BG3 on steamdeck requests .net

So... I have BG3 on GoG and I have a steamdeck. When I launch it in deck mode, it brings up a window talking about needing .net. When I do the same in desktop mode, it does the same ... but then brings up my browser downloading the .net installer. Help?

use winetricks

sacred-rose•8/4/23, 7:44 PM

and install dotnet desktop runtime 6

hurt-tomatoOP•8/4/23, 8:07 PM

so ... gimme a bit more --- not that I don't know individually what these might be, but do I use the Heroic interface to do this? ... or just on the deck desktop? I think I remember winetricks in Heroic ... but do I need that also installed on the desktop? etc.

sacred-rose•8/4/23, 8:29 PM

It's option inside heroic. It can be both from desktop and game mode ( but doing it from game is bit finicky)

sacred-rose•8/4/23, 8:30 PM

inside game page settings you find this button:

sacred-rose•8/4/23, 8:30 PM

sacred-rose•8/4/23, 8:31 PM

in new window you sroll down to the bottom and find winetricks:

sacred-rose•8/4/23, 8:31 PM

sacred-rose•8/4/23, 8:32 PM

new window with many options will pop up:

sacred-rose•8/4/23, 8:33 PM

sacred-rose•8/4/23, 8:34 PM

you select "Select the default wineprefix"->"Install a Windows DLL or component"

sacred-rose•8/4/23, 8:35 PM

And from the list of component you select:

sacred-rose•8/4/23, 8:35 PM

sacred-rose•8/4/23, 8:37 PM

once installation finishes you can close this window and game should work

so which version of wine/proton should I be doing this with? Didn't work with proton8, for instance.

dry-scarlet•8/5/23, 12:52 AM

use latest wine-ge

dry-scarlet•8/5/23, 12:52 AM

from heroic wine manager

dry-scarlet•8/5/23, 12:52 AM

proton is meant to be run on games from the steam store, where the steam runtime is available and provides various features

dry-scarlet•8/5/23, 12:53 AM

since you are not using a game from steam, wine-ge is the go to, it has all the same patches as proton-ge

hurt-tomatoOP•8/5/23, 3:43 AM

So... tried with latest wine-ge and with wine-ge-proton8-13

hurt-tomatoOP•8/5/23, 3:43 AM

... when I press the wine tricks button, it opens a window that then closes and does nothing else (whereas with the protons I was using, the window opened and I could do stuff).

hurt-tomatoOP•8/5/23, 3:51 AM

although I am watching the wine-ge-download again --- and it doesn't get above 30% or so before stopping and going to unzipping --- so are we having trouble downloading wine-ge ... is there a way a can get a better download?

hurt-tomatoOP•8/5/23, 3:53 AM

going through settings 'n stuff. What is the "EOS" overlay?

hurt-tomatoOP•8/5/23, 4:10 AM

Looking at the log, I get 2 INFO: entires from [WineDownloader] ... Start and Finished. No mention of an error --- even though it only got to 20% in this instance.

hurt-tomatoOP•8/5/23, 4:10 AM

Maybe wait until I get up for a bathroom break in the middle of the night ... and see if the CDN is free enough then?

radical-lime•8/5/23, 3:02 PM

for dotNet you also have installer already downloaded by Heroic, in

__redist

__redist

directory in game dir

radical-lime•8/5/23, 3:02 PM

you can use Run in Prefix in game settings to run it

hurt-tomatoOP•8/6/23, 8:24 PM

I'm still somewhat concerned that wine-GE doesn't seem to be running for me at all.

radical-lime•8/6/23, 10:36 PM

yes, you most likely need proton hotfix or experimental

radical-lime•8/6/23, 10:36 PM

and install dotnetdesktop6

radical-lime•8/6/23, 10:37 PM

from winetricks or shipped with game in

__redist

__redist

hurt-tomatoOP•8/7/23, 3:52 AM

OK... so when I do the above --- to say install latest-GE, I watched it get to 97%-ish before it stopped. Then I go to launch winetricks, and the window just opens and closes.

hurt-tomatoOP•8/7/23, 3:59 AM

the following is the error that generates in the log:

hurt-tomatoOP•8/7/23, 3:59 AM

I just was futzing with this and I noticed that bg3 was asking for 6.0.18 and the redist directory has 6.0.11.

hurt-tomatoOP•8/8/23, 5:23 AM

The winetricks method has .18, but it always fails to install with an error.

This worked for me

Download the dot net sdk for Windows and x64 CPUs manually. This link should work now:https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/thank-you/sdk-6.0.412-windows-x64-installer
Drag the exe from your download folder on that button "run exe on prefix"
This starts the dot net installer, you click "next" when it asks, let it finish and then you can start the game.

And yeah, that's the full sdk, not just the runtime..
For some reason I needed the full sdk, installing only the runtime failed.

Microsoft

Download .NET 6.0 SDK (v6.0.412) - Windows x64 Installer

colossal-harlequin•8/8/23, 2:36 PM

I fixed the link, I had the wrong sdk linked at first

colossal-harlequin•8/8/23, 2:53 PM

And the full sdk isn't huge, luckily, it's 200 MB compared to the runtime only download being like... 70 MB?

hurt-tomatoOP•8/12/23, 4:41 AM

I'm kinda reachimg rope's end here. I'm on my deck now. I downloaded that file and running it with some versions of proton briefly flashes a window, but mostly nothing.

hurt-tomatoOP•8/12/23, 4:46 AM

Here"s the Heroic log ... although it just says that it ran the installer... https://nextcloud.towernet.ca/s/qmYJLxrXb3XdAX6

I'm seriously wondering if any of the wine things are running under heroic. I installed Control under epic to see if that worked. It gave the following error...

hurt-tomatoOP•8/12/23, 6:10 PM

wet-aqua•8/13/23, 1:56 AM

your prefix is corrupt

hurt-tomatoOP•8/13/23, 4:35 AM

ok... so reinstall heroic?

hurt-tomatoOP•8/13/23, 4:35 AM

or ... ?

dry-scarlet•8/13/23, 4:41 AM

no you can just delete the prefix if you dont have any save games you want to keep

dry-scarlet•8/13/23, 4:42 AM

also this log is the heroic log,not the game log

dry-scarlet•8/13/23, 4:43 AM

read 🆘-supportRead Me First | Frequently Asked Questions for instructions

hurt-tomatoOP•8/13/23, 4:50 AM

ok... scanning that, does the flatpak not take care of the "wine dependancies" ?
