Marvel Rivals on Arch Linux

So its been a solid minute of me trying to get this game to work on my system. I have tried a lot of different environment variables and game versions and for a while the game worked (somewhat) on my KDE Plasma Wayland desktop environment, but it would freeze and crash a lot. So i tried out it on KDE Plasma X11 because i heard those drivers are more mature and work better for Rivals. Fast forward about a week and i have yet to get this game to even display a window on my system. On Steam, the console didnt even register the game was launching, so I switched to Heroic Launcher AUR, and same issue, but this time with better logs (maybe?) Anyways, I am losing my mind so if someone could help me get this very well-made game to run I would be forever grateful. My log: https://0x0.st/KBrO.log

You do the "play with logs" option right? There is nothing useful in that log

extended-salmonOP•2mo ago

yes it is enabled

"disableUMU": false

PROTON_LOG=1 to env vars This game is not on some ntfs partition right. Or a partition with permission/mounting issues?

extended-salmonOP•2mo ago

its on a ext4 drive and i just checked perms and i have readwrite

genetic-orange•2mo ago

Ok, then where is new log with that env in? It will create a heroic0.log With hopefully much more info

https://0x0.st/KBst.log here is the one provided by the application. is there another one somewhere on my system?

genetic-orange•2mo ago

Yes In your home directory heroic0 or steam0

This log lacks the "End of log" message, meaning some process there is still running This log hangs on launch (before Legendary is invoked), likely because a process from the previous launch is still running Same with that one I've seen you recommend this a few times now, not sure what you're attempting to gain with that env var. The full Proton log is already available in Heroic's log file

To see what proton passes to app by default. Such as gamedrive etc And time to time compare with here

ok update: i reinstalled my wineserver (i noticed i had two installed and i think my system was getting confused). The game now launches, but the window appears to be dimmed out and not interactable. There is also a blue loading bar at the top of my screen. my log: https://0x0.st/KBLf.log the end of log was from me closing the game after a while another update: the game now launches fine, but after 60 seconds. the GameThread crashes because the RenderThread never responds. I dont think i can fix this issue as it is an internal issue with the game being too sensitive to run on anything other than exact windows architecture. Thanks Netease 👍🫠
