Wolfenstein: The Old Blood not launching heroic 2.17.2 (NixOS)
I am also not able to start the game in verbose log mode, I don't have the option (image1)
what is happening:
After setting the launcher to proton ge latest and pressing play now, I button changes from launching to playing then back to play without the game launching.
LOG(dunno if it's useful)

Simply delete the prefix and try again if you tried with system wine before

That's just a warning.
I think that's the problem. No idea how that could have happened.
BTW, if you want to game on NixOS, you should use the
nixos-unstable
channel.harsh-harlequinOP•2mo ago
well, I usually don't need that actually. proton is very good 🙂
metropolitan-bronze•2mo ago
Usually don't need what?
harsh-harlequinOP•2mo ago
the unstable branch
metropolitan-bronze•2mo ago
Well it does mean you have to wait for major fixes that won't be backported to the stable channel. For example, https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/428815

won't be backported? wdym by that?

Proton doesnt support 32 bit prefixes nor creates them
metropolitan-bronze•2mo ago
The umu package in nixpkgs was more than a bit broken.
So where on earth did this 32-bit prefix come from?
harsh-harlequinOP•2mo ago
hmm... recommendations? I dunno how to fix this
fascinating-indigo•2mo ago
winePrefix": "/home/matan/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/default/Wolfenstein The Old Blood"I wonder if you tried with system wine first etc
metropolitan-bronze•2mo ago
security fixes, for example, go into
master
but also get cherry-picked to the stable channelharsh-harlequinOP•2mo ago
should I?
metropolitan-bronze•2mo ago
Anyway, I guess the next step would be to delete the prefix?

harsh-harlequinOP•2mo ago
hmm.. interesting
ok
is there a standard way to do this or do I delete the directory or?
metropolitan-bronze•2mo ago
it's just a directory, so
rm -r /path/to/prefix/
fascinating-indigo•2mo ago
You just delete
winePrefix": "/home/matan/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/default/Wolfenstein The Old Blood"
This wolfenstein old blood prefix dir
harsh-harlequinOP•2mo ago
aight I"ll try 1 sec
fascinating-indigo•2mo ago
Cool way is rm
Peasant way is gui
I choose peasant way
harsh-harlequinOP•2mo ago
I'm c00l :3
metropolitan-bronze•2mo ago
Even though I run a full DE (Plasma), I still mostly use the terminal.
fascinating-indigo•2mo ago
Wouldnt expect less from nixos user
harsh-harlequinOP•2mo ago
now just try and play the game with ge latest?
fascinating-indigo•2mo ago
Yep
To ensure prefix is clean
metropolitan-bronze•2mo ago
Mathew said "directory", so I assumed some level of terminal knowledge. :P
fascinating-indigo•2mo ago
Edited tho, first said library
:rollsafe:
harsh-harlequinOP•2mo ago
cheers\
works 🙂
fascinating-indigo•2mo ago
Yw
harsh-harlequinOP•2mo ago
weird behavior while the mouse is off screen tho
game becomes blackscreened
windowned will fix it prob...
metropolitan-bronze•2mo ago
some games just do that, unfortunately.
harsh-harlequinOP•2mo ago
could be a wayland/DE kink.
fascinating-indigo•2mo ago
There are few windowing regression on proton 10 base
Affects multiple games
metropolitan-bronze•2mo ago
even on native windows, some games throw a hissy fit if you alt-tab away, too.
harsh-harlequinOP•2mo ago
true enough
curious
fascinating-indigo•2mo ago
Those kind of stuff happens between rebases
They fixed some of them
Some of them still lingers
harsh-harlequinOP•2mo ago
ok
so i'll mark this as fixed
good job!
