Games are just not launching
I reinstalled the launcher, logged in and out several times, reinstalled again, compiled it from source, restarted. It worked yesterday, after the latest arch update it didn't anymore. I am running arch on 6.2.7-zen (latest). Updated today.

can you share a log after trying to run a game? those logs don't show any game launch attempt
adverse-sapphireOP•3y ago
That's exactly what I'm saying
That is the log after launching the game
And that's what's bothering me about it too
It also says "Launching Dead By Daylight" but that's it
adverse-sapphire•3y ago
Read pinned support channel first
Then provide game logs not general logs
adverse-sapphireOP•3y ago
I read the pinned support channel. There's no game starting, therefore there's no game logs i can provide. Launching Dead by Daylight doesn't start dead by daylight afterwards. Launching it from legendary directly runs the game.
It says it's starting the game but it's actually not.

And the game logs are empty ?
adverse-sapphireOP•3y ago
That's true, because there's no game.
adverse-sapphireOP•3y ago
But be rest assured that there are so many instances of Heroic Running even when I close the launcher
adverse-sapphire•3y ago
Are you sure the game logs are empty? Do you have wine dependecies installed aswell vulkan drivers. Did you enabled system libs (not recommended)

even if the game fails to launch there is always a game log ime
go to the game page, click the "report a problem" is that log empty?
adverse-sapphireOP•3y ago
the game doesnt fail to launch, it doesn't even get launched-

that's the reason i believe its an issue with the launcher. i don't get any output from it that might hint as to why it doesn't. I believe its stuck in some promise and tries to resolve something without sending a previous log message for that. It might also be a legendary issue, but launching the game manually with legendary like stated before, works perfectly fine.

I found a temporary fix:
I think it gets stuck after "Starting the Download Queue".
If i Ctrl+C it, then the game launches
adverse-sapphireOP•3y ago
This is where it doesn't respond anymore. Seems to be something system specific

if there's anything wrong with it, just tell me what.
adverse-sapphireOP•3y ago
Two hours of debugging later and some coding and we're up and running again. Linux really makes you feel like you deserve playing a game lol

i went in depth with what i found out through debugging in the issue and opened a pr with the fix that worked for me. If you guys want to approach the issue differently feel free to

why the actual hell were they using clinfo
sometimes people man
vulkaninfo litterally outputs a json
like you can't get something better
you litterally cant
actual dumpster fire code right there
judicial-coral•3y ago
@OOOOOF123 you don't have to bash on other people's code, they probably did what they could with the information and skills they had and it served us totally fine for years, saying some code is a dumpster fire or that some choice is a terrible idea is just useless comment
eastern-cyan•3y ago
ok accidently used slightly harsh language on github
but yeah ur right
it's moments like these that make me think I have asperger's or something 😅
adverse-sapphire•3y ago
I will blame your code in 3 years then why you are not using current standards...
eastern-cyan•3y ago
Yes 🐸
Good idea
But hopefully vulkan still exists in 3 years
adverse-sapphire•3y ago
Talking not about vulkan either want to show you not to complain about old code why they did it this way.
So maybe someone comes in 3 years see you added some code in heroic and complain about it, because it does not follow 2 weeks standards
Just be nice and not rude in general
eastern-cyan•3y ago
I didn't realize I was being rude until yall pointed it out 🐸
adverse-sapphire•3y ago
In your github you where passive rude by complaining using clinfo
Instead just niceless saying that clinfo is not the way to use it currently
harsh-harlequin•3y ago
i am facing the same problem with my fallout 3
adverse-sapphireOP•3y ago
i also didnt realize
to me your reaction just seemed childish and naive.
adverse-sapphire•3y ago
Yes maybe rude is the wrong word but saying clinfo was a bad idea is not a nice way to tell people to fix something. How long does the package exist? When was the desicion made to use clinfo and was it as this time a bad idea or just the best and current way ?
