Kingdom Hearts 1.5+2.5 remix, Games wont launch
The launcher comes up but after picking a game it just reloads the launcher.

the launcher doesn't work. you have to specify an alternative exe in the Other section of Heroic's game settings to point to a specific game.
the longer explanation is that the launcher runs with DX11 while the games run with DX12. wine doesn't like this changeover

bruh wtf.
Also worth noting that this breaks the Theater option in KH1 and Back (to launcher) option on each game’s title screens. Either option results in an infinite loading screen. When you’re done playing, you should press ESC on the title screen (or pause screen) and choose Quit Game.
It's also worth pointing out that KH 358/2 Days, Re:coded, and χ Back Cover are included in the launcher, instead of using their own EXEs.harsh-harlequinOP•3y ago
I set a game exe and it launches to the main menu but after hitting new game and picking the settings it crashes.

@Lii The Baddie I finally got this to work today thanks to https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/tenneg/kingdom_hearts_1525_testing/i0qsp3q/
Essentially for some reason the directory EPIC in the KH directory needs to be renamed (possibly can just delete it but rename worked for me).

that folder contains the prerenderd cutscenes, renaming it makes it so the game cant find them and skips them
not really a fix if you actually want to see those
like-gold•3y ago
There is no fix otherwise. mf-install won’t provide support for the KH 1.5 pre-rendered cutscenes, unlike KH 3.
harsh-harlequinOP•3y ago
wont? as in they could but don't want to? ugh, there is no way to express how annoying this is without sounding entitled ._.

You are correct about the last part. mf-install is a package that installs video codecs taken straight from Windows. One does not choose to not work
It wouldn’t make sense for the script maker to specific exclude KH 1.5 for arbitrary reasons
In other words, the only way it’ll ever fully work in Linux is if Square makes a Steam release because then Valve will transcode the videos and add them to the shadercache
You’re welcome to prove me wrong, but my attempts to get KH 1.5’s cutscenes to work have failed
harsh-harlequinOP•3y ago
I'm still new to linux so I thought maybe they could get it working with some work but deemed it too much work to be worth it. what did SE do with these videos that they wont play even with the correct codecs,

If doing it this way, do i still get the see the cutscenes of kh 1?
like-gold•3y ago
Nope. That’s not gonna happen in Linux after my best attempts of trying
crude-lavender•3y ago
So there is no way to play any kh game with the cutscenes?

KH3 is playable with cutscenes

I'd love to play the pc ports but at this point I think emulation is the way to go for the earlier games
