SyntaxError: Invalid file magic number with protontricks from AUR #189

Closed CygnusTerminal closed 1 year ago

CygnusTerminal commented 1 year ago

Describe the bug Whenever i select a game from protontricks --gui or directly doing protontricks appid winecfg, it fails with SyntaxError: Invalid file magic number

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Run command protontricks appid winecfg
  2. Command fails and error is displayed

Expected behavior I expect protontricks to open winecfg for the game i am trying to tweak.

System (please complete the following information):

Hello soulsofblack/cygnus, I ran into this issue exactly the same time you did tonight. I was able to resolve it by returning to Steam stable version rather than beta, it appears the format of vdf has changed and the magic isn't valid any more. I tried to make it ignore the magic, but later on issue with structure size occurs, and will need a update later on if this beta change goes to live.

Can confirm this is also happening with the Steam Deck. Exactly the same "magic number" error. Is there an ETA on the fix? (No pressure.)

just chiming in as i got this same error. happens with any game selected (non-steam games and steam games).

edit: can confirm noxinias's comment regarding returning to Stable branch of Steam. Protontricks started to work again after doing this.

Hi, thanks for chiming in! I will go back to Stable for the time being, thanks for your help!

The new Steam beta introduced a new version of appinfo.vdf.

1.10.1 has been released with a fix. The Flatpak app should receive this update shortly.
