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.

This is all you get for sideloaded games (not sure why game settings weren't included, but they're not)

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?

looks like it's also DX9, so you might need d3dcompiler_47 too
other-emerald
other-emeraldOP3y 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
fascinating-indigo3y ago
just _47 is fine if it's what is needed I don't know though. I'm just making a semi-educated guess

Game is still crashing. I remembered this folder now with components usually for windows. Should I run the setup with heroic?
No description
fascinating-indigo
fascinating-indigo3y ago
are those for the game specifically or is that just a pack of a random assortment of dependencies?
other-emerald
other-emeraldOP3y ago
Those files are in the their folder but should be for the game.
fascinating-indigo
fascinating-indigo3y ago
I think those are all the DirectX dependencies. you might actually need to run setup.exe if enabling DXVK isn't enough
other-emerald
other-emeraldOP3y ago
eh should I use this button or switch the exe and run it?
No description
other-emerald
other-emeraldOP3y ago
still the game crashes even after running that installer.
fascinating-indigo
fascinating-indigo3y ago
the xwm errors at the end - I have no idea
other-emerald
other-emeraldOP3y ago
could it be gamescope?
fascinating-indigo
fascinating-indigo3y ago
could be. not sure why you're manually specifying that
other-emerald
other-emeraldOP3y ago
specifying manually gamescope? I mean there is no button for it right? or rather a checkbox
fascinating-indigo
fascinating-indigo3y ago
right
other-emerald
other-emeraldOP3y 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
fascinating-indigo3y ago
it is probably the crash
other-emerald
other-emeraldOP3y 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
fascinating-indigo3y ago
yeah that one is also one I don't know well enough try running in X11?
other-emerald
other-emeraldOP3y ago
I am running in x11 its just gamescope creates a wayland session well never mind the game crashes without gamescope also
other-emerald
other-emeraldOP3y ago
at the end of the file there is nothing.
harsh-harlequin
harsh-harlequin3y 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-emerald
other-emeraldOP3y ago
both off still crashes
other-emerald
other-emeraldOP3y ago
here is the game settings config.
harsh-harlequin
harsh-harlequin3y ago
sorry, I mean the game settings in heroic, not the game internal settings
harsh-harlequin
harsh-harlequin3y 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
harsh-harlequin3y 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 hmmm
other-emerald
other-emeraldOP3y ago
Yeah thats what I did since the game isnt sold anywhere anymore.
harsh-harlequin
harsh-harlequin3y ago
wait, so you didn't buy the game?
other-emerald
other-emeraldOP3y 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
harsh-harlequin3y ago
oh ok
other-emerald
other-emeraldOP3y ago
I could provide the link from the source If its needed.
harsh-harlequin
harsh-harlequin3y 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-emerald
other-emeraldOP3y ago
it was never sold digitally tbh.
other-emerald
other-emeraldOP3y ago
At least from what I can see in pcgamingwiki.

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
fascinating-indigo3y 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-emerald
other-emeraldOP3y 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
fascinating-indigo3y 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-emerald
other-emeraldOP3y 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
fascinating-indigo3y ago
a copyright owner has the option to sell or not sell their work

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
fascinating-indigo3y ago
which of those did you not do before?
other-emerald
other-emeraldOP3y ago
the vcruntime 2005 libraries I think. not sure why
fascinating-indigo
fascinating-indigo3y ago
iirc, d3dx9 gets rolled into dxvk, which is installable via Heroic, but there's no real need to backtrack now
other-emerald
other-emeraldOP3y ago
Oh , i see. Is it an option or automatic?
fascinating-indigo
fascinating-indigo3y ago
it's an option when using Wine-GE
other-emerald
other-emeraldOP3y ago
ah right well just to be sure 🙂
