Problems launching F.E.A.R.
Hi folks, recently made the jump from windows to Linux and managed to get some games running, however F.E.A.R. still gives me some troubles. Version is from GOG, Platinum edition, first I thought it was the install folder name, changed that, got a different error, then read up on different proton/wine versions, tried that, get different errors under that too. I am not getting too much out of the error log. seems to me it does not recognize the game, starts some stuff then there is a wine registry error (not sure where that comes from or how I can fix that)
0090:err:hid:udev_bus_init UDEV monitor creation failed. Anyone any ideas? Cause I am out of em after trying different wine versions, starting the game with launch option PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command% as suggested in protondb, but still no luck.
screenshots of log attached. Anyone that has any pointers for a linux/proton noob?
Thanks, Lex

- Ideally use latest GE-Proton from Heroic's Wine Manager
- What filesystem is
/mnt/d7e13c08-d5e2-4fba-847b-02aa01afb965/
using? If you're not sure, run mount | grep /mnt/
in your terminal and send in the outputPlease follow these instructions on using GE-Proton:
1. Head to the Wine Manager in Heroic, click the "GE-Proton" tab, and install "GE-Proton-Latest"
2. Head to the settings for your game(s) (icon on game card in library). In the "Wine Version" dropdown, select "Proton - GE-Proton-latest"
3. Rename your Wineprefix (path is shown in game settings), e.g. from
current-name
to current-name_bak
. To clarify: Rename the actual folder on your hard drive, do not change the option in the game settings.
Note: This will make game-specific configuration data (e.g. in-game settings or save files) unavailable. If this is an issue, let us know & we'll help you restore them.optimistic-goldOP•2w ago
