Spider-Man Web Of Shadows Error in menu screen
I was able to run this game before, no idea why now this is happening.
Game Issue:
Game crashes instantly the moment I press start. I have attached two screenshots and the log.

and the log file

please include the complete game log, including the configuration information at the top
This is all you get for sideloaded games (not sure why game settings weren't included, but they're not)
fascinating-indigo•3y ago
TIL, thanks
also, doing a brief search on this revealed that you just need to install .net 3.5 via winetricks

oh yeah right I forgot about that one. I did install it but now it get an error from gamescope?
fascinating-indigo•3y ago
don't use Lutris-wine. use Wine-GE
other-emeraldOP•3y ago
switched to this version and installed dotnet35 now the game instant crashes doesnt show any error

looks like it's also DX9, so you might need d3dcompiler_47 too
other-emeraldOP•3y ago
strangely the game started with wined3d. I am gonna add it now.
warning: Your version of wine 5.12-15444-g4e185de7bec is no longer supported upstream. You should upgrade to 6.x
I also get this warning during winetricks
I added d3dcompiler_47
do I need to add a dx9 component as well? For some reason game runs with wined3d now.fascinating-indigo•3y ago
just _47 is fine if it's what is needed
I don't know though. I'm just making a semi-educated guess
other-emeraldOP•3y ago
Game is still crashing. I remembered this folder now with components usually for windows. Should I run the setup with heroic?

fascinating-indigo•3y ago
are those for the game specifically or is that just a pack of a random assortment of dependencies?
other-emeraldOP•3y ago
Those files are in the their folder but should be for the game.
fascinating-indigo•3y ago
I think those are all the DirectX dependencies. you might actually need to run setup.exe if enabling DXVK isn't enough
other-emeraldOP•3y ago
eh should I use this button or switch the exe and run it?

other-emeraldOP•3y ago
still the game crashes even after running that installer.
fascinating-indigo•3y ago
the xwm errors at the end - I have no idea
other-emeraldOP•3y ago
could it be gamescope?
fascinating-indigo•3y ago
could be. not sure why you're manually specifying that
other-emeraldOP•3y ago
specifying manually gamescope? I mean there is no button for it right?
or rather a checkbox
fascinating-indigo•3y ago
right
other-emeraldOP•3y ago
Hmm, I went to find the configuration file of the game and saw this log.txt file. Not sure if it has anything to do with the crash.
fascinating-indigo•3y ago
it is probably the crash
other-emeraldOP•3y ago
I got rid of the xwm errors by editing the configuration file. The crash still persists and at the of the log file is only this
(EE) failed to read Wayland events: Broken pipe
fascinating-indigo•3y ago
yeah that one is also one I don't know well enough
try running in X11?
other-emeraldOP•3y ago
I am running in x11
its just gamescope creates a wayland session
well never mind the game crashes without gamescope also
other-emeraldOP•3y ago
at the end of the file there is nothing.
harsh-harlequin•3y ago
can you disable mongohud and gamemode too? just to discard things
the log looks incomplete though, we usually have more information like your game settings
other-emeraldOP•3y ago
both off still crashes
other-emeraldOP•3y ago
here is the game settings config.
harsh-harlequin•3y ago
sorry, I mean the game settings in heroic, not the game internal settings
harsh-harlequin•3y ago
a typical game log file in heroic should look like this, showing some system information, the game settings, the launch command and then the game logs, your log looks really different
harsh-harlequin•3y ago
oh sorry, I think you added the game with the
Add Game
feature so I think it doesn't show all that info at the top hmmmother-emeraldOP•3y ago
Yeah thats what I did since the game isnt sold anywhere anymore.
harsh-harlequin•3y ago
wait, so you didn't buy the game?
other-emeraldOP•3y ago
I still have a physical copy of it but since I dont have a cd-rom to install it.... I downloaded the game.
harsh-harlequin•3y ago
oh ok
other-emeraldOP•3y ago
I could provide the link from the source If its needed.
harsh-harlequin•3y ago
the issue is, it's a gray area cause you own a physical copy but not a digital one, we can't really help with pirated copies in the server, it goes against discord terms of use I think if I'm correct
other-emeraldOP•3y ago
it was never sold digitally tbh.
other-emeraldOP•3y ago
At least from what I can see in pcgamingwiki.

harsh-harlequin•3y ago
we don't really do anything special inside heroic for games added with add game, we just tell wine to run them, maybe something got updated on your system? have you tried older wine versions? some games don't work with the latest wine versions, also try with wine stating
you may need to reinstall dotnet in some cases, but that's the only thing I can think
fascinating-indigo•3y ago
This is correct. Downloading a copy that you didn’t make yourself, even if you own a physical copy, is obtaining/making an unauthorized copy (at least in the US).
other-emeraldOP•3y ago
Hmmm, I can agree. But abandon games should not be illegal right? Well we can leave the issue unresolved, don't wanna raise any problems with ToS.
fascinating-indigo•3y ago
(IANYL) strictly speaking, abandonware is not a legally recognized concept. a video game's copyright will not expire within your lifetime, unless it is expressly abandoned under the legal definition of the word.
other-emeraldOP•3y ago
Right but since the game is not being sold any more? Let alone digitally. So I will probably have to get an external cd rom. 😩
fascinating-indigo•3y ago
a copyright owner has the option to sell or not sell their work
other-emeraldOP•3y ago
Turns out I fixed the issue in the end.
- reinstall the game
- new prefix
- Wine-GE-Proton7-34
- winetricks, I added dxvk, d3dcompiler_47, d3dx9, dotnet 35 (required for the launcher only), vcruntime 2005 libraries, mfc80 part of vcruntime.
- game works with game mode, gamescope, mangohud
fascinating-indigo•3y ago
which of those did you not do before?
other-emeraldOP•3y ago
the vcruntime 2005 libraries I think.
not sure why
fascinating-indigo•3y ago
iirc, d3dx9 gets rolled into dxvk, which is installable via Heroic, but there's no real need to backtrack now
other-emeraldOP•3y ago
Oh , i see. Is it an option or automatic?
fascinating-indigo•3y ago
it's an option when using Wine-GE
other-emeraldOP•3y ago
ah right well just to be sure 🙂
