SteamApi problem with Trackmania (2020) (Epic Games ver.)
Hi, while I could launch Trackamania for a first time and play it well using proton and some light tweaking (notably
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8=n,b" and using steam runtime as otherwise, uplay doesn't find epic games services (don't ask me how or why)), any subsequent launch attempts didn't work, with logs ending on a steam api error, no matter wether I disabled steam runtime in the game options or not.
Any idea why ?
Thanks in advance !4 Replies

erasing the prefix then launching again seemed to work but this doesn't look like a reliable way to keep playing the game
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.

Don’t use stock Proton, especially Hotfix
