Star Wars The Force Unleashed II not starting (Amazon)
After getting SWTFU 2 from prime gaming yesterday I sadly cannot play it.
I've done my fair bit of trouble shooting, here is the gist:
- Doesn't work on Proton 7, 8, Experimental even after installing the dependencies citing "SteamAPI_IsSteamRunning()" failing
- Doesn't launch when setting the custom exe to "SWTFU2.exe" citing "No game match"
- DOES however launch using either when using "Run exe on prefix"
- Using Wine instead of Proton, even with setting up using winetricks, has led nowhere
- Issue appears in Heroic, launched from the Steam shortcut and in gaming mode
- Troubleshooting steps on the Discord haven't helped
I've attached the game log files for the easiest to reproduce instances
Thanks in advance for any help :)

Sorry, I should have mentioned I tried the responses in the other thread before
Ill start over with a clean Wine Prefix once again though, thank you

considering that Proton does not work for Amazon games via Nile, you may need to revisit the guidance

Oh you can scroll that page! Didnt see on my monitor, the bullet points filled it up perfectly
So while the deck does its thing, do you mind if I ask if "Run exe on Prefix" worked because that wont use nile?

you will need to redo that after switching to Wine-GE

I just cleared the prefix, verified files and using wine-ge-proton8-14 am getting in game now with the same setup as earlier.
Also didnt need to manually install the dependencies, thank you guys a lot! Wouldn't have tried again without your motivation :)
