mute-goldOP•2y ago

i haven't really been following the bg3 discourse in other threads, but is it supposed to be using that wine version?

deep-jade•2y ago

that's the most recent one updated 2 days ago

flat-fuchsia•2y ago

okay, cool

deep-jade•2y ago

I'd get rid of the alternative exe to troubleshoot

mute-goldOP•2y ago

thank god for anydesk to my SD, wish there was VNC easily haha, one sec let me test

mute-goldOP•2y ago

this does this on windows too with skip launcher, thats why I was trying to bypass Dx11 crashes with the launcher, let me try vulkanb

Guess lost cause then, appreciate the attempt

exotic-emerald•2y ago

make sure to verify files you may need to use Proton Hotfix or Experimental

mute-goldOP•2y ago

Yeah tried all that 😕

exotic-emerald•2y ago

did you install dotnet after switching from Wine to Proton? The prefix structure is very different

mute-goldOP•2y ago

Let me delete the prefix folder and try again, pretty sure I did Deleted prefix, installed C++ and .net runtimes in the redist folder, Dxvk and VKD3D is installed by default, install d3dcompiler_43 d3dcompiler_47

mute-goldOP•2y ago

without --skip-launcher, it DX11 crashes at 50% loading. game LOG

then this indicates corrupted files for sure

mute-goldOP•2y ago

over 120 GB free, and it says not enough space

exotic-emerald•2y ago

try running this command in Konsole to confirm

find "/home/deck/Games/Heroic/Baldurs Gate 3" -name *.tmp*

find "/home/deck/Games/Heroic/Baldurs Gate 3" -name *.tmp*

mute-goldOP•2y ago

no response I'm going to direct copy over the files from my desktop's good installation

exotic-emerald•2y ago

sure, try it

mute-goldOP•2y ago

yeah 337 GB free at the time of installation SSD, not SD card\ gotta love steam decks max 44 MBps wifi haha. This is the only game I haven't gotten working that "Shouold" be functional out of over 100 non steam games Deleted prefix, installed C++, Dxvk and VKD3D is installed by default, install d3dcompiler_43 d3dcompiler_47 direct copy from windows machine (HDD connect)

crash with direct EXE or with launcher at load again lari launcher no longer warns of missing files

optimistic-gold•2y ago

you didn't install cpp properly you need vcrun2019 you got that right?

mute-goldOP•2y ago

exe or winetrick selection?

optimistic-gold•2y ago

winetricks

mute-goldOP•2y ago

the direct copy from windows did not bring over the redist folder as that didn't exist

optimistic-gold•2y ago

use winetricks for it

mute-goldOP•2y ago

yup, grabbing

optimistic-gold•2y ago

don't use the windows files or whatever

mute-goldOP•2y ago

any winetrick for dotnet I used the exe for that

optimistic-gold•2y ago

oh no... use winetricks for everything don't use the exes it's much easier that way

mute-goldOP•2y ago

ok, didn't know which to select

optimistic-gold•2y ago

and it works around any bugs it says dotnet in there dotnet40 35 etc

mute-goldOP•2y ago

all of them

optimistic-gold•2y ago

don't click them if you installed them already

mute-goldOP•2y ago

lemme delete prefix again 😢

mute-goldOP•2y ago

which one should I grab Guessing .net runtime 6.0 LTS Deleted prefix , Dxvk and VKD3D is installed by default, install winetrick d3dcompiler_43 d3dcompiler_47, vcrun2019,dotnetdesktop6

optimistic-gold•2y ago

mute-goldOP•2y ago

optimistic-gold•2y ago

great looks like your game is actually working now

mute-goldOP•2y ago

optimistic-gold•2y ago

did you enable EOS overlay maybe that might help

mute-goldOP•2y ago

EOS, isn't that epic?

optimistic-gold•2y ago

mute-goldOP•2y ago

optimistic-gold•2y ago

btw it's still bg3_dx11.exe not vulkan

mute-goldOP•2y ago

There bg3.exe (vulkan) vs bg3_DX11.exe

optimistic-gold•2y ago

nvm it's vulkan in the second one you just sent

mute-goldOP•2y ago

yeah, log didn't copy from remote desktop properly sorry

optimistic-gold•2y ago

[0824/103427.169:ERROR:check.cc(222)] Check failed: false. hmm might be this

mute-goldOP•2y ago

whats that

optimistic-gold•2y ago

idk that's such a stupid error tho wait a minute try WINE_SIMULATE_WRITECOPY=1 in the env variables

mute-goldOP•2y ago

sec

mute-goldOP•2y ago

nope ***

message.txt

optimistic-gold•2y ago

"enviromentOptions": [ { "key": "Test1", "value": "WINE_SIMULATE_WRITECOPY=1" } ], that's not how you set it key: WINE_SIMULATE_WRITECOPY value: 1

optimistic-gold•2y ago

like this instead of OBS_VKCAPTURE replace that with WINE_SIMULATE_WRITECOPY ignore the dxr one

mute-goldOP•2y ago

ah ok

mute-goldOP•2y ago

instant crash again

mute-goldOP•2y ago

mute-goldOP•2y ago

That was vulkan, and again DX11 instant crash at 50%

mute-goldOP•2y ago

mute-goldOP•2y ago

So I did a repair of the game, and it lead to faster crashes

optimistic-gold•2y ago

this is probably a wine bug somehow

exotic-emerald•2y ago

how about Proton Hotfix or Experimental I played a few hours with them

optimistic-gold•2y ago

does the game work for you Linguin

exotic-emerald•2y ago

indeed

optimistic-gold•2y ago

oh try proton experimental then @Sire Salty make sure you update it in steam

mute-goldOP•2y ago

you mean do the protontricks? how exactly did you set it up, I had alot of issues there too GOG copy or steam?

exotic-emerald•2y ago

just select Proton Experimental and install dotnet GOG

mute-goldOP•2y ago

I literally have about 90-140 gog and non steam games this one is the only albatross I'm copying over the files from my desktop will try protontricks or EXE

exotic-emerald•2y ago

exe is fine

mute-goldOP•2y ago

ok, recopying files because it seems like heroic GOG installer kept corrupting files:

exotic-emerald•2y ago

I'm working on complete refactor of this, so it won't happen in the future

mute-goldOP•2y ago

I appreicate it @Linguin I'm a dev in cyber sec, so I appreciate the thankless struggle in a passion project @Linguin rarg no luck

exotic-emerald•2y ago

does it load the launcher at least? try also enabling steam runtime in game settings

mute-goldOP•2y ago

Launcher does load Trying with the new patch @OOOOOF123 and @Linguin found the issue It's Decky Powertools you uninstall decky powertools (not decky as a whole) and it fixes it

optimistic-gold•2y ago

how is that even possible might be a ram issue then
