The Evil Within not launching

Hello,
I installed the Evil Within, but nothing happens when launching it. I tried another EGS game (Into the breach) and no problem launching it.
Here's the log

You should have gotten a browser page opens up for that game in EGS most likely

dry-scarlet•10/20/23, 5:41 PM

But you won't get it if you directly added Heroic itself to Steam or if you were on gaming mode.

dry-scarlet•10/20/23, 5:42 PM

So just launch game once in desktop mode

the wine log

awake-maroon•10/21/23, 12:54 AM

try using wine-ge-proton (use the latest in the Wine Manager section in Heroic) instead of wine-stagingwine-staging

dry-scarlet•10/22/23, 11:47 AM

I just add the game in steam from Heroic Launcher .. and now is shoW me in steam " Evil Within 2" not first one ... my problem is can't launch evil within first in Heroic Launcher. Tks

awake-maroon•10/22/23, 1:04 PM

the query to get the image is probably matching the wrong game, but it should be the first game (I think you can edit the image of the game in steam to fix it)

I think some people have reported the game doesn't work in gaming mode, that only works in desktop mode, can you confirm the game runs in desktop mode? also make sure to use Heroic 2.9.2

nursing-lime•10/22/23, 1:42 PM

This would tie it back to OP’s issue. Browser authentication doesn’t play nice in game mode

have update on ... and how can play in game mode in heroic launcher?

Ddry-scarlet have update on ... and how can play in game mode in heroic launcher?

dry-scarlet•10/22/23, 3:14 PM

if game mode is for steam - still not working on big screen ...same not start the game

awake-maroon•10/22/23, 3:48 PM

if the game tries to open a web browser every time you launch it then I doubt there's a way to play it in game mode since that doesn't work in game mode

if the game only does that the first time, you should be able to run the game once in desktop mode to have the browser show up and then use it in game mode after that

awake-maroon•10/22/23, 6:00 PM

the game is not starting in desktop mode from heroic, until that's fixed don't bother testing with steam

after you add a game to steam from heroic you have to restart steam

you have to share the game logs when it fails to start in desktop mode from heroic, click the Report a problem running this gameReport a problem running this game button and share the logs here

Try using Wine-GE-Proton8-20, you can install it using the Wine Manager in heroic, then set that in the game's settings

if it still doesn't work share a new log

endless-jade•10/22/23, 8:11 PM

you never get the browser popping up to authorize the epic access?

awake-maroon•10/22/23, 8:26 PM

if you don't get that, try changing your system's browser to firefox for example, if it still doesn't show up try installing ie8 in the game prefix using winetricks

Aawake-maroon you never get the browser popping up to authorize the epic access?

endless-jade•10/22/23, 8:36 PM

I don't know what that is, for the other games I simply click play and they work. I'll try Firefox thnks

dry-scarlet•10/22/23, 8:50 PM

Some games require you to connect the game to your epic account this pops up a browser window for you to verify the connection.

It would do this even in egs on windows

awake-maroon•10/22/23, 9:22 PM

you should see your webbrowser showing a page like this

endless-jade•10/22/23, 9:23 PM

Nothing, I tried Firefox

endless-jade•10/22/23, 9:33 PM

Then I tried Edge, still nothing. Idk how to install ie8 using Winetricks. Sorry I'm not a Linux user

dry-scarlet•10/22/23, 9:35 PM

you just need your default browser set to firefox if you have firefox

Ddry-scarlet you just need your default browser set to firefox if you have firefox

endless-jade•10/22/23, 9:37 PM

I tried with that but nothing changed

dry-scarlet•10/22/23, 9:43 PM

what does xdg-settings get default-web-browserxdg-settings get default-web-browser give you

awake-maroon•10/22/23, 9:47 PM

are you running the game in desktop or gameing mode?

Aawake-maroon are you running the game in desktop or gameing mode?

endless-jade•10/22/23, 9:51 PM

Desktop mode

Ddry-scarlet what does `xdg-settings get default-web-browser` give you

endless-jade•10/22/23, 10:02 PM

Chrome because I changed it

nursing-lime•10/22/23, 11:19 PM

Could always try systemctl --user restart xdg-desktop-portalsystemctl --user restart xdg-desktop-portal

Nnursing-lime Could always try `systemctl --user restart xdg-desktop-portal`

endless-jade•10/23/23, 8:57 AM

Ok I tried but still nothing happened

awake-maroon•10/23/23, 12:25 PM

maybe try installing the game on another computer so you can authorize the epic access and then it won't need that on the steam deck? not sure what else to try

endless-jade•10/23/23, 1:49 PM

I didn't want to get to this point but I'll try

Thx

wet-aqua•10/23/23, 6:35 PM

I would also try steam os preview/beta

wet-aqua•10/23/23, 6:35 PM

The default steam os uses super old packages

wet-aqua•10/23/23, 6:35 PM

Way Older than debian stable, slightly newer than debian 11 tbh

wet-aqua•10/23/23, 6:36 PM

It really hurts the deck's performance

endless-jade•10/23/23, 8:19 PM

Ok everything works on PC, that browser message did show up, instead on Deck this game really doesn't want to work LOL

awake-maroon•10/23/23, 8:34 PM

so after that working in the desktop it's still not working on the deck? cause I tested the game yesterday on my deck and it works fine in both desktop and game mode (I authorized epic earlier on my desktop computer)
