witcher enhanced edition doesn't launch

Hello, I seem to have an with some missing dependency(but it might be something else), but I can't figure out what it is. I do have wine dependencies installed (from here https://github.com/lutris/docs/blob/master/WineDependencies.md), and also while trying to search here for an answer I came about

freetype

freetype

freetype

freetype having to be installed, but I have that aswell, in both 64b and 32b. Specifically I get this in my game log

given that you have 1660ti mobile, I think you have to enable use dedicated GPU and Nvidia Prime

sacred-roseOP•2/16/24, 3:21 PM

Hmm as far as I know I should be using dedicated GPU as my primary GPU(so it should presumably be launching with it). But I kinda "solved it" by installing it through lutris, where so far it is running without any issues

didn't Heroic install GOG dependencies?

radical-lime•2/16/24, 6:03 PM

that should be all that is required

Rradical-lime didn't Heroic install GOG dependencies?

sacred-roseOP•2/16/24, 6:16 PM

I do have this in my downloads in heroic, not sure if you mean this or something else. No idea if it's worth mentioning but I play other games from GOG without issues.

try deleting /home/bob/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/default/The Witcher Enhanced Edition/home/bob/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/default/The Witcher Enhanced Edition

radical-lime•2/16/24, 6:17 PM

and run the game again

radical-lime•2/16/24, 6:17 PM

it should recreate the prefix and possibly reinstall the dependencies

sacred-roseOP•2/16/24, 6:19 PM

Nope, still nothing. The log is the same as before

awake-maroon•2/16/24, 9:41 PM

try changing the prefix config to /home/bob/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/The Witcher Enhanced Edition/home/bob/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/The Witcher Enhanced Edition (without the defaultdefault folder)

awake-maroon•2/16/24, 9:42 PM

also try enabling the Use dedicated gpuUse dedicated gpu option

awake-maroon•2/16/24, 9:43 PM

you may want to try with Proton-GE too

sacred-roseOP•2/16/24, 10:23 PM

~~Alright I've jerry rigged a solution, I've just copied the wine prefix from lutris into heroic and it now works~~

A thing that maybe comes to mind is that lutris was saying that the prefix is 32b, and I would presume heroic deals with 64b ones?
Scratch that, the launcher works, but it doesn't get me ingame

Use Wine-GE and install d3dx9_35 using winetricks.

standard-azure•2/16/24, 10:53 PM

I found this here: https://lutris.net/games/install/3964/view

Lutris

The Witcher: Enhanced Edition (GOG.com)

32 bit prefixes suck, there is no real reason for them nowadays

radical-lime•2/16/24, 10:59 PM

I believe you can skip the launcher and just add exe override

radical-lime•2/16/24, 10:59 PM

to launch game directly

standard-azure•2/19/24, 10:57 PM

I bought this game and it does not open.

Sstandard-azure Use Wine-GE and install d3dx9_35 using winetricks.

standard-azure•2/19/24, 11:00 PM

I did try this e don't work.

nursing-lime•2/19/24, 11:15 PM

I'm inclined to not use some of the things gleaned from that script given its age. set Heroic to install the dependencies and redo the prefix. post your game logs as well

standard-azure•2/19/24, 11:20 PM

Dependencies? Which?
