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:

verbal-limeOP•5/29/25, 3:09 PM

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

colossal-harlequin•5/29/25, 3:13 PM

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

HeroicBotAPP•5/29/25, 3:13 PM

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

colossal-harlequin•5/29/25, 3:13 PM

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

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

colossal-harlequin•5/29/25, 3:17 PM

it really looks like half the log is missing still

colossal-harlequin•5/29/25, 3:17 PM

are you editing out lines?

verbal-limeOP•5/29/25, 3:18 PM

verbal-limeOP•5/29/25, 3:19 PM

that's just what it gives me when i do what the screenshots showed

verbal-limeOP•5/29/25, 3:19 PM

maybe it's something with macs not telling you exactly what they're doing. apple is very good at hiding stuff

Ccolossal-harlequin are you editing out lines?

nursing-lime•5/29/25, 3:20 PM

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.

verbal-limeOP•5/29/25, 3:24 PM

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

colossal-harlequin•5/29/25, 3:31 PM

fair enough

colossal-harlequin•5/29/25, 3:31 PM

have you tried this game with crossover?

Ccolossal-harlequin have you tried this game with crossover?

verbal-limeOP•5/29/25, 3:53 PM

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

popular-magenta•5/29/25, 3:59 PM

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

safe-amethyst•5/29/25, 3:59 PM

i have the same error

popular-magenta•5/29/25, 3:59 PM

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

Ssafe-amethyst i have the same error

colossal-harlequin•5/29/25, 4:12 PM

no, you dont. your other post is about a different game, stay out of unrelated threads.

colossal-harlequin•5/29/25, 4:12 PM

if you have an issue with the same game, then sure.

safe-amethyst•5/29/25, 4:12 PM

the game is rocket league

safe-amethyst•5/29/25, 4:12 PM

i have the error code

safe-amethyst•5/29/25, 4:13 PM

if u want to see

colossal-harlequin•5/29/25, 4:13 PM

no, I dont. dont hijack unrelated threads.

verbal-limeOP•5/29/25, 9:03 PM

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

nursing-lime•5/29/25, 9:16 PM

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?

popular-magenta•5/29/25, 9:17 PM

it’s a MacOS thing

popular-magenta•5/29/25, 9:17 PM

any game that runs on opengl has genuinely 0 great solutions on a Mac

popular-magenta•5/29/25, 9:17 PM

since apple’s last opengl driver update was (3.3?)

nursing-lime•5/29/25, 9:18 PM

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

popular-magenta•5/29/25, 9:18 PM

that’s what I read :shrug:

popular-magenta•5/29/25, 9:18 PM

I don’t own the game myself so I’m not sure

dry-scarlet•5/29/25, 9:48 PM

Yes, it is OGL

dry-scarlet•5/29/25, 9:48 PM

Previous Amnesia games were also OGL

dry-scarlet•5/29/25, 9:48 PM

Their in house engine

dry-scarlet•5/29/25, 9:49 PM

Apple was doing GL 4.2 iirc

dry-scarlet•5/29/25, 9:49 PM

But not sure if modern Mac has a GL driver at all

dry-scarlet•5/29/25, 9:49 PM

Intel Mac was doing GL 4.2

Ddry-scarlet But not sure if modern Mac has a GL driver at all

popular-magenta•5/29/25, 10:20 PM

god knows :shrug:

I guess one could try this but i dont expect end users to do it

popular-magenta•5/29/25, 11:53 PM

eugh that seems a bit painful

brilliant-orange•6/26/25, 12:29 PM

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
