Fall Guys doesn't launch after latest game update

[EDIT] Solved by disabling DXVK.
[EDIT2] I should probably update the Ubuntu version...

After some time without playing Fall Guys, I was going to launch it, found that there was a game update available, installed it (big mistake!), and now I'm no longer able to launch the game. Blank screen when launching (after the anti-cheat splash), and when I Alt-tab outside of it I see a popup window saying that there was an error with DX11. The game was working before.
Error message says:

Switching to resolution 1920x1080 failed
Screen: DX11 could not switch resolution (1920x1080 fs=1 hz=0)

Switching to resolution 1920x1080 failed
Screen: DX11 could not switch resolution (1920x1080 fs=1 hz=0)

(I'm already at that resolution, by the way)

I was also messing with my system-wide Wine configuration before (when trying to install another game), updating Wine to a newer version, but I already tried reverting to the previous version without success. In any case, I understand that Heroic uses its own Wine/Proton binaries "isolated" from the ones installed in the system.

Is this a known issue with the game update, or did I break something?

Heroic v2.7.1 (haven't updated to v2.9.2 yet)
Ubuntu 18.04 (haven't updated to 20.04 yet)
Fall Guys installed following the wiki instructions (and THAT one is updated)

your distro is 5 years old, so old that it doesn't even have ACO for amd

wet-aqua•9/14/23, 10:30 PM

I would update to 22.04 first

wet-aqua•9/14/23, 10:31 PM

and heroic 2.9.2

spotty-amberOP•9/14/23, 10:31 PM

sounds like the latter will take less work...

wet-aqua•9/14/23, 10:31 PM

btw I just launched the game and it's fine

Sspotty-amber sounds like the latter will take less work...

wet-aqua•9/14/23, 10:32 PM

this is an and, not an or

wet-aqua•9/14/23, 10:32 PM

your distro is so old that heroic cannot support it properly anyway

wet-aqua•9/14/23, 10:32 PM

heroic is built with glibc from 20.04

wet-aqua•9/14/23, 10:32 PM

you are on 18.04

wet-aqua•9/14/23, 10:32 PM

therefore it shouldn't even launch, but here we are ...

wet-aqua•9/14/23, 10:34 PM

im honestly shocked that wine-ge even runs for you that's crazy

spotty-amberOP•9/14/23, 10:34 PM

yeah, yeah... I swear I've been telling myself I need to upgrade

spotty-amberOP•9/14/23, 10:34 PM

but that takes time, and I'm willing to bet that it'll break a ton of things

wet-aqua•9/14/23, 10:34 PM

how does your laptop even work

Sspotty-amber but that takes time, and I'm willing to bet that it'll break a ton of things

wet-aqua•9/14/23, 10:34 PM

not really?

Wwet-aqua how does your laptop even work

wet-aqua•9/14/23, 10:34 PM

your chip is from around 2018

wet-aqua•9/14/23, 10:35 PM

oh they probably updated this LTS actually

wet-aqua•9/14/23, 10:35 PM

with newer kernels and stuff

wet-aqua•9/14/23, 10:35 PM

right

spotty-amberOP•9/14/23, 10:35 PM

and the laptop was already crap by then

wet-aqua•9/14/23, 10:35 PM

like what im saying is that it should not even be able to boot

wet-aqua•9/14/23, 10:35 PM

4.15 kernel is 5 years old

spotty-amberOP•9/14/23, 10:35 PM

yeah, 18.04 has 5 year support

wet-aqua•9/14/23, 10:35 PM

it doesn't even support wine properly

wet-aqua•9/14/23, 10:36 PM

litterally everything is wrong with this setup :Thonk:

spotty-amberOP•9/14/23, 10:36 PM

wine works fine

spotty-amberOP•9/14/23, 10:36 PM

fine like wine

wet-aqua•9/14/23, 10:36 PM

idk how you did it but congrats on doing something I thought was litterally impossible

spotty-amberOP•9/14/23, 10:36 PM

even after updating to a not-incredibly-old wine release

spotty-amberOP•9/14/23, 10:37 PM

anyway, thanks for the answer of "game launches fine for me", that's what I wanted to know (or part of it)

wet-aqua•9/14/23, 10:37 PM

yeah I would definetly update

wet-aqua•9/14/23, 10:37 PM

you might have issues updating 8 releases

wet-aqua•9/14/23, 10:38 PM

but you should be fine for the most part

spotty-amberOP•9/14/23, 10:38 PM

only 2 releases

spotty-amberOP•9/14/23, 10:38 PM

pretends non-LTS releases don't count

spotty-amberOP•9/14/23, 10:40 PM

ok so you might have been right on the "it's an AND" part

but hey, at least heroic is now up to date

spotty-amberOP•9/14/23, 10:47 PM

So, I disabled DXVK and now it's loading.

spotty-amberOP•9/14/23, 10:48 PM

Although since I upgraded, maybe I can install this new shiny DXVK-NVAPI, whatever it is

spotty-amberOP•9/14/23, 10:50 PM

Anyway, problem solved! Guess I can stay with this Ubuntu release a couple years more

wet-aqua•9/14/23, 10:51 PM

:husk: good luck I guess

spotty-amberOP•9/14/23, 10:51 PM

(kidding... I'll upgrade. Eventually.)
