to format the above better one resolved it by installing a updated dxvk with some wine versions two of us tried to fix using the above but doesnt work so likely is something different, alas no clue what it seems to only affect linux & mac 2 arch, 1 steamdeck, 1 mac, 1 unknown when trying to install splatoon it gives the following error;

this is the error when trying to open the gui of splatoon

Hey, please try using winetricks dxvk

[Omnicidiel]

Tried winetricks but continues not to work especially on steam deck

[Bichunhi]

Hey, please try using winetricks dxvk

this works, make sure winetricks is updated winetricks --self-update then run WINEPREFIX=~/.xlcore/wineprefix winetricks dxvk

if using xivlauncher-rb, there is no need to change the dxvk used in settings

[Oldskooldkm]

is there a way to do that via protontricks? Tried running that in konsole and doesn't work, also winetricks doesn't appear in the discover store as well. Am running on steam deck, looks like splatoon installs but it won't load the settings at all.

[Limiana]

No idea honestly, I'm working on bringing back old renderer as an option, that doesn't have this issue

[Omnicidiel]

I have even tried lutris to install the wine tricks but still unable to show splatoon reinstalled and installed still no luck

[Bichunhi]

edit2: legacy render is out, use that instead of the guide written edit1: might be worth to wait for a dev to fix the issue instead of this workaround for steamdeck users

this method enables devmode look up to see if this is something youre okay with i dont know if protontricks would work the method below works for omnicidiel

• lowercase and uppercase on terminal commands is important
• text like this is ment to be written in terminal/konsole

setup a password for your user in konsole using passwd this enables sudo for your user (be sure to remember the password) enable dev mode sudo steamos-devmode enable and restart steamdeck now run steamos-devmode -h to disable read-only mode and populate the pacman keyring it will download serveral things related to headers and development tools

now you can install packages from the arch linux repository sudo pacman -S winetricks

update winetricks using sudo winetricks --self-update

install dxvk to the wineprefix to fix splatoon using WINEPREFIX=~/.xlcore/wineprefix winetricks dxvk

if you did winetricks dxvk before doing the self update you need to WINEPREFIX=~/.xlcore/wineprefix winetricks --force dxvk

confirm if it works

enable readonly sudo steamos-readonly enable disable devmode steamos-devmode disable

[Oldskooldkm]

Can confirm the above worked for me! Much Thanks!

[Oldskooldkm]

Seems like since doing the above, I can no longer bring up my steam keyboard with the steam key + x. Doesn't work if I'm in ffxiv in game, but if I swifch over to the xiv launcher, it will work.

Anyone know a way around this?

[Limiana]

I've released testing version which allows to switch between old and new renderers. Ideally, I'd need to work with someone who has access to mac/linux to do decent testing or just gather logs if it still fails to load properly
