Alan Wake 2 won't launch
Tried proton experimental, proton GE, Wine, setting environmental variables, adding the game to Steam to no avail. The game shows as 'playing' for a couple of seconds and stops.

drag and drop the entire file into discord
absent-sapphireOP•2y ago
just says upload failed
can I screenshot it?
eager-peach•2y ago
then use the pastebin suggestion in the link i posted
deep-jade•2y ago
rename it to .txt and discord will post it
eager-peach•2y ago
i had no clue that's how it worked
deep-jade•2y ago
its a dumb prevention imo haha who knows why its like that
eager-peach•2y ago
potential security risk? who knows
absent-sapphireOP•2y ago
pastebin won't accept the log either jsut says no file selected, I'll do what @Allora said
eager-peach•2y ago
please don't ping people
absent-sapphireOP•2y ago
weird, same thing even with .txt
eager-peach•2y ago
hmm
in pastebin, you don't necessarily upload the file, you copy the contents and paste it in

get rid of the environment options
"autoInstallDxvkNvapi": true, "eacRuntime": true, "battlEyeRuntime": trueturn all this off
"useGameMode": true,and this leave DXVK on, but not DXVK-API
absent-sapphireOP•2y ago
still doesn't launch
eager-peach•2y ago
i know
post a new log
we're taking this one step at a time

FIRST: delete the DIRECTORY /home/kalameet/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/default/Alan Wake 2
DO NOT touch any heroic settings
use winetricks to install d3dcompiler_43 and d3dcompiler_47
when you open winetricks, you select default wineprefix
install dll or component
and search for above 2
and then check them and click ok
then close winetricks and try running the game
should™️ work after that
if not, post a new log
absent-sapphireOP•2y ago
they were already installed
eager-peach•2y ago
take out the middle one
only 43 and 47
then i'm almost positive your game is corrupt, so you will need to verify and repair
Winetricks can't uninstall things, you'd have to recreate the prefix entirely
eager-peach•2y ago
good to know! i've never tried to uninstall before
eager-peach•2y ago
is it this line that makes you say that? i'm not familiar with it
00ec:err:module:import_dll Library MSVCP140_CODECVT_IDS.dll (which is needed by L"Z:\\home\\kalameet\\Games\\Heroic\\AlanWake2\\AlanWake2.exe") not foundYup
That's one of the top priority things to look for in these logs, if a game depends on a DLL that isn't installed, it won't launch until you provide that DLL
Speaking of the log, just for reference (Debian Pastes expire after a couple days)
eager-peach•2y ago
excellent, thanks for letting me know!
absent-sapphireOP•2y ago
I'll try that in a bit thanks, jsut need to do something at work
absent-sapphireOP•2y ago
The game launches now, but forces me to quit
absent-sapphireOP•2y ago
which overlay is it talking about
I disabled mangohud just in case but that was not it
deep-jade•2y ago
check to see if you had to associate your game with epic.. usually this ends up in a browser window somewhere
absent-sapphireOP•2y ago
my bad, I did not have EOS overlay installed. The game now runs ok, thanks everyone for help appreciate it
eager-peach•2y ago
sick
optimistic-gold•2y ago
would it also work with vcrun2022 from winetricks instead of the manual install?
it does
rising-crimson•2y ago
what's EOS overlay, and how do I install it? it never prompted me
ahhh, found it. docs say tools -> enable eos overlay, on the game page in your library. it's the three dots icon, there's no 'tools'
then it should prompt you to install it
quickest-silver•2y ago
Hi guys, did everything mentioned here, still the game won't work - it launches, but I just get black screen and nothing happens. Yes, tried waiting. Tried both AMDVLK and RADV drivers.
Would anyone take a look at my log? Maybe I missed something. https://pastebin.com/N0xQTHKE

Make your own thread, this is solved
deep-jade•2y ago
ensure eos is installed, you dont seem to have vkd3d enabled, so ensure the game is running in dx11 mode,or turn on vkd3d.

How to install this components
deep-jade•2y ago
did you do anything in this thread? id try those things first
granted, a steam deck is gonn a be pretty weak for this game
vicious-gold•2y ago
Thx, i'll go to try this game on XBOX😆
optimistic-gold•2y ago
game doesn't have a DX11 mode fwiw
deep-jade•2y ago
that answers that question then 😄

I got it to work using the previous steps but did notice that its the nvidia drivers that make the game crash and have texture issues. I got it to work at 90-110 fps by doing PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU=1. It still works with PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU=0 but dlss causes stuttering so I would recommend using frs for now and disabling ray tracing which was causing the textures to work weird. This worked on my desktop and my laptop so I believe it should work for others.
Also using wine 8.18 would cause issues so I'm using wine-ge-latest
optimistic-gold•2y ago
can't relate, I'm using an nvidia card with DLSS and have no crashes or texture issues
also, I don't think the Proton env vars work with wine
deep-jade•2y ago
yeah.. you'd have to be using protonto use those
