use wine-ge and get rid of the launch options also delete the prefix just to be sure

as previously advised, delete the prefix, use wine-ge-latest, install vcrun2019 via winetricks back up your saves

rm -rf "path"

please do not ping me. in what way did it not work? what exactly did you try?
eastern-cyan
eastern-cyanOP2y ago
I deleted the prefix and used latest wine-ge, tired it and it did the same thing. then I installed vcrun2019 and it still blackscreens
evident-indigo
evident-indigo2y ago

you didn't get rid of the arguments "enviromentOptions": [ { "key": "PROTON_USE_WINE3D", "value": "1" } ],
eastern-cyan
eastern-cyanOP2y ago
got rid of them, nothing changes
evident-indigo
evident-indigo2y ago
post a new log after every change, if it doesn't work, post a new log

your prefix is the same as the game install path. you need to not have it be that
eastern-cyan
eastern-cyanOP2y ago
how do i change that
evident-indigo
evident-indigo2y ago
the same way you changed it to the game install path
eastern-cyan

you now need to verify and repair since you made the folders the same. also, don't have it be in "prefixes" have it be a sub folder within prefixes for Moonlighter

you have this error in the logs 00ec:err:module:import_dll Library mfc140u.dll (which is needed by L"Z:\\home\\cink\\Games\\Heroic\\Moonlighter\\Moonlighter_Data\\Plugins\\UnityNativeChromaSDK.dll") not found did you install vcrun2019 using winetricks as suggested above?

i've told him to do it at least twice now

"savesPath": "/home/cink/Games/Heroic/Moonlighter/Saves", "winePrefix": "/home/cink/Games/Heroic/Moonlighter/Prefixes",
These are wrong I believe RawToast also pointed out the prefix issue yesterday
evident-indigo
evident-indigo2y ago
okay, these are the steps you need to take, one by one. 1. Open the game page in Heroic 2. Open the sandwich menu at the top 3. Click Verify and Repair 4. Wait for that to finish 5. Open the game settings 6. Change the saves back to what they were originally. I can't for the life of me understand why you changed this:
/home/cink/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/Moonlighter/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/LocalLow/11BitStudios/Moonlighter
7. Change the prefix line to the following like I told you to a while ago:
/home/cink/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/Moonlighter
8. Try to open the game 9. Post a new log if it doesn't work.

step 6 is not consistent with 7 with the default/ folder in there
evident-indigo
evident-indigo2y ago
I know, it doesn't matter too much. The default/ folder is a weird inconsistency that some people have and some people don't. I don't want another layer of this confusing him
foreign-sapphire
foreign-sapphire2y ago
oops, I went too fast and thought you were telling him to set that
evident-indigo
evident-indigo2y ago
all good
eastern-cyan
eastern-cyanOP2y ago
/home/cink/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/default/Moonlighter/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/LocalLow/11BitStudios/Moonlighter there's no folder like this?
evident-indigo
evident-indigo2y ago
i've edited the message, there doesn't need to be a folder existing yet, copy and paste what's there into the save location in the heroic settings
eastern-cyan

evident-indigo
evident-indigo2y ago
did you or did you not verify and repair?
eastern-cyan
eastern-cyanOP2y ago
i did it takes like 1 second and it says its repaired
evident-indigo
evident-indigo2y ago
i just installed it, installed vcrun2019, and it opened up just fine for me which winetricks did you use to install vcrun2019?
eastern-cyan
eastern-cyanOP2y ago
the one in the launcher i just pressed the winrtricks button
evident-indigo
evident-indigo2y ago
good, good try installing it again, i think you deleted the folder after you installed it the first time?
eastern-cyan
eastern-cyanOP2y ago
i installed it again and it still doesnt work
eastern-cyan
eastern-cyanOP2y ago
evident-indigo
evident-indigo2y ago
delete this folder in dolphin or whatever /home/cink/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/default/Moonlighter/ do not change ANY settings in heroic use winetrcks to install vcrun2019 again
eastern-cyan
eastern-cyanOP2y ago

maybe a silly question, but what is the date on wine-latest?
eastern-cyan
eastern-cyanOP2y ago
2023 -09-25 refreshed it to 10-13
evident-indigo
evident-indigo2y ago
You mean 10-23? The 9-25 release had a bug with vcrun2019, I think Make sure you hit the refresh button so it actually updates
eastern-cyan
eastern-cyanOP2y ago
yes i meant 10-23 and no, nothing changed
foreign-sapphire
foreign-sapphire2y ago
You may need to recreate the prefix and/or reinstall vcrun
