GTA V Enhanced ON Linux
Getting 2~ seconds of black screen, then game and launcher closes.
Using the fix.bat thing and SteamDeck=1 env doesn't help.
[Editi]Solved:
https://github.com/telqor/proton-ge-custom/releases telqor made a MR with the fix, you can download the fixed proton in his fork. You still need the fix.bat.

Yeah, getting this error on the logs

adverse-sapphire•3mo ago
you have to rebase it onto proton

yep, that seems to have made the game launch for me now, thanks for sharing the fork!

theres a 120fps cap for some reason, no MSAA option, my save file didn't transfer, there isn't a native vulkan option or dx11 (even though rdr2 had vulkan)

relaxed-coral•3mo ago
unrelated to the fork or heroic though, i guess this "enhanced edition" is DOA.
sensitive-blueOP•3mo ago
You can use FSR/DLSS AA
With is in my opnion, better than MSAA
relaxed-coral•3mo ago
yeah i know but the option was available in the old version and it was also available in rdr2 (although its perf impact was huge)
sensitive-blueOP•3mo ago
You need to upload yout save from the legacy version
Then download on the enhanced
relaxed-coral•3mo ago
through heroic?
sensitive-blueOP•3mo ago
Through the game
relaxed-coral•3mo ago
yeah my legacy save is saved to the cloud
ohhhhhhh, I see. upload save game
so im gonna have to download legacy edition too now
bruh
sensitive-blueOP•3mo ago
Rockstar cloud, right? But for some reason they decided you need to open GTA V Legacy, go to the menu, and choose the option to upload your save game, after that you can get the save on enhnaced version
relaxed-coral•3mo ago
what a strange way of doing things
no problem, thanks for your help nonetheless

How to transfer your GTA 5 save file to GTA 5 Enhanced and accept R...
You may need to load up GTA Online even if you only want to transfer your story mode saves.

im very mad 😭
its very hard to make it work
now its just saying "Unable to launch game, please try reinstaling the game"
absent-sapphire•3mo ago
are you on windows? if so try opening the rockstar launcher it'll ask you to install battleye then you can start the game
fascinating-indigo•3mo ago
same here man
just install the redistributables on the GTA 5 directory using winetricks
and make sure to not use the fix.bat on first run after installing redistributables
fascinating-indigo•3mo ago
what is this -_-

relaxed-coral•3mo ago
everything is now working for me btw, and I was able to decrease the storage size of the game by following this reddit post to remove all the online files: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/1j3bdii/psa_for_any_gta_v_players_on_linuxsteam_deck/

how do I use custom proton with heroic?
nvm got it working thanks 👍

What exactly does one need to do with the file once downloaded
sensitive-blueOP•3mo ago
Extract the folder inside the file download here:
~/.steam/steam/compatibilitytools.d/
Like this:
~/.steam/root/compatibilitytools.d/GE-Proton9.../...
Then, inside heroic in the game's setting switch the proton version for the new one.

EUREKA! YOU ARE A LEGEND. IT FINALLY WORKED. Thank you!

Hey guys, Im on Steam Deck and I can't get it to work for the love of god.
I have the fix.bat thing set up, as well as the 9.25-GTA proton version.
However, when I try to start the game it just says Internal Error and then "Unable to install prerequisites, please try reinstalling the game". I have tried installing MS redistributables via Protontricks in the GTA folder, however not sure if that worked out since I encountered some errors during that process.
foreign-sapphire•3mo ago
whenever I get the
unable to install prerequisites
(I see that always for RDR2), I launch the game again and it works fine the second timexenial-black•3mo ago
unfortunately that's not the case for me. Tried 4 times in a row, always the same
