Playing windows games with wine suddenly doesn't work anymore

I haven't played one of my windows games in a while. So i was really surprised and confused as to why suddenly when i try to launch any of my windows games using wine, they all give an error, not the just not opening that i was kinda used to. I haven't changed the wine-proton version i use, nor did i change the version of heroic. But even on the newest version (2.17.2) it doesn't behave any differently, neither on an older one (2.13) I tested launching them using steam instead and it still works that way.

I am aware that more information is probably needed, i just don't know what would be important.

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

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2mo ago

here is the link https://0x0.st/8nLE.log

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2mo ago

i also now managed to run a different game over wine (with the same wine-version). but that log should probably not be uploaded, so i better only post it here

Wine 8.14 or newer is needed for winevulkan support.

Wine GE was likely based on older wine base than .14

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2mo ago

https://0x0.st/8n9p.log I also now tried to launch it with my system wine, which is version 9.0, and it now seems to have different problems. Although i'm kinda confused as to why the winevulcan problem appeared suddenly, shouldn't that have always been a problem with that Wine GE version?

afraid-scarlet•2mo ago

Because dxvk 2.7 raised requirements Now you are on dxvk 2.7

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2mo ago

oh, so it has something to do with system updates?

afraid-scarlet•2mo ago

No Heroic auto updates dxvk to latest

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2mo ago

i see

afraid-scarlet•2mo ago

Just use proton ge latest, your gpu supports everything for dxvk

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2mo ago

i'll try

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2mo ago

sadly didn't help either.

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2mo ago

also tried wine-ge-latest, but no luck

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2mo ago

but i guess the problem somehow being with dxvk makes sense, since all the emulated games that still work have in common that they don't use DirectX could i maybe roll back to an older version of heroic? wait no you said that it's something heroic updates, not a part of heroic itself.

For the love of god do system updates for once 🐸 Normally you should be on Mesa 25.1.6 Not 24.2.8

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2mo ago

hm, i thought i did all my updates recently, although i admit that i accumulated quite a lot. i'll try restarting my pc.

Solution

afraid-scarlet•2mo ago

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2mo ago

i guess drivers aren't something you can just get with the other updates?

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2mo ago

~~it also now now longer shows that it encountered an error, just directly closes the game again (not sure if this is an improvement or not).~~ Okay no after reinstalling the game the error window is back I also checked my driver-manager and it says i don't have any drivers to update When i use regular proton (not GE) from steam it does work. so i guess i have that as a backup, but i'm still confused as to why every other wine/proton version doesn't seem to work.

afraid-scarlet•2mo ago

What base does Mint 22.1 uses? As ubuntu base

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2mo ago

not sure what i'm supposed to answer there

afraid-scarlet•2mo ago

Nothing As i just looked it u0 sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kisak/kisak-mesa sudo apt update After these go your update manager and refresh @Hat and Tie

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2mo ago

yes i'm on it although i don't have the best experience with manually adding a repository

afraid-scarlet•2mo ago

Just do these in terminal First one And after that second one That wont break anything Adding a ppa that a Valve employee maintains

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2mo ago

okay it seems to now also work with proton-GE, but still not with wine-GE

afraid-scarlet•2mo ago

It wont work with wine ge Wine ge doesnt have necessary winevulkan support to run with dxvk 2.7+ And GE wont do anymore Wine builds Only Proton inxi -SMGxx Post me this btw From terminal

and yeah the thing with wine-ge no longer being maintained tracks with the release dates thank you so much for your help, by the way!

afraid-scarlet•2mo ago

Yw Ok, so it is indeed Ubuntu 24.04 based, can be seen distro line

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2mo ago

now i have some other problem however: the wine manager suddenly no longer shows the uninstalled versions i can download

afraid-scarlet•2mo ago

Wdym by that? You are not on some old heroic right?

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2mo ago

even in the newes one it doesn't seem to work.

afraid-scarlet•2mo ago

Tap to refresh button at top i guess

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2mo ago

doesn't do anying sadly i do kinda remember something like that already happening in the past

afraid-scarlet•2mo ago

Well,i dunno why it would do that but you dont need older versions anyways

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2mo ago

true i guess i also checked the heroic log, seems like it has issues getting the data from the github-repo

(23:17:58) ERROR:   [WineDownloader]:   Error: Could not fetch available releases from https://api.github.com/repos/GloriousEggroll/wine-ge-custom/releases with error:

 AxiosError: Request failed with status code 403

 AxiosError: Request failed with status code 403

the same error is also for proton-ge-custom

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2mo ago

okay the other versions seem to be back now. maybe i was just timed out in some way after downloading so much. you already helped me so much, but one more thing: The prefix structure seems to have changed a ~~lot~~ bit in the newest proton-ge-version, using links so there isn't both the steam user and the regular user. Do you know of some way to tell heroic to get a new prefix generated by the new proton-version? Maybe just delete the prefix folder, or would that be a bad idea?

afraid-scarlet•2mo ago

Starting with a fresh prefix is the best way But make sure to backup your save files. As they tend to be in prefixes.

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2mo ago

yes i am aware of that. The thing i am unsure about how exactly one would "start with a fresh prefix" As the only prefix related setting i culd find is the one defining the path to it. Would that mean that i just clear the content of the prefix?

afraid-scarlet•2mo ago

That means nuking prefix and pressing "play" button 🐸 That would make a new prefix

absent-sapphire•2mo ago

and by nuking prefix it means delete the folder in you file explorer

unwilling-turquoiseOP•2mo ago

I see good to know, i'll do that later today. Seems to work, thanky a buch you two!
