Beyond Good and Evil will not boot
I bought this game from GOG for Steam Deck and Linux desctop (Fedora 40 workstation) but it does not boot saying "EAX is not installed, Please install creative EAX" How do I solve this issue?
HTo help you, we need a game log. Please see the following images on how to get it.
DOk here is my game log https://0x0.st/8rLv.log
Atry using either wine-ge or proton-ge
- wine manager in the sidebar, install the latest
- configure it in the game settings
- delete this folder
/home/gamaster_19/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/default/Beyond Good Evil - run the game again
DOk
DI got the same error
Ashare a new log
DOk
DDThis is for the latsist wine GE
Dhttps://0x0.st/8rpg.log Latest Proton GE
Ahmmm, weird, I tried with proton-ge and I got the same error, then I deleted the prefix folder, switched to wine-ge, and now it worked for me
DI did that and I still got the error.
Aone thing I notices comparing your logs with mine is that i have the game mode check disabled in the game settings
Amaybe try that too
AI don't see anything else different apart from that
DOk
DI tried that and I got the same error
DI don't know what the problem is
DI did find someone having the same issue so I will speak with them
Ahere people suggest to get the eax.dll from somewhere else and put it in the game install folder https://www.gog.com/forum/beyond_good_and_evil/launch_error

Ait sounds like something in wine/proton is telling the game that the sound card supports EAX so it wants to use it, but then it fails to run because it can't find that
AI wonder if using an older version of wine-ge makes it work, can you try this?
- install wine-ge 7-43 using the wine manager
- delete the prefix
/home/gamaster_19/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/default/Beyond Good Evil - set wine-ge 7-43 for the game
- launch it
Amaybe an older wine version doesn't make the game think EAX is available
DSame error
