Cyberpunk 2077 2.2(1) with RedMod enabled exits a second after launching and before GOG Launcher.

I posted an update to the GitHub issue someone else posted. Basically you can install an enable RedMod and it won't start the game. Disabled starts just fine. https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher/issues/4176 I'm on the Flatpak version running in Bazzite which is basically Fedora SteamOS.

Tried a few more combinations of the things I mentioned in the github post to no avail. Anyone else able to help spitball as to the cause? Booted to windows and had gog galaxy install 2.2. It boots fine with redmod there. Copied the files to my Linux folder and no dice so I guess we can rule out a download/reverify issue. Confirmed on Steam Deck as well. Lutris appears to work with RedMod enabled, comes up with the initiating mods screen.

could you send the heroic log and the game log
flat-fuchsia
flat-fuchsiaOP9mo ago
Yeah I'll give it a shot. Currently have lutris installed on my Bazzite install. I'll try and transfer the Heroic folders from my Steam Deck or do it direct from there if I can find my usb-c hub

nvm i think i know what the issue is and the original person posted the log
flat-fuchsia
flat-fuchsiaOP9mo ago
Yeah, they're not running flatpak though I just noticed that earlier when I went through their logs agin.
frail-apricot
frail-apricot9mo ago
i don't think it makes a difference in this case
flat-fuchsia
flat-fuchsiaOP9mo ago
Ok
frail-apricot
frail-apricot9mo ago
it works when you have more than zero mods right ? otherwise it's probably a different issue
flat-fuchsia
flat-fuchsiaOP9mo ago
I wouldn't know Haven't been able to manage them properly with Heroic broken.

wdym broken the game not launching ? (idk how redmod works)
flat-fuchsia
flat-fuchsiaOP9mo ago
Yeah. So redmod allows types of mods to install. Its the official format. Without it enabled some mods won't function. Most managers require the game to start with redmod at least once.

frail-apricot9mo ago
you have to install it through the game ? oooh got it
flat-fuchsia
flat-fuchsiaOP9mo ago
It's a Cyberpunk DLC from the store.
frail-apricot
frail-apricot9mo ago
yeah that much i know thankfully ok try this https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher/pull/4229 idk if it will work because of how u said it needs to launch with redmod enabled i mean it still might but this just avoids gogdl from crashing by picking the wrong preferred task

@OOOOOF123 how would I do that via flatpak?
frail-apricot
frail-apricot9mo ago
it hasn't finished building the flatpak yet it takes a while but basically u just download the flatpak file
flat-fuchsia
flat-fuchsiaOP9mo ago
I see that now. Apparently that page had some new javascript I had to allow for the nested operations.
frail-apricot

u can check that u are running the correct one by going to the advanced tab in the game settings and checking if disable UMU runtime checkbox is there
flat-fuchsia
flat-fuchsiaOP9mo ago
Is that the default behavior to run a UMU runtime check? This happens with UMU launcher disabled.
frail-apricot
frail-apricot9mo ago
no we just changed where the setting is since 2.15.2 (and also enabled umu by default) so if the setting moved you are on the correct version

flat-fuchsiaOP9mo ago
Ok Still seems to be the one installed from my main app store despite grabbing the one off github
frail-apricot
frail-apricot9mo ago
you might have to run it using terminal so that it picks the correct one or you can uninstall the main one and reinstall it later
flat-fuchsia
flat-fuchsiaOP9mo ago
Yeah that's what I did. right before your message. Looks like it's right now. Going to try moving the Heroic installed folders from my Steam Deck to my Desktop so I don't have to wait 4 hours to test. @OOOOOF123 Just got them moved over both the game files and prefix folder no dice yet. Going to try a verify and try again. If that doesn't work I'll post logs. @OOOOOF123 Didn't help.

@OOOOOF123 I was able to get some mods installed manually and Heroic sees them in the RedMod window but still has the same behavior.

@Linguin maybe you know what is broken ?
flat-fuchsia
flat-fuchsiaOP9mo ago
Personally I'm wondering if it's something in the WinePrefixes.

seems like gogdl bug
frail-apricot
frail-apricot9mo ago
yeah for some reason it's getting the wrong preferred task

I feel like we should remove the Redmod integration all together just use the toggle on red launcher that should also bootstrap the mods so turn off mods here and enable them in launcher
frail-apricot
frail-apricot9mo ago
the redmod thing is only for cyberpunk right ?
absent-sapphire
absent-sapphire9mo ago
yeah
frail-apricot
frail-apricot9mo ago
lol yeah probably should remove it
absent-sapphire
absent-sapphire9mo ago
yep
flat-fuchsia
flat-fuchsiaOP9mo ago
I'll try that now I have some manually installed to see if it'll work. Previously the initializing mods pop up did not show when I did that, but it did in lutris when empty. Looks like it does.
