(22:55:57) [INFO]: Launching "Hollow Knight" (sideload)

From the install path, looks like you own this game on GOG. Actually import it into Heroic properly then

fascinating-indigoOP•2mo ago

I have the offline installer. I don't want to connect the GOG account because this laptop isn't mine, it's my brothers So I'm just letting him borrow my installers, but I don't want him with free access to my entire library Other games launch fine, like Phantom Rose 2 Scarlet, for example Or GTA VC So Proton clearly works, it's just Hollow Knight doesn't To install the game, I clicked Add Game, then hit Run Installer first, and ran the GOG setup exe I kept the default path of C:/GOG Games, since I don't think the install location matters

Is this the issue?

What does this mean? The iGPU should support Vulkan 1.3 Would running this be a good idea? sudo apt install mesa-vulkan-drivers mesa-vulkan-drivers:i386

fascinating-indigoOP•2mo ago

Hmm...

fascinating-indigoOP•2mo ago

Intel(R) UHD Graphics (JSL) (Intel open-source Mesa driver 22.3.6)

Maybe I should also pull mesa (25.0.7-2~bpo12+1) from bookworm-backports?

fascinating-indigoOP•2mo ago

I'll try installing this mesa from backports and report back

CommandMC•2mo ago

You might be better off using the Flatpak version of Heroic. It ensures Mesa, and other dependencies, are installed in ways Heroic expects them to be

fascinating-indigoOP•2mo ago

I generally avoid flatpak because of the space overhead (64GB SD card is the boot volume), but I can try Right now no flatpak is installed on the system at all

CommandMC•2mo ago

Well, you're gonna need newer graphics drivers. You can either bite the overhead bullet and go with Flatpak, or replace your current ones with ones that may not work

fascinating-indigoOP•2mo ago

Backports is usually stable. I just don't know how to replace mesa properly. Is running the install command on mesa-vulkan while specifying backports repo enough to upgrade the full mesa stack?

CommandMC•2mo ago

I would very much recommend looking into a different form of primary storage medium though. SD cards will wear out quickly and will be quite slow

fascinating-indigoOP•2mo ago

Unfortunately, I literally cannot, it's the only possible boot volume other than a flash drive Trust me. The SD is faster

CommandMC•2mo ago

I don't have enough experience with Debian to answer that

fascinating-indigoOP•2mo ago

Well, I'll give it a shot. If that doesn't help I'll try flatpak Heroic Oh, seems I need to add backports repo first Guess I do that, then run apt install Can't do any of this rn, so I'll report back on... Monday

fascinating-indigoOP•5w ago

Success! Fix was pretty simple, Debian 12 has outdated graphics drivers for this CPU/iGPU

Solution

fascinating-indigo•5w ago

Added bookworm-backports to apt, ran sudo apt install -t bookworm-backports mesa-vulkan-drivers

fascinating-indigoOP•5w ago

Upgrading mesa-vulkan this way also caused all mesa packages to be upgraded to 25.0.7 @CommandMC, if anyone runs into this issue, this should be the fix ^
