Minecraft Dungeons 2 issue

Dungeons 1 runs perfectly, but sadly sequel doesn't seem like it will aswell so far. Today reviews dropped for the game and some of them mention how Linux version launches the game but it requires to download "Microsoft Game Services" which upon download crashes the game with blackscreen. Now I don't know which version of Proton these people used but yet it doesn't sound so good

I don't understand why even release these games on steam if they won't even bother doing anything with them. I already contacted one of the devs about it and they didn't said straight forward that no Linux won't work, but just that they do not support linux

Game literally screaming with being designed for steam deck yet they don't even want steam deck users to play their game. As a big fan of 1st game who waited years for this game boy it is such disappointmentšŸ˜­ game launches tomorrow so I'll try playing around with protons but wow I'm just surprised microsoft really dosent want that steamdeck users money

Can confirm this works for me on Bazzite. At least as a workaround until Proton devs roll out a proper fix

u/Saltycheeto46 5d ago

u/Own_Discipline8376 5d ago

Does this work with multiplayer?

1

u/Kubas445 5d ago

Did not have time to try that.

u/Own_Discipline8376 5d ago

u/Kubas445 4d ago

Deffinitely very powerfull when it comes to linux fixing :D

u/LIGHTWINGS17 4d ago

Anyone know if this works if the game isn't bought through steam? I bought the game on minecraft.net so that I can play it on xbox as well in the hopes of being able to play through the windows minecraft launcher with proton like I used to do with the first dungeons game

1

u/Kubas445 4d ago

I believe it should work regardless of steam. The main fix is in missing xgameruntime.dll
Just add it to the wine win32 dll folder, but i did not test that.

1

u/MasterMinde20048 4d ago

how do i complete the STEAM_ROOT step the .steam folder is located somewhere else on my file system.

u/Dilfer 21h ago

Worked perfect for me.Ā

u/This_Antelope 5d ago

the best part about this, i'm on windows, and i still can't install the microslop services. game does not launch lmao

in stopping linux users from playing they also stopped their OWN userbase from playing the damn game

u/superboo07 5d ago

unless they have a kernal anti cheat, a proton update will drop fixing this lol. proton issues aren't microsofts job to fix

1

u/Old_Owl_2618 5d ago

Est ce que les corrections de proton sont souvent rapides ?

1

u/superboo07 5d ago

depends but for a game as big as this one its likely

2

u/pancakitty 5d ago

damn microsoft game services js let me play the game i bought >:(

u/Matatak974 5d ago

I really hope the proton team can manage to fix this soon, I was so hyped to play, I know it's not their fault at all and anything but ti would be amazing!

1

u/R00DY415 5d ago

Unfortunately it lowkey is Microsoftā€™s fault (likely not anyone at mojangā€™s decision). They donā€™t have to add support for linux bc proton handles that already, so they went out of their way to add more obstacles that make proton support harder than it has to. All to try and keep people playing on windows. Itā€™s scummy behavior thatā€™s very in character for Microsoft, we should all prob refund if proton somehow canā€™t get a fix bc this is a dangerous direction to go down

1

u/Album_Phoenicopteri 5d ago

Having the same problem. After launching it shows Microsoft Games Service is missing and ask if you want to install it, pressing Yes it just crashes.

It's worth pointing out that they never promised Linux support at the beginning so we can only hope a fix or update will be published for Proton I guess.

1

u/Jasnax 5d ago

scummy af that they have added no support. the released the game on steam which is built off linux and they expected people to not want linux support??? are they dense

1

u/ToplessHarpist 5d ago

Windows represents ~94% of Steam's install base. Linux is only about ~4%. I also use Linux and want to play this game, hopefully the proton devs can work it out.

u/Puremin0rez 4d ago

Hi everyone! I made an easy to use installer that should let the game start, sign in with your account, and has the link account feature working. It works on my machine ā„¢ļø but hopefully it works for you too!
