I can't start ANY game

[ghost]

Describe the bug Installing games works correctly. But when I try to start a game, ANY of them, the button changes to PLAYING (STOP) and then to start again. When I launch things from Wine directly that doesn't happen. I haven't tried with Legendary directly.

To Reproduce

1. Install Heroic
2. Login
3. Start a game (neither rayman nor rocket league worked)
4. See error

Expected behavior I install the game, I start it, and I can play it.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Ubuntu 21.04
• Version 1.7.0 moria
• Game: Rayman Legends/Rocket league
• Wine/Proton version:
• Wine 6.0.1, Proton Experimental
• Hardware specs (RAM, CPU, GPU): ryzen 7 cpu 64 bits, amd rx 5500 xt gpu. 16gb ram

On version you should put heroic version.

Done

On our wiki, there are a few troubleshooting guides. Also, how to get logs about a game not working. You can start from there. We also have our discord that would be good for you to join since you also want to contribute with code. 🙂

I've already joined the Discord server.

Sorry for not sharing the logs. Here they are:

mesa: for the --simplifycfg-sink-common option: may only occur zero or one times!

launching Anchovy

 Launch Command:        /opt/heroic/resources/app.asar.unpacked/build/bin/linux/legendary launch Anchovy  --wine  --wine-prefix '/home/dragon/.wine' 
usage: legendary launch <App Name> [options]
legendary launch: error: argument --wine: expected one argument

The game works perfectly for most people.

Is this issue already reported? Sounds familiar to me :thinking:

[flavioislima]

Yes earlier on discord. I sent the fix as a PR on #441. Compile a deb from the updated main branch that should work 🙂

Now it only says 'stop' and never shows the game's window. Logs:

launching Sugar

 Launch Command:        /tmp/.mount_HeroicjZsmse/resources/app.asar.unpacked/build/bin/linux/legendary launch Sugar  --wine wine --wine-prefix '/home/dragon/.wine' 

Python is not missing! I can launch both python and python3. Maybe it's using the wrong shell? I've python in zsh.

[flavioislima]

No, the python info is misleading. Now check the game logs. Are you on X11 or wayland?

I'm on X11.

The game logs are:

Error - Command failed:        /tmp/.mount_Heroic8WGYsw/resources/app.asar.unpacked/build/bin/linux/legendary launch Anchovy  --wine  --wine-prefix '/home/dragon/.wine' 
usage: legendary launch <App Name> [options]
legendary launch: error: argument --wine: expected one argument

Which is fake, if you look at the launch command it is passing wine as an argument

Yeah but this doesn't look like the fixed version I sent. Use that one and go to the settings and change anything like the dxvk setting. Check if the json config file for that game had updated. It should not be wine should be the whole path.

It is the version I compiled from the main branch. I am checking It tomorrow.

[flavioislima]

@dragonDScript have you tried again?

[ghost]

It hasn't worked.

[flavioislima]

But what happens when you change the game config in heroic and checks if the Json file with the config changes? It gets updated somehow? Also, can you try downloading some other wine version, like the ones from Lutris? Or proton from steam? And check if it works

I have a version from Lutris. I'll try it later (I'm not in my work PC). I also tried proton in the past, and it didn't work.

[ghost]

From Lutris it doesn't work either.
