Getting Strangers of Paradise to work
I'm a bit confused because I did this on NixOS, both desktop and laptop, but it worked on my laptop. Both should be 64-bit prefixes. I installed Heroic for this game, didn't mess with any configurations. Using ProtonGE7-42

prob best to post the full logs
graceful-beigeOP•3y ago
That's the full output from setup_dxvk.sh. This plus a DLL override fixed it for my friend who's on PopOS, as per a reddit post. As for the logs, sec

There's no actual error that I can see
rising-crimson•3y ago
yeah proton doesnt really provide any logs
tbh if you arent in a steam game (i assume since you are here you are not using a steam game haha), you should probably not be using it unless you have a very specific case that you know proton solves
otherwise sticking to wine-ge is the way to go
graceful-beigeOP•3y ago
It was the suggestion of the post ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Specifically recommended one of the 30-something versions of ProtonGE, but I think that was current at the time
I can try wine-ge
Oh wow, it's much smaller
rising-crimson•3y ago
the down side to wine-ge prefixes is that they usually are larger, if space is a concern
when you switch between the two its also best to clear out (or at least move to a back up) the old prefix
just so you have a clean slate
graceful-beigeOP•3y ago
Yeah, I was doing that as I swapped between 41-43
rising-crimson•3y ago
but at least this way wine-ge will give you a better log haha
(aka any log at all 🙃 )
graceful-beigeOP•3y ago
Hrmm.... now it's refusing to start
It recreated the prefix and everything
I purged the entire
Prefixes/<game>
folder
It crashes in about a second

post the game log

Aside from "game launched", the above was it
rising-crimson•3y ago
you didnt enable dxvk
also your GPU drivers arent reporting .. are you sure these are installed properly?
like mine look like this:
graceful-beigeOP•3y ago
Huh
I have a 6800XT, and I've played Star Citizen through Lutris, so... I would assume they're installed correctly
rising-crimson•3y ago
possibly haha i mean i guess you could run vkcube and find out
graceful-beigeOP•3y ago
Umm... is there a standalone executable for that? Or maybe it might be included in something else?
rising-crimson•3y ago
or vulkaninfo
i dont know what its packed with in nixos
they usually come with vulkan tools package in the os
graceful-beigeOP•3y ago
graceful-beigeOP•3y ago
That found my GPU
If this is a NixOS issue, I should be able to get around it by starting Heroic with Steam
Nevermind, there are dependencies that heroic needs and steam doesn't have
rising-crimson•3y ago
nod.. it seems vulkaninfo does see your gpu so maybe thats ok hah
sometimes those driver reports are weird
have you tried with dxvk/vkd3d enabled?
graceful-beigeOP•3y ago
Well, I still have the other issues
The kernel32.dll one
Recreating the prefix doesn't resolve that
Nevermind, I just had a weird issue where my console followed some files to the trash
Ok, got it working with WineGE
Err
Got it to the same failure point I was originally at
And I have logs!
graceful-beigeOP•3y ago
graceful-beigeOP•3y ago
blink blink "3 MB left" wat
I think that's false
Yeah, that was false
Oh, that's Discord
Oh, that spam must be from when I was changing the resolution
rising-crimson•3y ago
any reason you have WINEDLLOVERRIDES set?
graceful-beigeOP•3y ago
Was part of the instructions to get the game working from the reddit post
Let me get you that
rising-crimson•3y ago
have you tried it without?
im usually suspicious of random reddit posts haha
graceful-beigeOP•3y ago
shrug it's how my friend got it to work
Maybe it's not needed anymore
But since I couldn't get dxvk installed, I don't think that should matter?
rising-crimson•3y ago
thats the issue with those posts, things change pretty rapidly and they get out of date pretty quick
graceful-beigeOP•3y ago
It should fall back to whatever is available
rising-crimson•3y ago
if you were in proton, dxvk is in there by default btw
wined3d is kinda trash tho haha so if it worked it would be slow probably
graceful-beigeOP•3y ago
Keeps crashing now, even after recreating the prefix
Oh, "Use Dedicated Graphics" was off
I mean, shouldn't matter, I don't have an integrated graphics card
graceful-beigeOP•3y ago
I think that DLL override was still needed
graceful-beigeOP•3y ago
Added the override back, and it's working again
rising-crimson•3y ago
if you only have one card, dont enable use dedicated card 😛
was there a log with the env var removed?
graceful-beigeOP•3y ago
That's the last one I posted
rising-crimson•3y ago
the one with the override sure does like to go on repeating forever 🙃 im not sure thats better haha
graceful-beigeOP•3y ago
But at least that one starts
Just hangs on loading a save
rising-crimson•3y ago
is that save even there?
graceful-beigeOP•3y ago
Well, no idea, it's in a monolith save file, a database of multiple saves
Every time I have a fresh prefix, though, it's a fresh save. No cloud backup
I'm gonna try again tomorrow, kinda late here
stormy-gold•3y ago
Proton already ships dxvk.
If you want to handle dxvk by yourself use wine-ge
graceful-beigeOP•3y ago
I don't want to do anything but get this game working, and the only frame of reference I have of the game working is through the setup my friend went through.
I can't find anyone saying the game just worked for them, so I have been continuing to try the steps that that post suggested. No combination of individual steps or things suggested here have worked yet, so I'm continuing the permutations until something sticks
Until I can get better answers from my logs or a new suggestion from people who have more troubleshooting experience than I, I don't know what more I can do.

Post the guide here please

Another friend found reports that having a high res preset can create the issue. I'm only running at 5120x1440 (/s) but I can try lowering it
Doesn't appear to have worked
