Honkai Star Rail
Hello, I've been trying to get star rail to work on my Fedora 39 laptop and while I know it has a pretty intrusive anti cheat I saw people managing to make Genshin run using heroic back in august so I thought I'd give it a try.
However after installing the game and making a prefix, it instantly crashes when trying to run it and looking at the log files it seems like wine didn't manage to instantiate correctly same with kerberos
Admittedly, I don't know how to fix either of these things, or even what kerberos is, as it's the first time I try to play a game outside of steam on linux. I attached the log file.
Any idea on how I can fix these issues appearing in the log files is welcome, though being a hoyo game I'm fully prepared for it to be impossible to run on linux

it has anti cheat afaik

oh my bad i thought i attached the file
eastern-cyanOP•2y ago
it does which is why i'm not fully confident to be able to get it working but since i've seen other people managing to make genshin work i thought why not give it a try
rival-black•2y ago
yeah genshin started to work recently
last time I tried honkai star rail it had kernel level anti cheat
so it required some extra salt like genshin used to

there's a good chance it still does, but reading the game log from what i understand not everything is set up correctly (at least i think)
xenial-black•2y ago
I don't see either anti cheat option enabled, you could try them one at a time
rival-black•2y ago
it's not a standard anti cheat @RawToast
it's a custom one with kernel level driver
no chance to get it to run in Wine, unless you use the extra salt I mentioned
xenial-black•2y ago
Okay. I didn't understand the kernel driver stuff. That seems like a deal breaker to me lol
Thanks for explaining it

and the extra salt is basically patching the game to disable anti cheat (high risk of ban)

Genshin works out of the box, but I think Honkai still requires the Honkers launcher
eastern-cyanOP•2y ago
yeaah looking for fixes online i found a custom launcher specifically for the game which bypasses the anti cheat
yeah this one
oh well looks like i'll just play on my phone until it runs on linux well
thanks!

I gave another try with similar results.
They made Genshin fully playable, but Star Rail still need "fixes" that can cause being struck by banhammer.
HoYoVerse is acting weird.
