delete your prefix folder on your disk and try running with Proton-GE latest from heroic's wine manager
national-goldOPā¢4mo ago
im having some trouble deletingh the prefix folder
running this on the console doesnt seem to find any existent file ~/.var/app/com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl/config/heroic/pfx/
The file or folder /home/deck/.var/app/com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl/config/heroic/pfx does not exist.
Ok i managed to delete the prefix and running now with proton ge 10.4
fair-roseā¢4mo ago
That isnt where it is.. yeah its just by default in ~/Games/Heroic/Prefixes
"winePrefix": "/home/deck/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/default/Overcooked 2",Should have been this folder
national-goldOPā¢4mo ago
yep i deleted it and chose the general game folder as install path for wine
fair-roseā¢4mo ago
? what do you mean?
national-goldOPā¢4mo ago
now its stuck on "launching" im waiting
fair-roseā¢4mo ago
what do you mean you chose the game folder install path
(if you changed the prefix location this is extremely wrong, use the defaults that heroic sets.)
i did not say alter the prefix location
just to delete the folder, and retry with latest GE Proton
heroic will properly regenerate this folder
national-goldOPā¢4mo ago
so i should uninstall the wole overcooked 2 folder or just one specific ?
fair-roseā¢4mo ago
? what do you mean what have you done?
national-goldOPā¢4mo ago
nothing yet trying to understand what to delete
fair-roseā¢4mo ago
this folder
/home/deck/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/default/Overcooked 2thats it nothing else and just rerun the game after that with latest ge proton
national-goldOPā¢4mo ago
okok
ty!
ill let yk if it works
okat tryiing now
@Allora still crashed... here goes the logs https://0x0.st/86Tx.log

Its funny bcs with overcooked 1 (epic games) runs w no probs but overcooked 2 (gog) has issues
fair-roseā¢4mo ago
ill have to try this game.. i think i have it not at a steam deck atm but i can see if it works on my desktop
national-goldOPā¢4mo ago
ty i see a lot of ppl complain online abt the same thing for overck 2\
guess its a bug for the game itself specific
ty a lot for the help!!
at least ovrked 1 works
fair-roseā¢4mo ago
works out of the box on my desktop
i just hit install and play š
national-goldOPā¢4mo ago
im trying in steam deck
all the protons did not work
any else troubleshooting i can try
fair-roseā¢4mo ago
i wouldnt just change protons tbh usually does nothing
ill try it on my steam deck
looks like it works fine on my steam deck too
all i have set is latest heroic latest prton ge installed the gog version of the game, hit play, ran fine
make sure your system is up to date
national-goldOPā¢4mo ago
it is i even uninstalled heroic and installed again
so weird
whats the version you have of heroic
fair-roseā¢4mo ago
latest
national-goldOPā¢4mo ago
mine is 2.17.2
fair-roseā¢4mo ago
yep
national-goldOPā¢4mo ago
proton ge 10.4
fair-roseā¢4mo ago
same
national-goldOPā¢4mo ago
overcooked version 6.231
fair-roseā¢4mo ago
yep
did you run it in desktop mode first
national-goldOPā¢4mo ago
yes
i did
should i try in non desktop mode
fair-roseā¢4mo ago
no most of the time you should run games in desktop mode first just in case they open a browser or other related thing
are you on steam os beta?
i have my deck set to the beta channel
maybe worth trying
did you disable shadercache on your steam deck?
if you did, re-enable it.. there are some issues that occur if you disable it last i checked
national-goldOPā¢4mo ago
how can i change it to this
i dont think so
fair-roseā¢4mo ago
in game mode: Steam menu -> system -> Beta Participation
it updates more frequently but i've not really had issue with it. but maybe there's a beta fix that lets me play
passive-yellowā¢4mo ago
has his been fixed? Im having the same exact issue, i have it from epic games though, not steam
fair-roseā¢4mo ago
Game works out of the box for me from gog and egs
So im not sure there is an issue with the game. More likely an issue with your system
Fwiw this discussion is about the egs version not steam version.
passive-yellowā¢4mo ago
Ooh okay, i thought it was about steam as I read you were trying to run it on Steam Deck
fair-roseā¢4mo ago
Its about steam deck yes
But running egs games
Since heroic doesnt run steam games
passive-yellowā¢4mo ago
Ooh okay got it
fair-roseā¢4mo ago
Post logs but you are likely having a different issue
passive-yellowā¢4mo ago
kay, will do the verbose thing and send it
https://0x0.st/8IKI.log
as of now, the game opens, runs the loading screen for about a second, then a pop up opens up with a loading bar
crashes and closes the game
genetic-orangeā¢4mo ago
update your GE-proton version, I think the game requires the EOS overlay and I think it's broken in older protons since the last update
passive-yellowā¢4mo ago
okay, will try that and report back
thanks
genetic-orangeā¢4mo ago
so:
- check in settings > advanced (global settings, not game settings) if there's an update for the EOS overlay
- make sure it's enabled for the game (game page > 3-dots menu > enable EOS overlay)
- make sure you are using the newest GE proton (I think it's 10-4)
passive-yellowā¢4mo ago
I did not have the EOS installed
could have been thtat?
genetic-orangeā¢4mo ago
is it working now? I think the game needs the EOS enabled to show you the authentication dialog
passive-yellowā¢4mo ago
Haven't updated Proton yet, still not runngin
I did not find the EOS overlay on the game config
genetic-orangeā¢4mo ago
it's not in the 3-dots menu?
passive-yellowā¢4mo ago
ohh okay found it
didn't know you had to be on the main page of the game, was just openning the quick settings menu
will update Proton and try again
installed proton ge 10.4, tried running it again, same error
should I reboot for the changes to apply?
genetic-orangeā¢4mo ago
no need to reboot, try deleting this folder so it gets recreated
/home/kokochea/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/default/Overcooked 2
also share a new log always after you try something and doesn't workpassive-yellowā¢4mo ago
https://0x0.st/8IPG.log
deleted it and runned it againt
this is the log
genetic-orangeā¢4mo ago
settings look fine but I don't know what could be happening
maybe you can try a non-flatpak version of heroic and see if that makes it work, I don't know
passive-yellowā¢4mo ago
okay
thanks for all the help
will try that
could you show me where I can install it from a non-flatpak version/
genetic-orangeā¢4mo ago
not sure what package manager is available in your OS, but you can try the app image or check the
others
button there to download deb/rpm/etc https://heroicgameslauncher.com/downloadsfair-roseā¢4mo ago
See if verifying files helps. Its erroring like something is incomplete
passive-yellowā¢4mo ago
How can I verify the files/
genetic-orangeā¢4mo ago
game page in heroic > 3-dots menu > verify and repair
passive-yellowā¢4mo ago
I tried installing it via AppImage but it didn't work either
Okay, thanks, will try installing through flathub again and runnning that
https://0x0.st/8IZy.log
I run the verify, installed EOS, latest version of Proton through the Heroic GUI, still same problema
genetic-orangeā¢4mo ago
I see a lot of
usb
around the lines of the exception, I wonder... do you have any USB device connected? I wonder if that's causing any issue
other than that I don't know what else to try :/fair-roseā¢4mo ago
Yeah id try disconnecting unnecessary usb devices. Lots of usb spam
passive-yellowā¢4mo ago
hey just thought i'd offer that I've had success with the Gog version using GE-Proton 7.55
other versions of GE-Proton just wouldn't work for me
fair-roseā¢4mo ago
Wow thats years old O_O
Some folks must have some strange configurations
passive-yellowā¢4mo ago
i think it's just the peripherals
I don't see why that would cause a problem
also tried another Dead by Daylight to see if it worked and it did
It opened up fine and was able to play
Maybe is somehting about Overcooked only?
passive-yellowā¢4mo ago
@kokochea try GE-Proton 7.55
passive-yellowā¢4mo ago
Okay, thank you
Will try adn report back
passive-yellowā¢4mo ago
I just tried with GE-Proton 10.4 on my Steam Deck and it crashes, nothing out of the ordinary with my set up. I can only get it to work with GE-Proton 7.55.
passive-yellowā¢4mo ago
I'm not trying to run it on Steam Deck though
just regular linux
KDE Neon to be precise
passive-yellowā¢4mo ago
just try it anyway it was a fix I found somewhere (reddit I think) a while back, I don't think it's Steam Deck specific
i get the exact same issue as you do when not using this version
passive-yellowā¢4mo ago
okay
will try that then
really weird
but if it works it works
I cant even download that versoin of Proton LOL
Ill try an new version see if it works
passive-yellowā¢4mo ago
It's GE-Proton you should be able to get it from ProtonUP-QT
passive-yellowā¢4mo ago
Im trying with proton 8 14
if that deosnt work, will try wiht PROTON UP QT
passive-yellowā¢4mo ago
Yeah I just checked ProtonUp-Qt and you can get it plus older versions. Not sure what you use but that's an option to get other Proton and GE-Proton versions.
fair-roseā¢4mo ago
Runs on my steam deck with proton ge latest no issues. Didnt even have to do anything special. Ran and installed without issue
passive-yellowā¢4mo ago
yeah it can be hit or miss. i don't' have anything out of the ordinary on my deck (not using Heroic btw) and this is the only way for me to get it to work. we've had this issue before, for example, where GE-Proton 9.20 worked on one deck for a game and the exact same set up on another deck it wouldn't work for the same game.
i'm just trying to offer some ideas as i have the exact same issue as the OP and this user when trying with other versions of Proton.
fair-roseā¢4mo ago
Yeah but there must be some configuration difference
I run a pretty stock deck, but I use the beta channel. I generally dont have any devices attached either but the dock sometimes.
So sounds to me that maybe some devices or certain settings interefere
wise-whiteā¢4mo ago
Runs just fine on ge latest

wise-whiteā¢4mo ago
We are running inside a Flatpak containerMaybe just this once try with appimage one
wise-whiteā¢4mo ago
passive-yellowā¢4mo ago
I'm on the Stable Channel. I have Heroic installed (but I don't use it), I have ProtonUp-Qt and Decky. I don't have any devices attached and I use the stable channel.
For example, we had an issue with Fall Guys a while back. Out of the three Steam decks we have had Fall Guys failed with GE-9.20 on two decks and work perfect on the third. For what it's worth Fall Guys also failed on GE-Proton 9.20 on a Arch laptop. One of the decks that Fall Guys failed on, was a completely fresh install of SteamOS.
wise-whiteā¢4mo ago
When will you finish writing_
passive-yellowā¢4mo ago
sorry had to re-read and fix typos and stuff. ocd sorry
passive-yellowā¢4mo ago
it still dowsnt run
š¦
passive-yellowā¢4mo ago

passive-yellowā¢4mo ago
this is what appears after a few seconds of loading
then crashes
https://0x0.st/8IqL.log getting this as of now, latest proton by the way
okay
found a fix
aparently, as mrs junkrunner said
Proton is conflicting? don't knwo if that word exists
Instead of running it on the last version of Proton GE
passive-yellowā¢4mo ago

passive-yellowā¢4mo ago
i run it on Wine 9.0
with EOS disabled and Esync and Fsync disabled to
I will try with those enabled see if it works
okay, enabled Esync, enabled Fsync ahd enabled EOS, it still works
with Wine 9.0
I will try with Proton GE 8.27 and report back
passive-yellowā¢4mo ago
ok cool, I'm glad you got it working!
passive-yellowā¢4mo ago
thanks
Don't know why the latest Proton conflicts though
Yup
Not
passive-yellowā¢4mo ago
yeah I don't know, but it could be environmental outside of the containerization, sometimes it's a crap shoot
passive-yellowā¢4mo ago
Not working with Proton GE 8.27 either
