The Elder Scrolls Online launcher issues

I tried using older wine-ge versions, installing dotnet48 manually before first launch and adding drive D with path to Heroic's Games directory as suggested in other posts. https://0x0.st/KHVu.log

Not that I have anything against using it where it works, but why Wine-GE and not Proton-GE?

extended-salmonOP•3mo ago

Because other posts said that Proton doesn't work with ESO. When I tried launching ESO with Proton it gave me an error: Timeout waiting for window to load.

Last I checked the game ran fine with Proton. Could you send in a new log file, using GE-Proton(-latest) & with a clean prefix?

Install dotnet40 using Winetricks & re-run the game

extended-salmonOP•3mo ago

Didn't help

CommandMC•3mo ago

Gonna need a new game log then

Log still reports .NET isn't installed. Are you sure installing it through Winetricks worked?

CommandMC•3mo ago

Hm yeah that didn't work, although I'm not sure why

extended-salmonOP•3mo ago

Is there anything I can try?

CommandMC•3mo ago

You can try downloading the installer & running that manually (using the "Run EXE in Prefix" button in the game settings) https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=17718

On a fresh ESO prefix with GE-Proton-Latest. I did not launch the game or install dotnet40 via winetricks.

extended-salmonOP•3mo ago

When launching on a fresh prefix with Archlinux wine it doesn't have a problem with .NET but still doesn't work. https://0x0.st/KXMZ.log

CommandMC•3mo ago

Well, good news is that I can reproduce the issue

extended-salmonOP•3mo ago

Any progress?

extended-salmonOP•3mo ago

I managed to fix .NET 4 not installing on GE-Proton-Latest by manually creating a wine prefix and installing dotnet40_kb2468871. Commands used before launching ESO:

export WINEPREFIX=~/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/default/TheElderScrollsOnline
export WINEARCH=win64
wine wineboot
winetricks --force -q dotnet40_kb2468871

export WINEPREFIX=~/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/default/TheElderScrollsOnline
export WINEARCH=win64
wine wineboot
winetricks --force -q dotnet40_kb2468871

The only problem right now is the timeout error. https://0x0.st/K8Hk.log

extended-salmonOP•3mo ago

I fixed the timeout error by Installing ole32 which results in a new error. https://0x0.st/K8Xh.log

extended-salmonOP•3mo ago

This error vanished after installing webview2 manually by running an installer exe on prefix but the game still doesn't launch. https://0x0.st/Kqg-.log @CommandMC please 😭

CommandMC•3mo ago

I'm not omniscient. I don't know why this issue is happening. Definitely seems like you're looking at least at (1) an issue with dotnet48 not installing properly and (2) an issue with Webview-related components, but I don't know how you'd continue troubleshooting here

extended-salmonOP•3mo ago

Could you please check this log and see if there are any errors you can recognize? Anything above the referenced message is already fixed. Maybe I am missing some libraries or my WM is at fault? The .NET seems to work since there are no errors related to it. I really don't know what to do. Most people on ProtonDB report no issues/minimal tinkering required 🙁

extended-salmonOP•3mo ago

I found a way to avoid these steps.

extended-salmonOP•3mo ago

I installed a ton of different libraries for wine, games etc and still nothing. I give up.

unwilling-turquoise•2w ago

Hello. Were you able to find a way to launch it?

CommandMC•2w ago

More recent GE-Proton versions should have the dotnet48 issue resolved, so this game should work again now. If it doesn't, please send in a game log

unwilling-turquoise•2w ago

Still does not work https://0x0.st/KLdd.log https://0x0.st/KLnG.log Last proton GE Clear proton GE. https://0x0.st/KL5s.log
