use wine, delete the prefix directory, don't change any other settings, try again

plain-purpleOP•2y ago

Switching to Wine Default 8.18 Staging works but 17 FPS max

optimistic-gold•2y ago

use wine-latest from the wine manager in heroic

plain-purpleOP•2y ago

ProtonGE won't work?

optimistic-gold•2y ago

no probably not

plain-purpleOP•2y ago

Wine-GE-Latest?

optimistic-gold•2y ago

yes make sure you delete this directory

/home/apoorv/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/The Evil Within 2

from your machine it will be recreated by heroic

plain-purpleOP•2y ago

Ok deleted. Trying again now.

optimistic-gold•2y ago

post a new log if it doesn't work also, drag and drop the file into discord instead of posting the text

plain-purpleOP•2y ago

looks like its working now. getting 60+ FPS

optimistic-gold•2y ago

wack

plain-purpleOP•2y ago

What's wrong with ProtonGE with this game?

optimistic-gold•2y ago

will you mark this thread as solved?

plain-purpleOP•2y ago

OK.

optimistic-gold•2y ago

oh, it's not this game specifically, there are only 4 games that i know of that work with proton inside of heroic proton is meant to be used with steam and steam only with very few exceptions

plain-purpleOP•2y ago

I see. So if a game doesn't work I should try Wine-GE instead?

optimistic-gold•2y ago

you should make wine-ge the default for heroic

plain-purpleOP•2y ago

Ah! That's why it said,

[S_API FAIL] SteamAPI_Init() failed; connect to global user failed.

[S_API FAIL] SteamAPI_Init() failed; connect to global user failed.

optimistic-gold•2y ago

well, no

plain-purpleOP•2y ago

I see. OK will do.

optimistic-gold•2y ago

proton also doesn't really log anything, so that message doesn't really mean anything

plain-purpleOP•2y ago

I see. Well, thanks! I will change the default to Wine-GE for heroic.

optimistic-gold•2y ago

sick, glad it works!
