Star Trek Prodigy: Supernova - hangs on 'new game'
Hi,
Bit perplexed on this one as the game has platinum rating, so I can only assume I've got some borked config. I'm running a Framework 13 (Ryzen 7 7840u) and Ubuntu 24.04
Game launches absolutely fine without issue (aside from it squishing the picture on the 4:3 aspect display panel on the intro) Can select graphics settings etc fine in the application, but when I click 'new game' it just hangs. The CPU fan on the laptop ramp up hard so it's obviously trying to do something, and the menu backdrop remains animated so it's not fully crashing or anything but I've given it a good couple of minutes and nothing else happens in game. mouse cursor disappears too.
Thanks for taking the time to read 🙂

Not sure this will change anything, but you can make sure umu is enabled by going to game settings and ticking, then unticking the disable umu check box. There's a bug in the ui that defaults umu to off even tho the checkbox is disabled. This will enable umu

thanks for the suggestion. interestingly the game doesn't launch at all unless umu is disabled
OK got it working. Installed wine via 'apt install wine' and ran the game under the default Ubuntu distribution of wine and it just worked. It would appear that at least on the first time you start a new game via epic, clicking new game attempts to launch a web page on epic to tie your game account to your epic account and when running via proton it freezes trying to launch the browser
