deathloop wont launch

Hello all, im pretty new to gaming in linux, so i decided to give it a go, ive ran into some problems however

I installed Deathloop through heroic because i had gotten it on a day it was free in epic games. ive tried running it with proton and wine and i always get this issue: (photo attatched). i clicked on the "report an issiue running this game" button and the result of that is in the text file attatched.

previously, i had been able to run it perfectly with proton-ge-proton8-27, but now it doesnt even work with that. when i click the link, i get a website that just says that my game purchase cannot be validated successfully.

any help would be appreciated. thank you all for your time

if it helps, im running the R5 3600 rx5700xt 16gb ram and im running arch as my primary OS

don't use proton, use wine-ge, wine 8.21 (or even staging) won't work for this game

wet-aqua•1/14/24, 5:42 AM

and repair the game just in case

wet-aqua•1/14/24, 5:42 AM

it works well

dry-scarlet•1/14/24, 5:48 AM

you hit the denouvo activation limit

dry-scarlet•1/14/24, 5:48 AM

you have to wait 24 hours to try again

dry-scarlet•1/14/24, 5:51 AM

Also for me this game doesnt run with any wine type except old proton-ge 7-18

what?

wet-aqua•1/14/24, 5:52 AM

this was my tester game for my atiadlxx implementation

wet-aqua•1/14/24, 5:52 AM

it works on litterally anything with amd_ags or a competent atiadlxx

wet-aqua•1/14/24, 5:52 AM

I was running it on 9.0-rc1 staging

dry-scarlet•1/14/24, 5:53 AM

yep doesnt work at all for me

wet-aqua•1/14/24, 5:53 AM

are you on AMD?

dry-scarlet•1/14/24, 5:53 AM

it gets stuck in what looks lik equerying the driver version

dry-scarlet•1/14/24, 5:53 AM

yep

wet-aqua•1/14/24, 5:53 AM

try WINEDLLOVERRIDES="amd_ags_x64=n"

wet-aqua•1/14/24, 5:53 AM

if not just compile my wine :sunglase:

dry-scarlet•1/14/24, 5:54 AM

hah ill give it a shot

wet-aqua•1/14/24, 6:07 AM

did it work?

dry-scarlet•1/14/24, 6:09 AM

Wine hung and blew up ahah I think unrelated to this

dry-scarlet•1/14/24, 6:10 AM

Sometimes steam being open makes wine go bonkers. So rebooting

dry-scarlet•1/14/24, 6:11 AM

Like ive had cases where wine wouldnt work at all in heroic until steam was closed

no idea what steam is doing tbh

dry-scarlet•1/14/24, 6:15 AM

hm yeah it just hangs trying to create the prefix folder

wet-aqua•1/14/24, 6:16 AM

prolly unrelated

dry-scarlet•1/14/24, 6:16 AM

wonder what sup hah

dry-scarlet•1/14/24, 6:16 AM

nothing very exciting in the logs either

wet-aqua•1/14/24, 6:20 AM

maybe just delete the folder

dry-scarlet•1/14/24, 6:21 AM

yeah thats what i did to start

dry-scarlet•1/14/24, 6:21 AM

deleted prefix, changed wine to latest, put in env var, launched

wet-aqua•1/14/24, 6:22 AM

could you send a log?

wet-aqua•1/14/24, 6:22 AM

does it just straight up get stuck on launching

dry-scarlet•1/14/24, 6:32 AM

yeah it just hangs trying ot create the prefix

dry-scarlet•1/14/24, 6:33 AM

log is pretty empty but sure haha

dry-scarlet•1/14/24, 6:34 AM

took out the env var, tried to open winetricks, hangs on creation of prefix

dry-scarlet•1/14/24, 6:34 AM

so seems something else is up

dry-scarlet•1/14/24, 6:35 AM

there's about 200GB free on that drive

wet-aqua•1/14/24, 6:39 AM

Usually fix for me in this situation is a reboot or restarting heroic :CatYeah:

dry-scarlet•1/14/24, 6:45 AM

yes and same results

dry-scarlet•1/14/24, 6:45 AM

turns out had a dvd in a drive that made the system unhappy (udev was hanging)

dry-scarlet•1/14/24, 6:48 AM

so with your env var, just loads blank screen, also with wine-ge latest it tells me windows 10 version isnt high enough ahaha

seems to spin on detecting devices.. ime also, changing windows version in wine doesnt really change anything either

wet-aqua•1/14/24, 5:06 PM

Do you have wine staging?

wet-aqua•1/14/24, 5:07 PM

Change the windows version to windows 11

dry-scarlet•1/14/24, 10:17 PM

Have 8 staging which still has wrong 10. But even tweaking the win 10 subversion to pass this check doesnt change the outcome

dry-scarlet•1/14/24, 10:18 PM

But proton 7-28 works fine. No win version errors either

dry-scarlet•1/14/24, 10:18 PM

So probably a regression

dry-scarlet•1/14/24, 10:18 PM

Protondb also notes that you have to use old wine

Ddry-scarlet Protondb also notes that you have to use old wine

wet-aqua•1/14/24, 10:37 PM

works on my machine

with new wine

Ddry-scarlet Have 8 staging which still has wrong 10. But even tweaking the win 10 subversion...

wet-aqua•1/14/24, 10:38 PM

did you try winecfg -v win11 on wine staging 9.0-rc5?
