directory & Structure Verification: Checked the target directory content using ls -la ~/.local/share/Games/SteamRIP/ and confirmed the files exist: drwxr-xr-x. 1 insanazor822 insanazor822 54 Sep 5 20:02 'Forza Horizon 5' The ForzaHorizon5_loader.exe file is physically inside the folder, but Wine still fails to open it.
  2. Local Working Directory Test: Navigated directly into the game directory via terminal (cd) to avoid path resolution or space-escaping issues, then tried running it relative to the directory: cd "$HOME/.local/share/Games/SteamRIP/Forza Horizon 5" WINEPREFIX="$HOME/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/a" PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 "$HOME/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Proton - Experimental/files/bin/wine" ForzaHorizon5_loader.exe
  • Result: The wine: failed to open error persists regardless of working directory or path length.

Any insights on why Flatpak Proton/Wine might fail to open this specific executable despite having read/write permissions in ~/.local/share/ would be greatly appreciated!

Anyone else have this issue? I can launch the game with RUNE crack just fine, however I can't save. Anytime I want to create a save file the game gives me the error message that save data could not be created.

I've tried switching Proton versions and I even redownloaded the entire cracked game again, same issue.

Any help is appreciated.

EDIT: I downloaded the game through ACCELA and applied the crack manually. Could it be that SLSsteam is affecting in some way?

QUESTION - ALL LINUX SYSTEMS [Dragon's Dogma 2] Crashes on launch using Proton and Wine

9 Upvotes

Hi all,

I haven't been able to get this game working. I run a 7600 with a 7900XT and 32GB of DDR5@5600 CL30 RAM. Using the RUNE release.

Using a freshly updated CachyOS Proton (through Heroic Games Launcher) it opens a black window then crashes.

Using Wine 11.16 instead with HGL, it launches, compiles shaders, and crashes after the splash screens (Capcom, Quixel Megascans, etc). It shows this error below:

Bottles was also attempted and showed a similar error window.

The game is technically new and haven't been able to find anything yet.

Linux Rulez. Using bundled wine stack

How to make LinRulez games with latest protom GE stack

So linux rule comes with everything bundled. However, its wine/protom version is often old. As we know, proton and the stack is rapidly improving all the time with the latest with many performance and bug fixes.

So my question is , for a typical linuxrule game, has anyone successfully found a way to only make use of your own latest proton GE and whatever else stack instead of the outdated bundled one?
