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.

awake-maroon•3/20/23, 4:33 PM

can you share a log after trying to run a game? those logs don't show any game launch attempt

ordinary-sapphireOP•3/20/23, 5:02 PM

That's exactly what I'm saying

ordinary-sapphireOP•3/20/23, 5:02 PM

That is the log after launching the game

ordinary-sapphireOP•3/20/23, 5:02 PM

And that's what's bothering me about it too

ordinary-sapphireOP•3/20/23, 5:02 PM

It also says "Launching Dead By Daylight" but that's it

brilliant-lime•3/20/23, 5:27 PM

Read pinned support channel first

brilliant-lime•3/20/23, 5:28 PM

Then provide game logs not general logs

ordinary-sapphireOP•3/20/23, 5:42 PM

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.

ordinary-sapphireOP•3/20/23, 5:59 PM

It says it's starting the game but it's actually not.

brilliant-lime•3/20/23, 6:49 PM

And the game logs are empty ?

Bbrilliant-lime And the game logs are empty ?

ordinary-sapphireOP•3/20/23, 7:03 PM

That's true, because there's no game.

ordinary-sapphireOP•3/20/23, 7:04 PM

But be rest assured that there are so many instances of Heroic Running even when I close the launcher

brilliant-lime•3/20/23, 8:04 PM

Are you sure the game logs are empty? Do you have wine dependecies installed aswell vulkan drivers. Did you enabled system libs (not recommended)

dry-scarlet•3/20/23, 8:21 PM

even if the game fails to launch there is always a game log ime

dry-scarlet•3/20/23, 8:21 PM

go to the game page, click the "report a problem" is that log empty?

Ddry-scarlet even if the game fails to launch there is always a game log ime

ordinary-sapphireOP•3/21/23, 2:24 AM

the game doesnt fail to launch, it doesn't even get launched-

ordinary-sapphireOP•3/21/23, 2:24 AM

ordinary-sapphireOP•3/21/23, 2:26 AM

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.

ordinary-sapphireOP•3/21/23, 2:33 AM

I found a temporary fix:

I think it gets stuck after "Starting the Download Queue".

If i Ctrl+C it, then the game launches

ordinary-sapphireOP•3/21/23, 2:57 AM

This is where it doesn't respond anymore. Seems to be something system specific

I will blame your code in 3 years then why you are not using current standards...

wet-aqua•3/23/23, 9:43 PM

Yes

wet-aqua•3/23/23, 9:43 PM

Good idea

wet-aqua•3/23/23, 9:44 PM

But hopefully vulkan still exists in 3 years

brilliant-lime•3/24/23, 12:18 AM

Talking not about vulkan either want to show you not to complain about old code why they did it this way.

brilliant-lime•3/24/23, 12:19 AM

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

brilliant-lime•3/24/23, 12:23 AM

Just be nice and not rude in general

Bbrilliant-lime Just be nice and not rude in general

wet-aqua•3/24/23, 12:47 AM

I didn't realize I was being rude until yall pointed it out

brilliant-lime•3/24/23, 12:47 AM

In your github you where passive rude by complaining using clinfo

brilliant-lime•3/24/23, 12:48 AM

Instead just niceless saying that clinfo is not the way to use it currently
