Alan Wake II authenticate failed

I've read through different posts here and in the GE discord but I can't find any solution to this issue. I can get Alan Wake II to launch, then after displaying the Remedy logo it will pop up with an error message "The game failed to connect or authenticate with your Epic account. Third-party overlays may prevent the game from resolving this issue. Please try disabling third-party overlays temporarily and restart the game." I'm using wine-staging 8.15; if I try Wine-GE-latest I instead get a bunch of error messages saying "create fence:", then the application crashes. The logs don't seem to really tell me anything: "(14:32:38) INFO: [Legendary]: Launching Alan Wake 2: DOTNET_BUNDLE_EXTRACT_BASE_DIR= VKD3D_CONFIG=0 HEROIC_APP_NAME=dc9d2e595d0e4650b35d659f90d41059 HEROIC_APP_RUNNER=legendary HEROIC_APP_SOURCE=epic VKD3D_FEATURE_LEVEL=12_2 LD_PRELOAD= WINEPREFIX="/home/daniel/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/Alan Wake 2" WINEDLLOVERRIDES=winemenubuilder.exe=d WINE_FULLSCREEN_FSR=0 WINEFSYNC=1 DXVK_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 DXVK_NVAPI_ALLOW_OTHER_DRIVERS=1 PROTON_EAC_RUNTIME=/home/daniel/.config/heroic/tools/runtimes/eac_runtime ORIG_LD_LIBRARY_PATH= XDG_CONFIG_HOME=/home/daniel/.config/heroic/legendaryConfig /usr/bin/legendary launch dc9d2e595d0e4650b35d659f90d41059 --wine /usr/bin/wine --language en (14:33:03) INFO: [Backend]: Stopping Display Power Saver Blocker" Any ideas here?

get the game log, not the global heroic log, please
deep-jade
deep-jadeOP•2y ago
Sorry, here it is:

remove the environment options, use wine-ge-latest that you can install via heroic, turn on DXVK and VKD3D, but not DXVK NVAPI
deep-jade
deep-jadeOP•2y ago
I wrote earlier, if I use wine-ge-latest I get a bunch of errors and then the game crashes. I can reproduce that and attach that log if you want.
sunny-green
sunny-green•2y ago
yes, please do. do the other things i said as well
deep-jade
deep-jadeOP•2y ago
I should install the d3d compilers and vcrun2002 too right?
sunny-green
sunny-green•2y ago
before you do that delete this directory
/home/daniel/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/Alan Wake 2
deep-jade
deep-jadeOP•2y ago
Yup, already done 🙂
sunny-green
sunny-green•2y ago
then, yes
deep-jade
deep-jadeOP•2y ago
Okay, now I get the crashing instead

esync should probably be on
deep-jade
deep-jadeOP•2y ago
Oh, right, I thought fsync had replaced it with newer kernels.
sunny-green
sunny-green•2y ago
having both on covers them both
deep-jade
deep-jadeOP•2y ago
same error after turning it on
sunny-green
sunny-green•2y ago
post a new log in case

can you list the dll's installed by exact name please?
sunny-green
sunny-green•2y ago
deep-jade
deep-jadeOP•2y ago
It's d3dcompiler_43.dll and d3dcompiler_47.dll + vcrun2022 And yeah, I've followed that...several times... 😄 tried both using vcrun2022 and also downloading and installing the exes from MS, doesnt make a difference as far as I can tell
sunny-green
sunny-green•2y ago
and eos is enabled?
deep-jade
deep-jadeOP•2y ago
well as you can see higher up I have enabled the overlay and it is installed
sunny-green
sunny-green•2y ago
ah, yep my bad
optimistic-gold
optimistic-gold•2y ago
if you switched between wine-ge and proton re enable it
deep-jade
deep-jadeOP•2y ago
sure, can do no difference, still crashes this error seems related to something other than the epic connection though, since it crashes way before that
sunny-green
sunny-green•2y ago
post the log? there might be non-visible differences

disable mangohud for now untill we get it running
deep-jade
deep-jadeOP•2y ago
strange, I disabled it with MANGOHUD=0 but it seems to still want to print some stuff
stormy-gold
stormy-gold•2y ago
should we be enabling NVAPI here? OP has a 3080
sunny-green
sunny-green•2y ago
couldn't hurt ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
deep-jade
deep-jadeOP•2y ago
are we talking about ?

sunny-green•2y ago
yeah, the middle box
deep-jade
deep-jadeOP•2y ago
well, now it first complains about my GPU driver being "too old", then it shows the out of memory errors and crashes
sunny-green
sunny-green•2y ago
what's the driver version?
deep-jade
deep-jadeOP•2y ago
545.23.06; I just rebooted to try 535.113.01 as well though and that also crashed. And as I noted first, with wine-staging instead I do get the logos, so that seems to get further than this...
sunny-green
sunny-green•2y ago
send the new log with the nvapi option enabled always send a new log after changes suggested
deep-jade

sunny-green•2y ago
my thinking is that here we are pretty decent at troubleshooting with our versions of wine and it's odd to work with another one. we know the error messages and such
deep-jade
deep-jadeOP•2y ago
allright
optimistic-gold
optimistic-gold•2y ago
verify game files File 'Z:\run\media\daniel\Kingston\Heroic\AlanWake2\/sl.common.dll' does not have the secondary NVIDIA signature - Streamline will not load unsecured modules this seems odd
deep-jade
deep-jadeOP•2y ago
Yeah, I noticed that too. I have verified earlier tho, it goes superfast so I'm nto sure it does anything? Did it again now, took like a second.
sunny-green
sunny-green•2y ago
i've seen this happen a lot where it finishes instantly, i think it's a bug. can you share the heroic log after attempting to verify?
deep-jade
deep-jadeOP•2y ago
Sure.
optimistic-gold
optimistic-gold•2y ago
yeah, there is a bug, you might need to run the command manually
deep-jade
deep-jadeOP•2y ago
ah okay how do I do that? using legendary cli?
sunny-green
sunny-green•2y ago
there's a command that's running inside of heroic when you try to verify the game. if you share the log i can point to the exact line

no changes when launcing
sunny-green
sunny-green•2y ago
if you run it again it will probably not skip based on resume data since it finished? i think?
optimistic-gold
optimistic-gold•2y ago
yeah, if it found 254 files and interrupted download something is wrong and it didn't finish properly
deep-jade
deep-jadeOP•2y ago
sure, ill run it again same message as before should I try to just download the entire thing again?
sunny-green
sunny-green•2y ago
That's the only thing I can think of, but linguin is magic so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
optimistic-gold
optimistic-gold•2y ago
see if there is a hidden file in game directory .legendary-resume or something
deep-jade
deep-jadeOP•2y ago
well I've already uninstalled and re-downlading right now 😛 I've decent internet, it'll only take around 20-30 mins Nah, exactly the same as before no file with a name like that as far as I can tell

I have not read replies so sorry if this is now sorted, however you need to go to the global settings and firsdt install the EOS overlay in heroic. Once this has been done if you go into the game settings and press the 3 dots in the top right , select enable EOS overlay. That shoul sort that out for you.
