Hm
probable-pinkβ’5mo ago
"location": "Application could not be started, or no application associated with the specified file.\nShellExecuteEx failed:Internal error."this feels the most weird to me. why is there a shell execute?
firm-tanOPβ’5mo ago
I get that error in the GUI too

generous-apricotβ’5mo ago
okay I don't own the game but look
WINEDLLOVERRIDES=ddraw=n,b;dinput=n,b
firm-tanOPβ’5mo ago
Oh hey that worked
What does that do?
generous-apricotβ’5mo ago
just tells wine to use dlls from game directory instead of built in ones
:rollsafe:
ddraw and dinput in particular
firm-tanOPβ’5mo ago
Gotcha, thank you:)
generous-apricotβ’5mo ago
keep us posted if videos work
Resident Evil's don't work to this day
firm-tanOPβ’5mo ago
I'm at work and I probably should be doing work but hm, let me check anyway
probable-pinkβ’5mo ago
i feel that lol
generous-apricotβ’5mo ago
oh I don't mean right now
you know what I'll patch this into UMU
firm-tanOPβ’5mo ago
I think they're working?

firm-tanOPβ’5mo ago

generous-apricotβ’5mo ago
yep
nice
fascinating-indigoβ’5mo ago
im new to this side of linux gaming is there a place like protondb for these other games? or is it just wine, cuz ive been looking for this fix all day, and i wanna at least toss this fix into such a place.
firm-tanOPβ’5mo ago
Linguin said they'll do a PR to umu, once that's in umu, the fix will automatically be applied to your game without any manual intervention
But yes, there's an umu database, let me go grab the link
fascinating-indigoβ’5mo ago
OH THATS AWESOME,
i thought they were just making an expression
thanks a ton for the info!
firm-tanOPβ’5mo ago
Database link: https://umu.openwinecomponents.org/
Database repo: https://github.com/Open-Wine-Components/umu-database?tab=readme-ov-file
Dino crisis isn't there yet ofc but you can see other games as an example
Oh actually it's there now, funny timing, watched the repo update in real time with that one π
fascinating-indigoβ’5mo ago
the only thing im stuck on now is trying to match your config to get the movies, cuz i just tried winege latest and proton get 9-22 and 23
investigation timeπ¦
firm-tanOPβ’5mo ago
Umu's enabled as well? It's a manual config for now, will be automatic next heroic update afaik
fascinating-indigoβ’5mo ago
OH, that i do not have, that gives me a ton of ammo to figure it ouit
Wine-GE is rather old now (last release is almost a year ago) and thus might not work correctly. Please follow these instructions on using GE-Proton with umu instead:
1. Head to the Wine Manager in Heroic, click the "Proton-GE" tab, and install "Proton-GE-Latest"
2. Enable umu in "Settings" (Heroic sidebar) -> "Advanced" -> "Use UMU as Proton runtime"
Note: For a visual guide, see attached image
3. Head to the settings for your game(s) (icon on game card in library). In the "Wine Version" dropdown, select "Proton - Proton-GE-latest"
4. Rename your Wineprefix (path is shown in game settings), e.g. from
current-name
to current-name_bak
. To clarify: Rename the actual folder on your hard drive, do not change the option in the game settings.
Note: This will make game-specific configuration data (e.g. in-game settings or save files) unavailable. If this is an issue, let us know & we'll help you restore them.

good bot
thanks for your patience my dude, ill review it better
like-goldβ’5mo ago
Where would I type that command? (i am new to linux)
generous-apricotβ’5mo ago
this is an environment variable
you can set it in Heroic game settings
in advanced tab
like-goldβ’5mo ago
ok cool
will have to set it up when I get home
This worked for me thank you
passive-yellowβ’5mo ago
Where exactly in the advance tab? In which box ?
generous-apricotβ’5mo ago
like I said
in game settings
passive-yellowβ’5mo ago
I mean where IN the advance tab, not where is the advance tab. Does that make sense?
flat-fuchsiaβ’5mo ago
where it says "Environment variables"

flat-fuchsiaβ’5mo ago
WINDLLOVERRIDES is the variable name
ddraw=n,b;dinput=n,b is the value
passive-yellowβ’4mo ago
No spaces, right?
flat-fuchsiaβ’4mo ago
yeah, no spaces, no quotes, just that
generous-apricotβ’4mo ago
you can just paste everything in NAME field
it will get split automatically for you
firm-tanOPβ’4mo ago
For anyone who sees this thread, download the latest Proton-GE version (24) and the fixes here will be done automatically if umu is also enabled
generous-apricotβ’4mo ago
:woohoo:
