Can't open protontricks after deleting and regenerating prefix folder #193

Closed ThePwnd closed 1 year ago

ThePwnd commented 1 year ago

Describe the bug Protontricks GUI fails to open

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Run command protontricks 252950 --gui
  2. Select default wine prefix
  3. Select the "Delete ALL FILES..." option
  4. Verify that the selected folder is the prefix folder for Rocket League
  5. Click "OK"
  6. Run command protontricks 252950 --gui again, after the previous operation finishes
  7. Command fails and error is displayed referencing lack of prefix folder
  8. Try launching Rocket League from Steam until it gets hung on Microsoft DirectX step of first time setup
  9. Close the first time setup window
  10. Try reinstalling Rocket League on Steam until it gets hung while uninstalling
  11. Logout of Steam
  12. Manually delete Rocket League local files from Steam library folder, including appmanifest file
  13. Log back into Steam to find that Rocket League is still "installed."
  14. Verify integrity of game cache and wait for Steam to redownload files
  15. Run command protontricks 252950 --gui again
  16. Command fails with error citing empty string returned from %AppData%

Expected behavior The protontricks GUI will open to the Rocket League Wine prefix

System (please complete the following information):

Additional context Not related to the error I'm getting now, but if you wanted some context as to why I felt the need to delete the prefix, I am ultimately trying to get BakkesMod working - a third party addon for Rocket League that allows running custom plugins and playing custom maps on multiplayer. After installing and attempting to run the .exe file through Protontricks, I was greeted with a flood of errors citing the import_dll library was missing a bunch of required dependencies. Upon researching this error, I was told to try reinstalling with a clean prefix folder, and it was only after I deleted the folder with protontricks that all of these problems started cropping up.

Additional context related to the above operations is that I can't even open the game from Steam anymore. It says it's running but it never opens. Furthermore, everytime I try to launch it, it goes through the first time setup steps.

I presume you could reproduce the same error with other protontricks commands, and probably by running the same steps on a different Steam app, but I haven't tested either of those hypotheses.

If the error happens when trying to run a Protontricks command, run the command again using the -v flag and copy the output!

The "Delete prefix" option in Winetricks deletes the Wine prefix, but not the compatdata directory that contains the Wine prefix in addition to some other files.

In your case, you'll have to find the Wine prefix for Rocket League (ID 252950) by running the following command:

protontricks -c "echo \$WINEPREFIX" 252950

It should a path such as /mnt/SSD/SteamLibrary/steamapps/compatdata/252950/pfx. You have to delete the compatdata/252950 directory and then relaunch the game for the prefix to be recreated properly.

Flatpak version of Protontricks now ships a fork of Winetricks where the deletion of Proton Wine prefixes is performed in full.

The fork of Winetricks might be shipped with Protontricks itself in the future, though that will require much more work; the assumption until now has been that the distro provides the Winetricks installation that Protontricks uses.
