[Solved] Fall Guys no longer works after new update, missing files error.
Fall guys was working fine before the newest update. I had to do the method where you delete the prefix, run the EpicOnlineServicesInstaller.exe file, delete one of the exes in the prefix, run the game, restore it, and cancel the second epic games download. With some finnicking I managed to make it stick too, so I didn't need to hit cancel every time. After updating, though, it's almost completely broken. I can sometimes make it work with the above method, but even if it does it immediately breaks on next startup and i need to do the entire thing again. I haven't even gotten that far in the past few hours. Is there a workaround for this? It's impossible to play the game because of this issue, and nothing I've tried has worked at all.

Should add that no wine or proton version makes a difference

Add this environment variable
DOTNET_BUNDLE_EXTRACT_DIR=""
extended-salmon•2y ago
where do i put that
fair-rose•2y ago
also delete your prefix after you set that
extended-salmon•2y ago
I have tried other solutions that also asked to delete the prefix, after deleting it heroic does not start and I have to reinstall it
fair-rose•2y ago
what?
you are definetly deleting the wrong thing
fair-rose•2y ago
you put it right here
fair-rose•2y ago
litterally says enviornment variables
extended-salmon•2y ago
ok xd
now i try it i am (re)installing fall guys
fair-rose•2y ago
all those guides you see online work for most systems
it's just they are missing this one variable, because dotnet sdk sets random variables without user consent or notice
so yeah blame microsoft for this one

fair-rose•2y ago
this is with DOTNET_BUNDLE_EXTRACT_DIR=""
and deleting prefix
sharp-indigoOP•2y ago
do I do this in addition to the other stuff or just this
fair-rose•2y ago
in addition to other stuff
sharp-indigoOP•2y ago
alright
fair-rose•2y ago
don't click cancel on second dependency
sharp-indigoOP•2y ago
so just normal install?
fair-rose•2y ago
yep
it will work
100%
sharp-indigoOP•2y ago
trying that now
I feel like a lot of things boil down to that
games starting now let's see if it installs dependencies
if not I'll reinstall
not working so far
going to try a clean reinstall
which wine version are you using?
extended-salmon•2y ago
It works for me, I'm using wine ge latest version
only that since I was testing on a fall guys chromebook it crashes in game but in menus it works
sharp-indigoOP•2y ago
strange
i'm gonna keep trying then
i was using latest wine-ge from lutris
im going to see if installing the native heroic one through protonplus works
sharp-indigoOP•2y ago
yeah i got nothing
sharp-indigoOP•2y ago
no idea why it wont work anymore
using wine-ge-latest
i mustve broken something
what it is that i broke i dont know
because i could at least get it to work one time before
fair-rose•2y ago
@queenbiscuit I got the variable wrong
it's actually DOTNET_BUNDLE_EXTRACT_BASE_DIR
sharp-indigoOP•2y ago
oops let me try that
fair-rose•2y ago
you have to delete your prefix tho
it's not that hard to get it running fortunately
just have to install that eos installer thing
and then run the game
it will do everything else
sharp-indigoOP•2y ago
alright it just installed the epic online dependencies
sharp-indigoOP•2y ago
