Yakuza 5 Crashing at Cutscenes

So despite multiple reports on ProtonDB saying everything runs with newer Proton versions, I cannot get Yakuza 5 to play the opening cutscene without the game crashing. I've tried multiple Wine-GE versions (5-23 though 5-25, and Wine GE Latest) and Proton GE versions (Proton GE 5-23 though 5-27). I'm using both a Steam Deck and a PC with Nobara 39 (Fedora based). GE 5-23 is a minimum requirement as it has a patch specifically for cutscene audio (older versions the audio would get skipped and out of sync).

we need logs https://discord.com/channels/812703221789097985/1044301598018515105 also is there any reason why are you using such old version? 8-25 is the latest

update heroic, 2.12.0 is the newest and you can do that from the discover store update wine like linguin said

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2y ago

Update my system wine or the wine in the manager?

fair-rose•2y ago

no, update wine from the wine manager make sure to press refresh up at the top

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2y ago

already done that

fair-rose•2y ago

in what way?

fair-rose•2y ago

the refresh button at the top is needed sometimes

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2y ago

went into Heroic>Wine Manager> hit the update arrow circle thing

fair-rose•2y ago

so now you have wine-25 installed, yes?

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2y ago

Did that one both Wine-GE and Proton-GE

fair-rose•2y ago

you need to update it in the game's settings now

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2y ago

Yes I have wine-GE installed and the game is set to use it

fair-rose•2y ago

"name": "Wine - Wine-GE-Proton8-23",

that says otherwise, that's where the confusion is coming from that number on the end should be 25

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2y ago

It must not have updated the log, let me run it again

fair-rose•2y ago

sure thing that log will probably produce a lot of d3d messages, which usually means that d3dcompiler_47 from winetricks is needed, and if that doesn't solve it then d3dcompiler_43

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2y ago

ssg8Hx6.log

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2y ago

ok so d3dcompiler_43 and 47?

fair-rose•2y ago

it's still saying 23 are you sure that in the game settings for yakuza specifically you changed it? globally won't affect it 47 first, then 43 try them one at a time

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2y ago

I have the game specifically get to 5.25

fair-rose•2y ago

5.25?

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2y ago

fair-rose•2y ago

hmmm, and it's still returning 8-23 in the log odd but yeah, go ahead with the d3dcompiler stuff

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2y ago

do I install from winecfg or winetricks?

fair-rose•2y ago

winetricks there's a searchbar in the top you can use

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2y ago

47 first, test, if fails 43

fair-rose•2y ago

yep

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2y ago

still crashes at the cutscene wuth 47 crashed with 43 too

fair-rose•2y ago

new log please

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2y ago

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2y ago

ok that time it says 5-25 The game is launching. What happens is it opens, I see the SEGA splash screen, Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio, "REAL YAKUZA USE A GAME PAD", then it crashes when a video is supposed to play People playing the Steam version don't seem to have this issue at all

fair-rose•2y ago

yeah, that's what i'm seeing as well... this doesn't say that they include anything extra, so that's probably not it https://steamdb.info/app/1105510/depots/ i'm not sure at this point someone else will weigh in if they know

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2y ago

Just my luck to once again have an issue literally no one has ever heard of

fair-rose•2y ago

honestly, i would find it validating

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2y ago

How? I'm sick of constantly have issue with no way to solve them

fair-rose•2y ago

*no way that i know of i would find it validating the same way that going to the doctor is kinda validating sometimes. a "at least i'm not crazy" kind of moment

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2y ago

This has been a problem for me every since I've had a computer. I'll have an issue and no amount of research will find me a solution

stormy-gold•2y ago

@RogueRen try enabling prefer system libraries

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2y ago

...I am angry now

fair-rose•2y ago

did it work?

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2y ago

yes kinda cutscene is playing but freezes every few seconds and the plays fast to catch back up

stormy-gold•2y ago

💀

fair-rose•2y ago

that sounds like cache updates

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2y ago

Audio plays normally

fair-rose•2y ago

if it happens the second time i'd be surprised

distinguished-scarlet•2y ago

it shouldn't be that bad post-3.5

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2y ago

I'm letting it play all the way through then I'll close and run again

fair-rose•2y ago

what is post-3.5?

distinguished-scarlet•2y ago

after SteamOS 3.5

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2y ago

I think they mean Steam OS

fair-rose•2y ago

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2y ago

ok trying the 2nd time nope its still doing it

stormy-gold•2y ago

try disabling fsync

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2y ago

ok using Proton 5-27 and Steam Runtime has fixed the stuttering but there are some artifacts in the video. Weird part is trying this before resulted in the game not playing at all'

stormy-gold•2y ago

Yakuza games have poor threading mostly

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2y ago

trying f-sync off in wine-ge now

distinguished-scarlet•2y ago

don't use Steam Runtime. you won't be able to play in game mode with that enabled

stormy-gold•2y ago

really? 🐸

distinguished-scarlet•2y ago

yep. it conflicts with the game mode runtime

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2y ago

Nope still stuttering

distinguished-scarlet•2y ago

try disabling esync then

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2y ago

reenable fsync or have them both off?

stormy-gold•2y ago

I doubt it will change anything, but it won't hurt to try I guess fsync needs to be disabled too

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2y ago

no change

stormy-gold•2y ago

does it work without steam runtime?

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2y ago

No, crashes at the video

stormy-gold•2y ago

ah I see

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2y ago

I hate these weird special video formats games use

stormy-gold•2y ago

maybe try installing things from __redist directory it's in game folder there should be two C++ runtimes and DirextX

distinguished-scarlet•2y ago

yeah, this is in the realm of trying anything and not knowing what sticks

stormy-gold•2y ago

Wine 8-24 was supposed to fix those issues at this point I'm downloading the game myself hehe

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2y ago

I'm specifically using the version from GoG

stormy-gold•2y ago

I think it's only on GOG and Steam

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2y ago

I don't actually know what that is I've been on linux for over 4 years now lol

stormy-gold•2y ago

just head over to game settings, click on run exe in prefix, navigate to the place where the game is installed and run executables from that dir

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2y ago

its not in __redist ~/Games/Heroic/Yakuza 5/main/Yakuza5.exe

stormy-gold•2y ago

yes but I mean there is ~/Games/Heroic/Yakuza 5/__redist

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2y ago

Yes, but it has no exe files

stormy-gold•2y ago

hmm..

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2y ago

there are 3 folders, DirectX which has a bunch of .cab files and DXSETUP.exe, MSVC2015_x64 which has vcredist_x64.exe, and MSVC2017_x64 which has vcredist_x64.exe

stormy-gold•2y ago

that's correct then run that dxsetup and vcredist

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2y ago

ok. does order matter?

stormy-gold•2y ago

nope

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2y ago

run both vcredist?

stormy-gold•2y ago

yes

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2y ago

2nd one doesn't have install, just repair

stormy-gold•2y ago

it's fine then

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2y ago

ok done wait i did that in the proton prefix dammit no change

stormy-gold•2y ago

I'd say it worked out of the box here latest Wine-GE didn't need to install anything else

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2y ago

seriously? I just installed it today

stormy-gold•2y ago

I'll do another round of tests tomorrow it's pretty late here it started glitching a little when I enabled use of system libraries

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2y ago

I'm fine with a few artifacts, Y4 had that in the opening video but never in game I'm uninstalling everything and starting over, let's see what happens No change after a reinstall If I could use Steam Runtime while in Game mode I would just use Proton GE and it would work, but that doesn't seem like an option I think I may just have to run Yakuza 5 in desktop mode only, or buy it again on Steam.

stormy-gold•17mo ago

@RogueRen I have an update on this setting this env var WINE_DISABLE_SFN=1 in game settings should help
