Wine looking for ntdll.so when adding d3dcompiler_43 and 47 (GloriousEggroll)

Describe the bug A clear and concise description of what the bug is. Trying to Mass effect legendary edition working, was told to use GloriousEggroll's newest build and this protontricks command. An error is thrown up and the process not started when command is run.

To Reproduce When set to use Glorious Eggroll's Proton-6.8-GE-2 release, attempting to run the following command throws up the error protontricks 1328670 d3dcompiler_43 d3dcompiler_47

Error

Did you first run the game using a Proton version other than Proton-6.8-GE-2 or GE-1 and then change it? The changelog for GE-1 states:

IMPORTANT NOTES: Due to large changes in wine 6.5+, you will need to remove old/current prefixes for any games launched with this version. Old prefixes will not work.

If that is the case, you can try removing /mnt/a6d1e6a8-9969-4870-ab3f-91de82998e0b/Steam Games/steamapps/compatdata/1328670 directory (you will lose your local save data, ensure it is backed up), launch the game again and then try running the Protontricks command again.

Nope, same error message. And as far as I can tell, there is no such thing as an ntdll.so file in GloriousEggroll, just in the newest steam proton versions.

Could you try running the following commands and posting the resulting output?

# You will need strace for the following command, so install it
$ sudo apt install strace

$ protontricks -c bash 1328670
# A new shell will be opened. Run the following commands inside it and copy the output.
$ wine --version
$ strace -e trace=open,openat,execve wine --version 2>&1 | grep ntdll

In my case, the last two commands have the following output:

$ wine --version
wine-6.8 (Staging)
$ strace -e trace=open,openat,execve wine --version 2>&1 | grep ntdll
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/home/matoking/.local/share/Steam/compatibilitytools.d/Proton-6.8-GE-2/files/bin/../lib/wine/i386-unix/ntdll.so", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE|O_CLOEXEC) = 3

In the latter case, the Wine executable is able to find the ntdll.so file properly; multiple openat lines would indicate it's trying to find the file but failing for some reason.

$wine -- version

wine: could not load ntdll.so: /home/creativegrey/.steam/root/compatibilitytools.d/Proton-6.8-GE-2/files/lib/wine/ntdll.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

OK, it seems that Proton-6.8-GE-2 requires a specific Steam Runtime installation, which was not enabled by Protontricks. I've pushed a bug fix to custom_proton_runtime branch that should hopefully solve this issue. Could you check if it solves the issue?

If you installed Protontricks using pipx, the following should let you install the fix:

pipx install git+https://github.com/Matoking/protontricks.git@custom_proton_runtime

That does seem to have fixed the ntdll.so issue, now the only issue I can find is something about binding directories that are located under "/usr"

The line

pressure-vessel-wrap[15285]: W: Binding directories that are located under "/usr/" is not supported!

is just a warning and should not affect behavior unless your Steam library is located under /usr. This does not appear to be the case, but if it was, it would need to be moved since Steam Runtime/Proton doesn't support it. I've pushed a change to the custom_proton_runtime to prevent Protontricks from trying to mount the directory unnecessarily which should fix those warnings.

Other than that, are you able to install d3dcompiler_43 and d3dcompiler_47 as normal? The output for d3dcompiler_43 looks usual aside from the warnings; those necessarily don't mean the commands are failing. The output for d3dcompiler_47 appears to be missing, so did the command stop there instead of continuing the installation?

You could also do a quick test by running the command protontricks 1328670 winecfg; this should open a configuration window for Wine if it's working properly.

Looking back at it yeah, i think it all worked correctly, but I guess this just means that my problem with Mass Effect is something else, oh well.

Thanks for all the help!

Thanks for the help as well! I'll merge the fix into master and close this issue.
