Heavy Rain Facial animation glitch playing with Epic games in Heroic Launcher
Log File(https://0x0.st/8iV3.log)
Please help me.
I have a game "Heavy Rain" in Epic games. and I want to play game in Steam Deack.
So I tried to play with Heroic Launcher.
But There is problem.
Problem is that all charactor facial animation repeat wierd.
I can't focus on playing game, because this is so funny. ㅜ_ㅜ
Anyway, I figure it out that "xaudio2_7.dll" file has problem. (I found it ProtonDB web site.)
So I put below code in Heroic launcher, but not working.
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="xaudio2_7=n,b"
When I try with "xaudio2_7=n" (it is mean Native), facial glitch is fixed, but no sound, though.
Please kindly help me.

heavy rain has weird faces, are you sure it's not just a result of it being a david cage game?
other-emeraldOP•6mo ago
lol. No. It is glitch. I can say, it is funnier much more than before. Character mouth dose not sync with their voice. and repeat wierd.

I just played and uploaded.
Sorry to rush you, but I just wonder. Is it possible to fix it?
conscious-sapphire•6mo ago
like i said earlier its possible its a game bug
this is more or less out of the realm of a heroic thing
what does the glitch look like
other-emeraldOP•6mo ago
Oh, Ok, I understand. When I play Heavy Rain in Window 11, There was not glitch. It might be problem with Proton. Thanks. I will ask Pronton engineer. By the way, glitch is that all character facial movement is repeat weird when they talk. I found the reason and how to fix (as I wrote in post), but not working in Heroic. so I asked.
xenial-black•6mo ago
Are you able to record or screenshot what it looks like?
Nvm you figured the issue. Missed
other-emeraldOP•5mo ago
Oh, Sorry for late reply. I thought it is not available to fix it. Thanks for asking.
Please kindly check attached video clip.
First one is Facial animation bug.
Second one is Normal.
As I mentioned, It is bug with "xaudio2_7.dll"
you can find about this glitch also in below web site.

and Facial bug with Epic games in Heroic launcher in Steam deck
and Normal versioin with Epic games in Window11 Laptop.
conscious-sapphire•5mo ago
looks like your old log links expired can you post new one
other-emeraldOP•5mo ago
conscious-sapphire•5mo ago
and with the xaudio flag?
other-emeraldOP•5mo ago
I am sorry, but I don't know the reason why new log is not updated.
other-emeraldOP•5mo ago
here it is.
conscious-sapphire•5mo ago
have you installed xaudio in winetricks? no idea if that will help
other-emeraldOP•5mo ago
other-emeraldOP•5mo ago
when I checked with WINECFG, it already has xaudio2_7.dll.
So I checked in WINETRICKS it has only xaudio29.
so I just installed xaudio29 as you mentioned.
But still same.
If I play with "xaudio2_7=n" -> it means 'native'
Facial bug is fixed, but there is not sound.
I think there is problem with transform n to b (native -> built in)
here is new log file.
Oh, there is Heavy rain Demo in Epic games, so you can play and check with that. Demo version has same problem.
conscious-sapphire•5mo ago
interestingly, it seems to play as if there's 5.1 audio in stereo mode.. you can hear some voices on the left right channels but all the talking goes through the center, which doesnt exist
at least thats what it sounds like to me
other-emeraldOP•5mo ago
Oh, did you play? Soumd is good as you say. So, facial glitch is more unfortunate. ㅜㅜ
conscious-sapphire•5mo ago
no what i said is with the xaudio flag i can still hear voices but its pretty low as if there's no center channel
other-emeraldOP•5mo ago
Oh, I understand. ^^;;;
conscious-sapphire•5mo ago
so yeah it sounds like its got the audio channels all messed up , so sure mouth moves right but its not playing the dialogue through the right audio channels
other-emeraldOP•5mo ago
Oh.. That's weird. In steam deck, sound has no problem, but there is Facial animation bug. It's same when play with xaudio flag.
conscious-sapphire•5mo ago
wait you are saying facial animation bug remains with xaudio flag and no audio?
what exactly is your problem?
other-emeraldOP•5mo ago
1. with "xaudio2_7=n,b" flag -> Facial animation bug.
2. with "xaudio2_7=n" flag -> Bug fixed but no sound at all. mute.
conscious-sapphire•5mo ago
right this is what im saying is the case
except its not really mute its still audible if you listen carefully, its just very very quiet
as if its not playing on the right speaker channel
other-emeraldOP•5mo ago
Oh.. In steam deck, That is not possible. As I attached screen shot, it can't catch any sound device. No sound output.
conscious-sapphire•5mo ago
i think you are still misunderstanding me
i am experiencing the same as you, but i am pretty sure the sound is just very quiet not non existant, and im suggesting the problem is that the game doesnt know how to properly put audio on the right speaker channels
other-emeraldOP•5mo ago
Oh, you mean, with "xaudio2_7=n" flag, you can hear tiny sound. right? Ok.
In my case, I can't hear any sound even with earphone.
Might be, I am too old..
Anyway, is there any solutions with Heroic??

It is "xaudio2_7=n" log file.
