Rocket League crashing before launch

I installed RL through heroic on my system (NixOS + Sway + Nvidia) and when I click Play Now it loads and then goes back to Play Now without any new screen showing up at all.

Seems like it couldn't find Wine :Pikathink: Oh I have to install Wine separately

install Wine-GE-latest from the Wine Manager in Heroic

fascinating-indigoOP•2y ago

I did and then got this error:

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/getpsyched/.config/heroic/tools/wine/Wine-GE-latest/bin/wine'

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/getpsyched/.config/heroic/tools/wine/Wine-GE-latest/bin/wine'

you may need to install the wine dependencies then: https://github.com/lutris/docs/blob/master/WineDependencies.md

but it exists:

~ λ ls .config/heroic/tools/wine/Wine-GE-latest/bin/wine
.config/heroic/tools/wine/Wine-GE-latest/bin/wine

~ λ ls .config/heroic/tools/wine/Wine-GE-latest/bin/wine
.config/heroic/tools/wine/Wine-GE-latest/bin/wine

why do I need to install it

subsequent-cyan•2y ago

because it's a quirk of Wine where some dependencies aren't always installed

distinguished-silver•2y ago

I'm getting this issue on my steam deck It was after the latest update

subsequent-cyan•2y ago

you are likely having a different issue even if the result is the same. create a new post with your game logs #:pushpin: Read Me First | Frequently Asked Questions

fascinating-indigoOP•2y ago

I'm guessing this is entirely unrelated? https://discord.com/channels/812703221789097985/818939492244258826/1149148722081583195 Ah. TL;DR: install Wine system-wide?

distinguished-silver•2y ago

Seems sus that multiple people are having the exact same issue on the same game near the same time 🤷‍♂️

fascinating-indigoOP•2y ago

You could try this solution then Looks like I already have Wine installed. winePackages.stagingFull this one in particular now what?

@G you can try resetting your Rocket League prefix Who is G 💀 @GetPsyched you can try resetting your Rocket League prefix That seemed to work for me but you might not have the same issue

fascinating-indigoOP•2y ago

how do I do that? just rm -rf the prefix dir so it gets built again?

distinguished-silver•2y ago

I guess, just make sure any other games linked to that prefix don't have any saves or anything Or you can make a new one

fascinating-indigoOP•2y ago

how? sorry I'm new to this. Got this error on launch of heroic BTW

fascinating-indigoOP•2y ago

distinguished-silver•2y ago

Go into heroic settings for rocket League and set it to a dir you'd want it to make it at There's like a prefix dir in the settings

seems like this might be the error

distinguished-silver•2y ago

Interesting I don't really know much above that I did use proton ge but I'm not sure that'd change anything

fascinating-indigoOP•2y ago

hmm @termdisc anything beyond this? Hmm. So it looks like this is an issue with Heroic on the AppImage version As switching to the Nix expression that builds heroic from source seems to have worked. Though I've run into a new issue, RL is just a black screen I think this might be what @p0wder has faced? nvm I guess that was just an initial launch delay

adverse-sapphire•2y ago

did you get it working? from looking at that log above, it looks like you never remade the prefix you deleted earlier or the path to the prefix is set incorrectly

fascinating-indigoOP•2y ago

well I got it working by installing through Nix And the game runs fine now EXCEPT I am getting 72 FPS lol I used to get 400 when I used i3 instead of Sway Plus I used legendary instead of heroic which idt matters

adverse-sapphire•2y ago

heroic is just a frontend for legendary, so that probly shouldnt matter

fascinating-indigoOP•2y ago

yeah, thought so likely Sway is having issues with Nvidia not utilising my card properly but like I reduced my video settings and the FPS remained the same

adverse-sapphire•2y ago

you could try rolling back dxvk to see if it is the same bug i was having issues with

fascinating-indigoOP•2y ago

what did your bug do to the game? I am just having FPS issues nothing more

adverse-sapphire•2y ago

mine made fullscreen and borderless unplayable, but windowed mode ran fine a quick way to test would be to launch the game with -windowed and then check your fps 🤷‍♂️

fascinating-indigoOP•2y ago

unplayable in what sense

adverse-sapphire•2y ago

like it just wasnt responsive but when i rolled back to last version of dxvk it went back to normal

fascinating-indigoOP•2y ago

can't I just change that during runtime

adverse-sapphire•2y ago

yeah, you can set it that way too i havent really had time to troubleshoot it.. planning on doing it this weekend

fascinating-indigoOP•2y ago

YO I switched to Windowed mode and got back 400 FPS

distinguished-silver•2y ago

fascinating-indigoOP•2y ago

Thanks p0wder and Worst, termdisc

distinguished-silver•2y ago

No probs

adverse-sapphire•2y ago

nice! so that means that rolling back dxvk should fix it for you for me, i used: WINEPREFIX=/path/to/rl-prefix WINE=/path/to/wine-g/binary winetricks --force dxvk2010 or just play in windowed mode untill dxvk gets fixed lol

fascinating-indigoOP•2y ago

Yeah lmao my lazy ass would do just that Sucks that I can't launch rocket-league through my app browser though I have to open heroic and then RL

subsequent-cyan•2y ago

at first I read this as a criticism as in "I leave to do work and get called the worst?!" hah

adverse-sapphire•2y ago

you can actually.. just make a .desktop and use the games launch command from heroic log with bash -c '*game-launch-command*'

subsequent-cyan•2y ago

why can you not launch it through a browser? I'm missing something throughout the day. does the command simply not work?

adverse-sapphire•2y ago

i think hes referring to his app menu (start menu) as app browser, so that he can run the game without having to launch heroic first

adverse-sapphire•2y ago

this is the .desktop that i use to do it:

rocket-league.deskto...

adverse-sapphire•2y ago

you would need to edit the Exec line and the Icon line to reflect your setup

subsequent-cyan•2y ago

heroic can generate those. is there something wrong with the .desktop that it generates?

adverse-sapphire•2y ago

the ones that heroic generates still launches heroic those use Exec=xdg-open heroic://launch/Sugar to launch the game

subsequent-cyan•2y ago

isn't that expected when there still is some legendary backend stuff that needs to happen?

adverse-sapphire•2y ago

its not required, my command just uses legendary without heroic

subsequent-cyan•2y ago

this should be clarified because I interpret this as manually opening Heroic + RL via Heroic

adverse-sapphire•2y ago

yeah, i thought he meant launch the game without launching heroic first not sure tho

fascinating-indigoOP•2y ago

Lmao But I checked the toggle that should've created this automatically. Yeah, this It should have but I don't see RL in my app menu this seems like a more efficient method when you just want the game since you skip all the UI

subsequent-cyan•2y ago

The standard shortcut generated by Heroic skips the UI as well It’s just a .desktop shortcut that has Exec=xdg-open heroic://launch/Sugar Create one manually if it wasn’t auto created First try the menu to create one

adverse-sapphire•2y ago

the xdg-open command still opens heroic in the background.. but it does technically skip needing to touch heroic

fascinating-indigoOP•2y ago

Yeah you interpreted it correctly I launch heroic -> launch RL from the game library Instead of just opening RL from my app menu through some shortcut didn't work I get this output in the terminal:

(13:09:55) INFO:    [Backend]:          Adding shortcuts for Rocket League®
(13:09:55) INFO:    [Backend]:          Shortcut saved on /home/getpsyched/Desktop/Rocket League®.desktop

(13:09:55) INFO:    [Backend]:          Shortcut saved on /home/getpsyched/.local/share/applications/Rocket League®.desktop

But I neither have a ~/Desktop dir, nor a ~/.local/share/applications dir.

subsequent-cyan•2y ago

You don’t have those folders at all?

extended-salmon•2y ago

Weird it works for me on nixos

fascinating-indigoOP•2y ago

Nope Do you use KDE?

extended-salmon•2y ago

No, gnome Are you sure lol? That's weird Idk

fascinating-indigoOP•2y ago

Yeah, you have a DE, I don't Nope, those folders are a norm that I don't prefer. It mostly comes from Windows too lol

extended-salmon•2y ago

Oh I see Well that might be why Maybe create .local/share/applications and try again?

subsequent-cyan•2y ago

Yeah, just create those folders Desktop won’t display on gnome anyway And .local/share/applications is just user space application menu shortcuts As in anything you add to the desktop folder won’t actually appear on the desktop of the DE These will appear in your launchpad

fascinating-indigoOP•2y ago

There must be another way to do this on NixOS though Since I have other apps that don't require this folder But perhaps they exist in my app menu because they're installed using NixOS' package manager And RL would be through Heroic

extended-salmon•2y ago

they would be in the system applications this is in userspace

fascinating-indigoOP•2y ago

I don't have anything in my system applications except for my VPN Everything else is in the userspace

CommandMC•2y ago

Base Directories, User Directories, and Desktop Entries are all standardized specifications (Base Directory Spec, xdg-user-dirs, Desktop Entry spec ). If you don't want to participate in this standard, that's fine, but don't blame applications for relying on them

extended-salmon•2y ago

desktop i dont see being as much of an issue though it could still cause stuff but .local/share/applications is a good idea to have im not quite sure how userspace apps work on nix, i have most of mine system, but i assume the desktop entry is in /nix/store/<(hash)-application/share/applications/<something>.desktop, just like system nix apps

fascinating-indigoOP•2y ago

I didn't mean to blame haha. I was only saying that there must be some alternative method in NixOS that I wanna explore Because 0 applications use this spec on NixOS and that must be only true for this distro Meaning that the unwrapped applications would use these specs and NixOS is redirecting them somehow I just want to figure out that redirection Regardless, if those folders don't exist, Heroic should either create them OR at least error out saying that the parent folder doesn't exist. Giving a success message even if there no tangible success is misleading

adverse-sapphire•2y ago

just google where nix puts user .desktops and then creat it yourself 🤷‍♂️

fascinating-indigoOP•2y ago

Yeah fair.

adverse-sapphire•2y ago

or better yet, i will give you a copy from my system

CommandMC•2y ago

I would've thought that this was the case, but it seems the code just prints "Success" once the writeFile operation is done (regardless of whether it was actually successful) 'nother one for the :yakstack:

adverse-sapphire•2y ago

Rocket_League.deskto...

adverse-sapphire•2y ago

you will need to change the 'Icon=' part in the .desktop bcus it points to my home folder .desktop contents:


[Desktop Entry]
Name=Rocket League
Exec=xdg-open heroic://launch/legendary/Sugar
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Icon=/home/p0wder/.config/heroic/icons/Sugar.jpg
Categories=Game;

adverse-sapphire•2y ago

i use this icon for mine tho (ocd lol):

extended-salmon•2y ago

What is a yakstack lol??

fascinating-indigoOP•2y ago

Yeah I prefer this haha Can I change Sugar.jpg to this? I guess the art for RL on heroic would become messy since this isn't of the right proportions

adverse-sapphire•2y ago

yup, just edit the .desktop and change the Icon= line to that one

fascinating-indigoOP•2y ago

I meant changing the actual Sugar.jpg and not the icon path

adverse-sapphire•2y ago

that line sets the icon, you can set it to whatever you want it to be

fascinating-indigoOP•2y ago

Oh it's not for the art? Cool.

adverse-sapphire•2y ago

no, it would be for the icon you see in your app menu/app launcher

fascinating-indigoOP•2y ago

Just so we're on the same page, I am referring to how Heroic uses /home/p0wder/.config/heroic/icons/Sugar.jpg Not what the Icon path in the desktop entry does Hmm makes sense.

adverse-sapphire•2y ago

i meant like change it to


Icon=/home/p0wder/.config/heroic/icons/rocket-league.png

but edit the path to reflect wherever you save the .png to did you figure out where the .desktops go? they are basically just text files that you make executable and then they show up in your app menu

fascinating-indigoOP•2y ago

Yeah, I have the app menu entry now hmmmmmmmmm makes my system at an impure state haha I can do it but if I reinstall, that part won't be reproducible

adverse-sapphire•2y ago

yeah i was thinkin about that lol

fascinating-indigoOP•2y ago

I could put it in a different directory But for now I'm just using the default Sugar.jpg Thanks for the help!

adverse-sapphire•2y ago

np :CatYeah:

CommandMC•2y ago

Explaining jokes, my favorite activity See this for a full explanation, TLDR is "your to-do list"

extended-salmon•2y ago

Ah cool :)

fascinating-indigoOP•2y ago

uh it opens this link in firefox heroic://launch/legendary/Sugar 🥲

extended-salmon•2y ago

@GetPsyched are you maybe using flatpak? No wait nix Huh Very weird

fascinating-indigoOP•2y ago

idt this is a flatpak or nix issue lol

extended-salmon•2y ago

It used to be an issue with flatpak iirc Idk about nix tho

fascinating-indigoOP•2y ago

I see I think this is an issue because I don't have heroic installed via nixpkgs I just have it as a shell alias

extended-salmon•2y ago

oh that would be why what is your alias to

fascinating-indigoOP•2y ago

nix shell github:aidalgol/nixpkgs/heroic-white-screen-fix#heroic -c heroic

nix shell github:aidalgol/nixpkgs/heroic-white-screen-fix#heroic -c heroic

extended-salmon•2y ago

oh. that was merged into master now you know

fascinating-indigoOP•2y ago

yes, but it's not in nixos-unstable yet

extended-salmon•2y ago

yeah

fascinating-indigoOP•2y ago

I have nixpkgs pinned to unstable

extended-salmon•2y ago

thats why i added it as a flake input

fascinating-indigoOP•2y ago

or should I pin it to master 🤔

extended-salmon•2y ago

no do not thats not a good idea

fascinating-indigoOP•2y ago

Yeah as in?

extended-salmon•2y ago

do you use flakes or regular config?

fascinating-indigoOP•2y ago

flakes

extended-salmon•2y ago

add this as an input nixpkgs-master.url = "github:nixos/nixpkgs"; add this to packages inputs.nixpkgs-master.legacyPackages.x86_64-linux.heroic

fascinating-indigoOP•2y ago

I know there's a way to do it using flake inputs but my lazy ass is just waiting for it to arrive in unstable lol

extended-salmon•2y ago

fair enough

fascinating-indigoOP•2y ago

Oh it's that easy

extended-salmon•2y ago

yeah

fascinating-indigoOP•2y ago

wait why legacyPackages

extended-salmon•2y ago

idk maybe you can do it differently this is what ive seen and it works

rival-black•2y ago

Nothing important, but having the same issue with Nobara (Fedora) 38 on KDE Plasma. Game starts windowed though, but crashes seconds afterwards. Can't find anything in the logs, they seem normal.

CommandMC•2y ago

@Raphipod Please send in a game log regardless. RL should just work

rival-black•2y ago

Where is this log located or which one do you need?

rival-black•2y ago

Sugar-lastPlay.log

rival-black•2y ago

Well, there's a Wine error. But it happened in the past and it worked.

CommandMC•2y ago

Hmm yup, nothing obvious in there. Have you tried verifying your game files?

rival-black•2y ago

I'll go ahead and do that now. Get back to you when it's finished. Legendary just seems to straight-up redownload the game as I see R/W access and I am downloading something. The game also exists on the specified path in Heroic. It's been downloaded before.

CommandMC•2y ago

There were probably corrupted files then (which are now re-downloaded)

rival-black•2y ago

Ah, that's what it probably is. But it would be nice if it said that there are corrupted files in the log.

CommandMC•2y ago

(Heroic's progress reporting on repairs isn't the best; so I'm just guessing here)

rival-black•2y ago

Don't really think that's Heroic's fault though It's finished now. goddamnit i feel so stupid rn haha it works Thanks for your help.

fascinating-indigoOP•2y ago

Oh yeah it worked nicely. Forgot to reply here sorry haha. Also, it turns out that I can create .desktop files through my nix config as well. ref: https://github.com/GetPsyched/nix-config/blob/master/getpsyched/games.nix#L12-L21 super neat

extended-salmon•2y ago

yeah ik its cool :)
