Return to castle wolfenstein crashing/not launching
First log is when using wine-9.0, second proton 9.0
When using any proton (I've tried 9.0, experimental and GEProton9-18 a window pops up and dissapears quickly, with wine my monitor changes resolution and a wine error is displayed (winecrashlog.txt). Also attaching heroic logs.

oh, it's mint
are you sure you're up to date with your drivers?
sensitive-blueOP•6mo ago
which ones specifically, graphic drivers?
quickest-silver•6mo ago
yes, sorry
sensitive-blueOP•6mo ago

fair-rose•6mo ago
i think nvidia stable is at 565 fwiw
sensitive-blueOP•6mo ago
im using the one recommended one from the built in cinnamon/mint driver manager
sensitive-blueOP•6mo ago
fair-rose•6mo ago
yeah mint is very out of date usually
sensitive-blueOP•6mo ago
so you recommend getting 565?

you probably want to log the output of the game first.. proton doesnt create logs by default so you can try PROTON_LOG=1 in the environment variable section
it'll put the log either in your home directory or in the ~/.var/ heroic directory
quickest-silver•6mo ago
no, do this instead
WINEDEBUG=+fixme
that will add the log to the same log you've been submitting

fair-rose•6mo ago
that's fine
are you in desktop mode?
oh mint right
sorry i was in another thread with a steam deck ahha
have you checked your wine dependencies
Install Wine Dependencies by following this guide
If this does not immediately resolve your issue, you might also have to delete your Wineprefix (by default it's in
~/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/default/<game name>)
Alternatively, you can use the Flatpak version of Heroic: https://flathub.org/apps/com.heroicgameslauncher.hglsensitive-blueOP•6mo ago
up to date
deleted wineprefix and same behaviour

could try turning on nvapi but i dont expect that'll do much
sensitive-blueOP•6mo ago

logging off for today, if there are any more ideas ill be more than thankful, if not thanks anyways ❤️
fair-rose•6mo ago
yeah atm i dont have any thoughts i should see if i have this game
nope just new order
sensitive-blueOP•6mo ago
my friend told me some time ago that the game is pretty broken and needed fixes to work on windows so maybe its the games itself fault?
fair-rose•6mo ago
could be, its basically crashing
you could probably apply the same fixes windows does
sensitive-blueOP•6mo ago
ill try it tomorrow, thanks
sensitive-blueOP•6mo ago
turns out its just the typical old game code not working with new hardware, works on standard proton 9.0
