Control ultimate edition launches and then just quits

I installed control ultimate edition through Heroic. This has worked fine in the past (different install though). Now it won't launch. The log is short, so I'll include it directly. Things I've tried so far: different versions of (GE) wine and (GE) Proton. Fsync + esync on and off. I get further when using wine instead of Proton, but the game crashes immediately after launching when using Wine. Log file from attempt with Proton launch:

And this is the log file from a Wine attempt. This at least contains an error

2049187585-lastPlay....

mass-ivory•3y ago

try using Wine-GE-Proton instead of GE-Proton also disable any extra setting like gamemode, the -skipStartScreen game argument, esync, fsync if it still fails share a new log

sunny-greenOP•3y ago

I have tried Wine-GE-Proton, it produces the same log as the Wine attempt I shared above (even though that one is a lutris wine). As you can see from both logs, I already have -skipStartScreen set.

sunny-greenOP•3y ago

This is from the attempt I just made, with wine-GE

2049187585-lastPlay....

mass-ivory•3y ago

I meant to remove the argument, not to add it the log should be different, if it's the same it's probably still using ge-proton instead of wine-ge-proton you can install wine-ge using the wine manager section inside heroic

sunny-greenOP•3y ago

I didn't mean literally the same. I meant that the crash/error is the same

mass-ivory•3y ago

did you follow the read me first instructions? can you confirm you have all the wine dependencies and up-to-date drivers?

sunny-greenOP•3y ago

I can I did a paru -Syu right at the start I also tried running with and without steam runtime. That didn't make any difference

mass-ivory•3y ago

I see you still have game mode enabled, try without that too

sunny-greenOP•3y ago

Still the same crash

mass-ivory•3y ago

I don't use arch and I don't have that game so I'm not sure what else to try, maybe somebody else knows

sunny-greenOP•3y ago

The weird thing is, it used to work (played it about a year ago, maybe it was on arch too, but I'm not sure).

rare-sapphire•3y ago

this is really odd try with -dx12 launch option and also make sure to install lib32-vulkan-radeon and update wine-ge

genetic-orange•3y ago

Don't use Wine-Lutris

sunny-greenOP•3y ago

wine-ge is fresh, I tried with the dx12 option first. All it changes is the exe that is crashing. I tried all versions of wine available to me on my system

sunny-greenOP•3y ago

sunny-greenOP•3y ago

lib32 radeon is installed

sunny-greenOP•3y ago

System wine is compiled from source from the AUR. So... I reinstalled the game, had heroic install it's latest version of wine-ge and now it works?

working config in case anyone bumps into this later differences from yesterday, newest system wine (which I am not using here) and newer kernel (patch version bump)

genetic-orange•3y ago

You’re also not using Wine-Lutris in your successful attempt

sunny-greenOP•3y ago

I haven't posted logs from every test I did but I definitely tested without lutris wine
