Mudrunner opens to tutorial and than suddenly closes
Once i open the game, it asks me to accept EULA to play and than says welcome to mudrunner. Once i click ok on the tutorial the game crashes.

try using wine-crossover instead of whisky
optimistic-goldOPβ’2mo ago
i tried using latest version of wine-crossover from heroic launcher, same issue
xenial-blackβ’2mo ago
did you turn on
auto install dxvk
?optimistic-goldOPβ’2mo ago
Nope... No clue where such an option is
xenial-blackβ’2mo ago


optimistic-goldOPβ’2mo ago
Should I turn it on?
xenial-blackβ’2mo ago
yeah
optimistic-goldOPβ’2mo ago
Alright... I don't have access to my computer rn I'll try it tommorow and inform whether it works
Thanks a lot!
Still have the same issue
is my winetricks supposed to work?
im getting an error saying cabextract, 7z and zenity are not installed
xenial-blackβ’2mo ago
oh you have to install those using homebrew
optimistic-goldOPβ’2mo ago
oh...
how much space would you say they take?
ive seen multiple posts saying usind d3dx9 works for linux and steam deck users
but have no clue how to do it for mac
do i use winecfg?
xenial-blackβ’2mo ago
not much really
optimistic-goldOPβ’2mo ago
alr i got them
it worked
π
thanks @TheGoldenGem
For any future players, you have to:
1. Download mudrunner
2. Download the latest wine crossover through the wine manager menu
3. Click on settings for mudrunner
4. Choose your wine crossover for crossover/wine version
5. Turn on "Auto install/Update DXVK on prefix"
6. Download cabextract and zenity using homebrew to get winetricks to open.
7. Open winetricks
8. Click open winetricks gui
9. close the error message which pops up twice
10. Choose "Select the default wineprefix" and click ok
11. Choose "Install a windows DLL or component" and click ok
12. Scroll and find "d3dx9_43" and select it than click ok
13. Close winetricks
14. The game should work

good to know
sensitive-blueβ’2mo ago
one thing to note, if you have the winetricks dependencies (i think only cabextract is needed for this), heroic should download the d3dx9_43 package automatically
you can skip the zenity dependency if you use the search input instead of
Open Winetricks GUI
, you can skip a few of the last steps if you use the search inputoptimistic-goldOPβ’2mo ago
How do you use the search input?
Nvm
Found it
any clue if this works on intel macs? i tested it and it keeps saying cabextract not installed though i have it and even if install d3dx9_43 it doesnt come into the wine config
@TheGoldenGem if you have any clue too please tell when your free
works fine on my m4 mac but my bros intel aint working
deep-jadeβ’2mo ago
post a log from that system
xenial-blackβ’2mo ago
it should(?)
no reaosn it shouldnt
optimistic-goldOPβ’2mo ago
Alr I'll try Tommorow... Already too late today
optimistic-goldOPβ’2mo ago
optimistic-goldOPβ’2mo ago
i have no clue why this showed up
deep-jadeβ’2mo ago
doesnt look like the
d3dx9_43
dependency is installed
but also, post the complete log
not just out-of-context errorsoptimistic-goldOPβ’2mo ago
alr, ill do it once that computer is free
sensitive-blueβ’2mo ago
I tested the game on an intel mac and it worked for me, I had cabextract installed with homebrew and heroic autoinstalled the d3dx9_43 package, using wine-crossover
optimistic-goldOPβ’2mo ago
That's weird which mac is yours?
sensitive-blueβ’2mo ago
macbook pro from 2019, intel core i7
optimistic-goldOPβ’2mo ago
Oh alr... I'm trying it on a 2013 macbook pro, intel core i7
Maybe it doesn't support those
Cause homebrew says cabextract is installed
But heroic doesn't recognise it
this good? @termdisc
resent it
optimistic-goldOPβ’2mo ago
sensitive-blueβ’2mo ago
share the output of running
brew install cabextract
, until you get the d3dx9_43 package installed anything else will fail
I see you are on MacOS 11, heroic doesn't really support that old version of macOS (I think it needs at least version 12)
I do see brew should be able to install cabextract for mac os big sur though https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/cabextractoptimistic-goldOPβ’2mo ago
ye it said install complete
when i try to update it also says its up to date
so cabextract is fine
maybe its heroics issue
sensitive-blueβ’2mo ago
to clarify, heroic is not the one trying to access cabextract, it's winetricks, heroic doesn't use cabextract for anything, maybe try installing winetricks with homebrew too https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/winetricks
optimistic-goldOPβ’2mo ago
good idea
ill do it later and report back
game stopped opening after doing that... it says playing for 2 seconds and than just stops
optimistic-goldOPβ’2mo ago
optimistic-goldOPβ’2mo ago
something about metadata not exisiting
sensitive-blueβ’2mo ago
that's unrelated to that change, it's just a coincidence that it's happening at the same time
the issue is related to connection problems (not that your connection is wrong, more like issues connecting to epic's servers to fetch the game's metadata)
that error goes away alone with time, try again later, I don't really know how
much
later is, but it gets fixed by itselfoptimistic-goldOPβ’2mo ago
Alr I'll wait a bit and try again
