Sifu annoying message

After a few minutes of playing, this message appears and my controller and keyboard stop responding. Pressing Back or Confirm just closes the message but my keyboard/controller is still unresponsive. Have to close the game and relaunch it.
Using Debian 12 and umu (Proton-GE latest).

To help you, we need a game log. Please see the following images on how to get it.

The same problem was already reported here but for Steam Deck:
🆘-supportsifu help

I don't get any browser opened with authorization of any kind.

nursing-lime•1/2/25, 10:09 PM

"offlineMode": true,

nursing-lime•1/2/25, 10:09 PM

you won't be able to sign in while offline mode is enabled

wet-aquaOP•1/2/25, 10:11 PM

I already tried without it. Same thing, makes no difference.

colossal-harlequin•1/2/25, 10:11 PM

new log please

wet-aquaOP•1/2/25, 10:12 PM

in another 30 minutes or so. cannot really force the message

nursing-lime•1/2/25, 10:15 PM

"winePrefix": "/home/juraj/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/umu",

wet-aquaOP•1/2/25, 10:16 PM

ok. and?

nursing-lime•1/2/25, 10:17 PM

is this a shared prefix?

wet-aquaOP•1/2/25, 10:18 PM

I intend to use it for multiple games. is that not a good thing?

nursing-lime•1/2/25, 10:18 PM

I recommend against it, and I usually stop assisting those who opt into it

colossal-harlequin•1/2/25, 10:19 PM

it's basically the last thing you want to do with prefixes, is mix them. each prefix is relatively small, and when combined they cause problems for the different programs that use it

wet-aquaOP•1/2/25, 10:20 PM

I haven't used it for any other game at the moment so thanks for the info. I guess I'll just move it than to a sub-directory.

wet-aquaOP•1/3/25, 12:24 AM

I notcied my application Firewall was blocking "wine64-preloader" and "wineserver" so I allowed them. So far I haven't gotten the message. Perhaps that fixed it. However, will I be able to play this offline? It is single player afterall.

colossal-harlequin•1/3/25, 12:24 AM

that's a game to game thing, if it requires being signed in to save, then probably not

colossal-harlequin•1/3/25, 12:24 AM

it's out of our hands

wet-aquaOP•1/3/25, 12:55 AM

so I guess it would have to be modded in some way to allow it

wet-aquaOP•1/3/25, 10:55 AM

I checked the Events in my Firewall and it sas:

Process:

/home/<name>/.config/heroic/tools/proton/Proton-GE-latest/files/bin/wine64-preloader

/home/<name>/.config/heroic/tools/proton/Proton-GE-latest/files/bin/wine64-preloader

Cmdline:

It sends it to "live.tracking.sloclap.net".
It also sends it to "api.epicgames.dev" which I would guess is the authentication but the "tracking" thing worries me (for privacy reasons as it is Linux world).

dry-scarlet•1/3/25, 11:06 AM

heroic doesnt do any tracking

dry-scarlet•1/3/25, 11:06 AM

your games on the other hand could

dry-scarlet•1/3/25, 11:08 AM

sloclap is the developer of sifu btw

dry-scarlet•1/3/25, 11:08 AM

and when you start it up it tells you its doing tracking and you can disable it

dry-scarlet•1/3/25, 11:11 AM

granted not every game lets you opt out of tracking, and most games that have their own launchers track the crap out of you

dry-scarlet•1/3/25, 11:11 AM

also note: achievements are also a form of tracking that developers/publishers use

dry-scarlet•1/3/25, 11:12 AM

but yeah most modern games have telemetry baked in

Ddry-scarlet but yeah most modern games have telemetry baked in

wet-aquaOP•1/3/25, 12:49 PM

no wonder they are never made for Linux

dry-scarlet•1/3/25, 12:55 PM
