Amnesia: Rebirth: Game won't start

I just downloaded Amnesia: Rebirth and it does not start. Heroic opens it and then immediately closes the window and quits the game. Here's the error log:

looks like i need to find out how to setup the wine debugger. how do i do that? 😭

like-gold•3mo ago

this isn't the full log, post the whole thing at once

HeroicBot•3mo ago

To help you, we need a game log. Please see the following images on how to get it.

like-gold•3mo ago

no need to set up the wine debugger in any case i've ever seen

optimistic-goldOP•3mo ago

https://0x0.st/83Aq.log

like-gold•3mo ago

it really looks like half the log is missing still are you editing out lines?

optimistic-goldOP•3mo ago

no that's just what it gives me when i do what the screenshots showed 😭 maybe it's something with macs not telling you exactly what they're doing. apple is very good at hiding stuff

flat-fuchsia•3mo ago

there's a bug in the log generation where the Mac logs incorrectly drop the wine runner info. it's visible in the launch command though.

optimistic-goldOP•3mo ago

you can just lmk what i need to do to get you the necessary info :starz_stare:

like-gold•3mo ago

fair enough have you tried this game with crossover?

optimistic-goldOP•3mo ago

i've never used crossover. what's the difference to wine?

conscious-sapphire•3mo ago

just did a quick search through, amnesia rebirth will not run over wine, unfortunately

correct-apricot•3mo ago

i have the same error

conscious-sapphire•3mo ago

it runs on opengl and macos’ opengl support is absolutely horrendous

like-gold•3mo ago

no, you dont. your other post is about a different game, stay out of unrelated threads. if you have an issue with the same game, then sure.

correct-apricot•3mo ago

the game is rocket league i have the error code if u want to see

like-gold•3mo ago

no, I dont. dont hijack unrelated threads.

optimistic-goldOP•3mo ago

okay, sad. thank you for the help though! i really appreciate it. :starz_pandalove:

flat-fuchsia•3mo ago

Do you think this is an EGS build or macOS-wine problem? the Steam version apparently works on Linux under Proton https://www.protondb.com/app/999220

How well does Amnesia: Rebirth work on Linux and the Steam Deck?

Game information for Proton, Linux, Steam Deck, and SteamOS

conscious-sapphire•3mo ago

it’s a MacOS thing any game that runs on opengl has genuinely 0 great solutions on a Mac since apple’s last opengl driver update was (3.3?)

flat-fuchsia•3mo ago

the game came out in 2020 and runs on OpenGL?!

conscious-sapphire•3mo ago

that’s what I read :shrug: I don’t own the game myself so I’m not sure

conscious-sapphire•3mo ago

Yes, it is OGL Previous Amnesia games were also OGL Their in house engine Apple was doing GL 4.2 iirc But not sure if modern Mac has a GL driver at all Intel Mac was doing GL 4.2

conscious-sapphire•3mo ago

god knows :shrug:

conscious-sapphire•3mo ago

https://docs.mesa3d.org/drivers/zink.html#apple-macos-and-moltenvk I guess one could try this but i dont expect end users to do it

conscious-sapphire•3mo ago

eugh that seems a bit painful

passive-yellow•2mo ago

i only could run it using vmware fusion with windows 11 arm64... before trying to run epic games launcher i installed steam and ask it to install a game using dx12, it installed directx and c++ runtimes for me and now it worked
