Warriors of the Nile 2 & Others

On nearly every single game launch I get the following pop-up with message:

Failed to initialize graphics.
Make sure you have DirectX 11 installed, have up to date
drivers for your graphics card and have not disabled
3D acceleration in display settings.
InitializeEngineGraphics failed

Using the flatpak version on Ubuntu. All drivers are up to date, following the instructions on the GitHub. Programs launch flawlessly on other clients such as Lutris.

Already followed the instructions of reinstalling and repairing the launcher in case of missing dependencies. Doesn't change anything Using lutris-ge, GE-proton, or proton makes no difference as a runner. Same issue.

Right, that all looks fine Could you install Wine-GE-latest from the Wine Manager in Heroic & select that in the game settings? Your log seems... strange, the error you mentioned is usually accompanied by messages from DXVK/WineD3D, but there's just nothing in yours

foreign-sapphireOP•2y ago

Already tried that.

xuuiwzG6eQCyJipVr955...

CommandMC•2y ago

Hm, did you delete your Wineprefix (/home/infernal/ExtraDrives/hdd2tb/Games/warriors-of-the-nile-2) after changing versions?

foreign-sapphireOP•2y ago

After changing Wine version? Nope The only game I have been consistently able to launch through HGL is Chrono Trigger.

CommandMC•2y ago

Right, try that then That checks out, it's an OpenGL game as far as I know (so DXVK/VKD3D weirdness doesn't apply here)

foreign-sapphireOP•2y ago

Hmm... Did some more testing. By making a completely new prefix in the default HGL sub-directory and then install the program through HGL, the game will launch. However, if you then move it to a different disk or location on the same disk (updating relevant paths in settings), it won't start. Flatseal was used to manage permissions and HGL was given access to the relevant folders. 🤔 Something seems to be very weird when importing already installed games or when trying to point to a different directory.

CommandMC•2y ago

Huh, that's indeed very odd Could you send in game logs of before & after the move?

foreign-sapphireOP•2y ago

Okay, so from what I'm noticing I can conclude the following behaviour: If you 'add game' for something that's already installed (installed via lutris or similar), it won't launch (except the Chrono Trigger case apparently). If you install the game through HGL it will on first launch go into an endless "launching" loop of the application, but completely closing HGL and restarting will on the next launch instance allow the program to launch and behave as it should 🤔
