Patch command failed (I think)

[Zapstars]

After following the steps to the letter the game still told me .net was out of date. I tried running the command again and noticed that in the readout after the winetricks command, it says "Unknown arg dotnet472" Using dotnet48 returns a similar message. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: Try updating winetricks with: sudo winetricks --self-update then run the patch script again.

If it does not work then: Can you tell me which version of winetricks you are using? You can find this by typing winetricks --version

[Zapstars]

After writing my comment I tried downloaded winetricks from the internet and installing it that way instead of letting ubuntu do it for me. I'm no longer getting the "unknown arg" but another odd issue is happening now.

After running the command it gets stuck in a loop spitting out thousands of errors and making my hard drive sound like a diesel engine.

It'll spit this out about a hundred times among other errors before trying it all over again: "PngEncoder_CreateInstance Failed writing PNG because unable to find libpng12.so.0" (Not the only error but is most likely the root)

Also I checked the winetricks version and got "20191224-next - sha256sum: ad7e49675d0a0a1c375e28c43b5c923165fb1950f423d1d8ddbfb48248c99c6d "

Just realized I'm using wine 3.0. I'll update to 5.0 and try again. Edit: Issue still occurs on wine 5.0

Alright... let's get some logs from the setup process. You need to run the following commands separately: (Note make sure you replace the WINEPREFIX path with the one where Space Engineers is installed at ** Usually located at $HOME/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/244850/pfx)

WINEPREFIX="PATH/TO/SPACEENGINEERS/compatdata/244850/pfx" winetricks --force -q dotnet48 > $HOME/DOTNET.log

WINEPREFIX="PATH/TO/SPACEENGINEERS/compatdata/244850/pfx" winetricks --force -q vcrun2015 > $HOME/VCRUN.log

WINEPREFIX="PATH/TO/SPACEENGINEERS/compatdata/244850/pfx" winetricks --force -q faudio > $HOME/FAUDIO.log

[Zapstars]

DOTNET.log FAUDIO.log VCRUN.log

My guess is I need a 32 bit install.

[Linux74656]

The game requires a 64bit prefix. However some components need the i386 archetecture enabled to run. You can enable it with sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 the run: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade

EDIT: Does the game start at all now? Does it still show a dotnet error?

[Zapstars]

I ran all three commands but it's still complaining about me using a 64-bit prefix. Also, I'm 99% sure I already ran those exact three commands following a guide for installing wine 5.

EDIT: Also the game doesn't start up at all now, even to the .net error window.

[Linux74656]

The warning about using a 64bit prefix is normal. It can be ignored for the most applications. Post the space engineers logs found ..../pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Application Data/SpaceEngineers/ and their should be two logs SpaceEngineers.log and VRageRenderer-DirectX11.log

If they do not exist add PROTON_LOG=1 %command% to your steam launch options, then post the steam-244850.log file found in your home directory.

[Zapstars]

SpaceEngineers.log VRageRender-DirectX11.log

[Linux74656]

First try setting your space engineers wineprefix to winxp, you can do it with: WINEPREFIX="PATH/TO/SPACEENGINEERS/compatdata/244850/pfx" winetricks winxp

If that does not fix it: Verify the integrity of your game files through steam. Delete your prefix and recreate it manually with: WINEPREFIX="PATH/TO/SPACEENGINEERS/compatdata/244850/pfx" winetricks --force -q dotnet48 vcrun2015 faudio d3dcompiler_47 winxp If that gets you into the game with a weird stutter, then close the game and run the autopatcher again, and run this sudo iptables -A INPUT -s 88.146.207.227 -j DROP in your terminal(it blocks the space engineers analytics server which has recently been causing issues.)

[Zapstars]

Neither patch worked. I'm gonna go ahead and try reinstalling the game again and following the patch from scratch. I'll let you know how it goes.

[Zapstars]

Did a complete reinstall of space engineers, edited SpaceEngineers.exe.config, and ran: WINEPREFIX="my space engineers/pfx" winetricks --force -q dotnet48 vcrun2015 faudio d3dcompiler_47 winxp

Launching the game still brings up the .net error.

[Linux74656]

That most likely means it did not install dotnet into the correct prefix... Where is your game installed? Post your path to SpaceEngineers.exe

[Zapstars]

Went back in terminal and copied the exact command I ran: WINEPREFIX="/home/dlenhard/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/244850/pfx" winetricks --force -q dotnet48 vcrun2015 faudio d3dcompiler_47 winxp

[Linux74656]

Is space engineers installed at "/home/dlenhard/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/SpaceEngineers/" ? If so that means dotnet48 failed. Try using your existing prefix and use WINEPREFIX="/home/dlenhard/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/244850/pfx" winetricks --force -q dotnet472

[Zapstars]

That is where space engineers is installed.

Also ran the suggested command and it works now, thanks for all the help and sorry for being such a pain.

[Linux74656]

It's perfectly alright! I'm glad it works!
