PGR installing but not launching
Hello, I've been trying to install and play PGR on my Fedora laptop and the installer ran perfectly well however once I selected the game executable and tied to run it with the latest proton-ge version it closed almost immediately
Looking at the logs it's saying it didn't find a running steam instance even though steam is running in the background
I also know for a fact that the game can run on Linux as several fairly recent guides on how to make it work on the steamdeck exist but I haven't had success yet

If I try running it using the latest wine-ge version instead I get different logs

do you have a gpu? if you don't have a gpu it probably won't work..
correct-apricotOP•17mo ago
i don't my laptop only has integrated graphics but i figured it'd probably still work since it doesn't look like a demanding game
conscious-sapphire•17mo ago
maybe? i don't know, but we can try
i'm seeing ntdll messages in there which indicate gpu issues, but it is also really vague lol
first, try deleting the prefix, then make sure you have the dependencies mentioned in #:pushpin: Read Me First | Frequently Asked Questions then try launching the game again, but from here on out only stick with Wine and not Proton
also turn off use game mode unless you know you need it (for example in conjunction with anti-cheat)

ooh i didn't know ntdll issues indicated gpu problems, i'm using the flatpak version of heroic so i'll try to reinstall it then recreate the prefix, though the game will need to be redownloaded inside it so it could take a few minutes
i also don't really know what gamemode does it was on by default and i just kept it
conscious-sapphire•17mo ago
you don't need to reinstall the game to recreate the prefix, just delete the prefix directory
/home/johan/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/default/PGRprobably we can turn off use game mode, then
correct-apricotOP•17mo ago
but the game was installed inside the prefix wasn't it? the files were in
/home/johan/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/default/PGR/drive_c/Punishing Gray Ravenconscious-sapphire•17mo ago
oh, you're absolutely right
i forgot how this was structured, it's always that way with a launcher innit
correct-apricotOP•17mo ago
though it's convenient how there's the option to run an installer inside a prefix before choosing the executable in heroic
conscious-sapphire•17mo ago
switching between wine and proton creates problems, so make sure you just stay on wine
correct-apricotOP•17mo ago
gotcha
i'm guessing there are other component for running windows applications in wine over proton?
cause ik wine has proton integrated
conscious-sapphire•17mo ago
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
i don't know the specifics
correct-apricotOP•17mo ago
okay the installation is done and i gave the path towards the launcher to heroic and it can launch it but once i try to actually play the game the launch disappears before reappearing, in the logs i see an invalid usage for the arguments so maybe that's what causing the issue
correct-apricotOP•17mo ago
there're also a few ole errors with class objects
conscious-sapphire•17mo ago
game mode is on still, the ole errors haven't ever been a problem in the past
correct-apricotOP•17mo ago
oh right i forgot to uncheck game mode
it still does the same with the same logs mmm
i wonder if there's anti cheat in this game i haven't checked
adverse-sapphire•16mo ago
any luck getting the game running mate?
