Atlantis II Beyond Atlantis
I am trying to install this old game from GOG to my Steamdeck. Simply nothing happens and I have NO idea where to start with the tweaking. ProtonDB says this should work but no words from the GOG version. What should I do? Where do I start? Thanks and sorry for being a newbie

What does not work? Installing or starting?
extended-salmon•3y ago
see the pinned post about getting logs
rare-sapphireOP•3y ago
my log
rare-sapphireOP•3y ago
extended-salmon•3y ago
looks like the game is installed and attempted to be run. get the game log instead
rare-sapphireOP•3y ago
there it is

disable Prefer System Libraries. remove the alternative exe
rare-sapphireOP•3y ago
rare-sapphireOP•3y ago
steam is running
what next?
xenial-black•3y ago
you didn't disable the
Prefer System Libraries, also use Wine-GE-Proton7-34, it shows better logs, only use Proton-GE if Wine-GE doesn't work
you should delete the prefix folder when you change from Proton-GE to Wine-GE, they use a different file structure for the prefixconscious-sapphire•3y ago
You also need only dxvk. Game is directX9
conscious-sapphire•3y ago
rare-sapphireOP•3y ago
ok!
from the settings?
conscious-sapphire•3y ago
yes gamesettings
And you need wine-ge
as ariel mentioned
rare-sapphireOP•3y ago
And I manually delete the prefix folder?
xenial-black•3y ago
yes, you have to delete it manually, heroic will create a new one when you launch the game again
rare-sapphireOP•3y ago
new one

Can you set windows version to 98 via winecfg ?
rare-sapphireOP•3y ago
Let me try that 🙂
I can only do XP or >
I'll try XP
conscious-sapphire•3y ago
The game is so old. Could be missing dlls
No clue which
rare-sapphireOP•3y ago
Shouldn't the logs help with that? Yeah it is old... I mean.. gOg ^^"

The only gog vversion report was on wine 1.x

Can you disable all fps limiter
dxvk and steam limiter
rare-sapphireOP•3y ago
I had only dxvk on, but no fps limiter. I don't know what steam limiter is
conscious-sapphire•3y ago
you have dxvkfps set to 60 acording to logs
steam deck provides to set fps in gamemode
btw do you try to run the game in desktop mode ?
rare-sapphireOP•3y ago
I am only trying desktop mode
how would I find this setting? I can't see it in the game setting
conscious-sapphire•3y ago
conscious-sapphire•3y ago
you set this
rare-sapphireOP•3y ago
it's unchecked just like you show
is there somewhere else overwriting this?
conscious-sapphire•3y ago
are you on game settings ?
rare-sapphireOP•3y ago
Yes
conscious-sapphire•3y ago
just toggle once
on/off
rare-sapphireOP•3y ago
ok
it was set to 60 when I briefly turned it on
I deleted it and then toggled it off
conscious-sapphire•3y ago
what you can also try is to run it without dxvk
rare-sapphireOP•3y ago
conscious-sapphire•3y ago
I think there are some extra dlls needed via winetricks but i don't know which
rare-sapphireOP•3y ago
this is now without dxvk and no limiter (I THINK)
is there somewhere online where I can get that info?
conscious-sapphire•3y ago
There is no info in the internet
rare-sapphireOP•3y ago
I guess nobody likes this game except me LOL

@Linguin is this probably a game for dosbox? I have no experience with old gog games from 1999
ratty-blush•3y ago
it's not
rare-sapphireOP•3y ago
Would I get better chances if I bought it through Steam? Would Proton be able to do something on my Steam Deck?
extended-salmon•3y ago
Generally the answer to the first question is yes. In this case though, try using a much older version of Proton/Wine that lines up with Proton 5
rare-sapphireOP•3y ago
How can I pick that? Through Steam or Heoric?
extended-salmon•3y ago
Heroic. Find out what version of Wine-GE aligns with the version of proton identified in the ProtonDB post
ratty-blush•3y ago
try using offline installers and install it using Heroic's add game feature
if it works it's a issue on our side
probably
setup relatedrare-sapphireOP•3y ago
that would be hard to find :/
extended-salmon•3y ago
Isn’t the offline installer downloadable from GOG.com?
ratty-blush•3y ago
it is
https://gog.com/account
rare-sapphireOP•3y ago
ohhhh
the two parts and the patch
ok I'll get those!
Installing it now
It is working!!!
ratty-blush•3y ago
then it's heroic's fault
could you send the .script file from game directory?
rare-sapphireOP•3y ago
from the installed directory?
(gimme a few mins now, I want to see if it is actually all playable but it is promising!!!)
Ok so one more thing.
I did the Add Game and it is added onto Steam Game mode no problem. But I can't see it on Heroic
I gave it a stupid name so I guess I'll have to remove it from Steam and re-add it through Heroic
is there a way to add the metadate to the added launch?
What is exactly the script you'd like? I can't see any .script file in the pfx folder
conscious-sapphire•3y ago
It is in the game install directory not the prefix
rare-sapphireOP•3y ago
Have patience with me. The install directory is in the prefix… I mean, the launcher is in the drive_c folder in the prefix unless I’m confusing it all
ratty-blush•3y ago
yes, probably in
GOG Games directoryrare-sapphireOP•3y ago
Wait. I’ll see what is the file name that steam is launching and copy that one
I can’t see any .script on the folder. Just the windows exe
ratty-blush•3y ago
should be
goggame-1207658951.scriptrare-sapphireOP•3y ago
Oh found it
Sorry
ratty-blush•3y ago
just send it here, we'll look into it
rare-sapphireOP•3y ago
2 sec
ratty-blush•3y ago
no rush
rare-sapphireOP•3y ago
there you gog... sorry 🤣
ratty-blush•3y ago
thank you
interesting case, I wonder why it failed
rare-sapphireOP•3y ago

I might try this method for other games too. Good to know
thanks folks
