do a verify/repair on the game, sounds like your download corrupted
these are files shipped with the game.

I'm testing the game and I have the same issue, no idea what's wrong but it doesn't seem to be an issue with the file itself, something else make it fail to import but there's not really that much info (I guess doing some wine debugging could work, but I don't know that much)
inland-turquoise•2y ago
fwiw this game works fine for me on steam
the logs show its missing a unity player dll.. or at least having problems loading it.. so sounds like some kind of incomplete download
or corrupt file
absent-sapphire•2y ago
Or missing libraries that need to be installed and the installer is stored in the game data itself?
Ariel did you checked the gamefolder already for some executable?

i mean unityplayer.dll is unity's game library to run games built on unity, this is always distributed with the game
mostly because different versions of unity (or the dev could have a custom build of unity) require it to be paired with their version of the engine.. so this is not a globally distributed thing
sensitive-blue•2y ago
nothing to install from the game files
I tested again today, no idea if the game got an update or wath but it doesn't crash with that error loading the dll, but it's back to the original problem I had with it many months ago: don't load most assets, it's unplayable
(yesterday I tried repairing and reinstalling and nothing fixed the dll issue, today that's gone)
inland-turquoise•2y ago
yeah it shouldnt be something to install it should be part of the game install
exotic-emeraldOP•2y ago
OK, I managed to make it launch relatively easily through Lutris, I had to set some things after the first launch to be able to launch it a second time but it seems to work well. So I dunno what the problem is with the way my Heroic install does it...
inland-turquoise•2y ago
i guess you didnt verify your install
missing the unityplayer.dll is a sign that the dl is corrupt
exotic-emeraldOP•2y ago
I installed/reinstalled like a dozen times... :/
inland-turquoise•2y ago
did you verify install
like hit the actual button that says "verify install"
sensitive-blue•2y ago
I don't think it's a problem with files, I had the same issue, and only for that game
something's off with that game
lutris might be doing something we don't
I had a bunch of different results testing it:
- crashes with the unity error
- white boxes after the logos and unusable
- menu visible but no text after logos
- no logos at all
- visual glitches when things move in the screen
I tried a bunch of things but this game seems to do something weird to cause that many different problems

just saying, unityplayer.dll is generated from a game build when a developer builds a release version of the game.. its not a library you just add like the vcruntime. It has to come from the unity build process and be matched to the version of the engine the game is built against.. its usually packaged by the developer and shipped with the game's installer.
thus if its missing, the game didnt install properly.. it really sounds like those bugs you describe are what would happen if the game's files are not all there.
at least in a unity game, missing textures or text or other weird things like that, typically means assets are missing
unity on a pc will keep going through errors like that because they are semi recoverable, but ultimately it all compounds and probably will crash
fwiw this game works perfectly for me on steam, so once all the data is there, it does work fine.

I didn't save it, but when I was trying to get this game working on my system, I came across a thread on the Steam "Discussions" forum for the game mentioning that an (at the time recent) update broke font rendering under Proton.
Off-topic, but my favourite is the Valheim dedicated server constantly spewing graphics-related errors.
inland-turquoise•2y ago
you never want to look at a unity game's error log ahha
the engine lets so much slide that its amazing anything runs in those states
sensitive-blue•2y ago
the file was not missing, it was there, something makes it fail to load sometimes and I have different errors every time, but I don't know more than that, I don't know how to debug those things at the wine level
I just know that it's not a matter of verify and repair for this game, something else is going on because you reinstall the game days appart and you have a new problem, you verify and repair and nothing changes
inland-turquoise•2y ago
from what i could tell the log said missing and no info on whether that file was on disk or not
so could be that its somehow not able to see the files.. which is weird since plenty of other unity games have no problems
exotic-emeraldOP•2y ago
Yes the file was there

Hi,
I had the same problem with this game. At first i got an unityplayer.dll error at start. Then i saw this post and tried it on my own with different steps. Now i got an even bigger error... yes i f*** it up.
Now I get even more errors:

I also get a second error from wine:
https://pastebin.com/FAh3Xk14
I tried a repair, reinstall from the game an heroic. I searched for all the files and deleted it. I tinkered with the setting, because someone could play it with lutris, without DXVK or with steam. I tried different wine versions with and without proton and i tried some settings with winetricks.

this games is weird and it's not installed correctly with Heroic YET, if you know how to you can use the build from this PR https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher/pull/3020 or wait for a future release of heroic

Just a little Update and a more funny behavior:
I can "start" the game now and it show me the "Intro" but before the main menu load, the game crash again.
