Horizon zero dawn failed to load DLL on steamdeck

Hi, I tried with proton-ge latest. The game won't start, and the log says it cannot find a running steam instance. I tried with wine-ge latest. The log says it cannot load a DLL file. There was no prompt for installing a msvs runtime distribution. I got my horizon zero dawn from GOG. Thanks

Install that DLL using Winetricks

Where can I find the DLL?

like-gold•4mo ago

Type in the name in the box that shows up when you click Winetricks in the game settings window

ugly-tanOP•4mo ago

Ah...I get what you mean 😄. But I couldn't find winetricks on my steamdeck. I can install protontricks using Discover but it won't discover non-steam games. I couldn't find a way to install winetricks on my steamdeck

You don’t need to install anything. Just look at the game settings in Heroic

ugly-tanOP•4mo ago

I see. I found the winetricks gui option. But I found the msvcrun 2015-2019 is already installed. I also went to the wineprefix folder and found a mscvcp140.dll file. I tried reinstalling the vcrun2015-2019 but it doesn't solve the issue Choose WineGE, did a wine prefix reset, then installed vcrun2022, then go back to steam mode. Finally, the game runs 😄 oh...stuck at loading...the animation is still running, but it looks like it will never end. Yep, it stuck at the loading screen 😞

If you’re seeing this in game mode, try again from desktop mode, this type of stall is usually authentication related and pops up a browser

ugly-tanOP•4mo ago

I tried both, both stuck at the same place. However, in desktop mode, if I force exit the game I will get a prompt in the game asking me to confirm the exit. I didn't see any pop up. I think the game is still running but stuck at loading some resources, or like you said, waiting for authentication but in this case it failed to show the authentication window.

the authentication window is the browser

generous-apricot•4mo ago

this is a GOG game it's not authenticating anytihing with user input open winecfg and make sure windows version isn't set to XP or something

like-gold•4mo ago

whoops

ugly-tanOP•4mo ago

Right, gog doesn't need authentication. The windows version is set to windows 10 I checked the log but didn't find any error. Anything I can do to investigate this issue?

generous-apricot•4mo ago

first of all try any modern proton version with enabled UMU in heroic's advanced settings

ugly-tanOP•4mo ago

I tried with proton-ge latest before. I will try with umu enabled. Thanks Nope... Still doesn't work Also, I just found out after enabling umu, all other games in heroic are not working. Most of them can start, but stuck at some stage

post new logs after setting WINEDEBUG=+fixme

ugly-tanOP•4mo ago

Curious...I can't be the only one who cannot run this game on steamdeck, right? How other people solved their problem?

metropolitan-bronze•4mo ago

wont know till you post new log (god what was my keyboard doing)

ugly-tanOP•4mo ago

https://0x0.st/8Zfm.log This is with UMU disabled. I had to force exit the game and when I didn't I got a prompt in the game to confirm exit, like pressing alt+f4 on computer https://0x0.st/8Zfm.log This is with UMU enabled. Looks pretty much the same to me 😂 One thing I noticed, with UMU I cannot force exit the game. All key presses were ignored. I had to force reboot my steamdeck.

metropolitan-bronze•4mo ago

you could try installing d3dcompiler_43 and 47 maybe, i see a bunch of d3dcompiler errors.. granted i am pretty sure this game works fine via steam so personally that's where i'd get it (i have it there and works fine on my linux desktop)

ugly-tanOP•4mo ago

Do you mean install d3dcompiler using winetricks?

metropolitan-bronze•4mo ago

yes

rising-crimson•4mo ago

The Epic version still seems to work fine as well, at least on a normal desktop PC. No idea about the Steam Deck…

ugly-tanOP•4mo ago

https://0x0.st/8Zfm.log Installed all d3dcompiler, this is the new log.

"autoInstallDxvkNvapi": true The Deck does not have an Nvidia GPU This is also not a new log. It’s the same from an hour and a half earlier

generous-apricot•4mo ago

it doesn't matter

ugly-tanOP•4mo ago

https://0x0.st/8Zv9.log This should be the right one. Sorry for the mistake.

like-gold•4mo ago

umu isn't enabled there

ugly-tanOP•4mo ago

Ah... strange, the last log uploading failed and I didn't notice it. Maybe because it is too big and that service rejected my request? Wow that log is 6mb... really big. How can I upload it?

generous-apricot•4mo ago

you can send the file here...

ugly-tanOP•4mo ago

Still got an upload failed error. I think this server is also restricted Game Log: gamemodeauto: [1mumu-launcher version 1.1.4 (3.11.11 (main, Nov 10 2011, 15:00:00) [GCC 13.2.0])[0m [1msteamrt is up to date[0m gamemodeauto: dlopen failed - libgamemode.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory gamemodeauto: dlopen failed - libgamemode.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory gamemodeauto: dlopen failed - libgamemode.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory gamemodeauto: dlopen failed - libgamemode.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Anyway, I saw this message repeated many times in the log.

did you install the same dll after switching to Proton? vcrun2022

ugly-tanOP•4mo ago

Yes, I have vcrun2022 and all d3dcompiler_* installed
