Northstar v1.11.1 refuses to launch on Linux through EA App on Wine 7.20-staging #405

Bug

First, I wasn't able to get the Lutris installer to work as Origin wouldn't let me log in during the installation process. Second, I created the following script:

Script ```sh #!/usr/bin/env bash set -euo pipefail # Configuration options export WINEPREFIX="$HOME/media2/game/wine/ea-games" NORTHSTAR_VERSION=1.11.1 # Reduce stdout spam (comment out for debugging) # export WINEDEBUG=-all export DXVK_LOG_LEVEL=none # Shader cache export __GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_SKIP_CLEANUP=1 export __GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE=1 export __GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_PATH="$WINEPREFIX/shader-disk-cache" mkdir -p "$__GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_PATH" if [[ -n ${1+x} ]] && [[ "$1" == "northstar" ]]; then pushd "$WINEPREFIX/drive_c/Program Files/EA Games/Titanfall2" wine64 Titanfall2.exe -noborder -novid popd elif [[ -n ${1+x} ]] && [[ "$1" == "install-northstar" ]]; then # Install Northstar pushd "$WINEPREFIX/drive_c/Program Files/EA Games/Titanfall2" if [[ ! -f "Northstar.release.v$NORTHSTAR_VERSION.zip" ]]; then curl -LO "https://github.com/R2Northstar/Northstar/releases/download/v$NORTHSTAR_VERSION/Northstar.release.v$NORTHSTAR_VERSION.zip" fi if [[ ! -f Titanfall2.exe.original ]]; then mv Titanfall2.exe Titanfall2.exe.original fi unzip -o "Northstar.release.v$NORTHSTAR_VERSION.zip" ln -sf NorthstarLauncher.exe Titanfall2.exe popd elif [[ -n ${1+x} ]] && [[ "$1" == "unlink-northstar" ]]; then # Unlink Northstar pushd "$WINEPREFIX/drive_c/Program Files/EA Games/Titanfall2" ln -sf Titanfall2.exe.original Titanfall2.exe popd elif [[ -n ${1+x} ]] && [[ "$1" == "winetricks" ]]; then # Install necessary things via winetricks winetricks -q dxvk d3dcompiler_43 d3dcompiler_47 elif [[ -n ${1+x} ]] && [[ "$1" == "install-ea-app" ]]; then # Install the EA App pushd "$WINEPREFIX" curl -O "https://origin-a.akamaihd.net/EA-Desktop-Client-Download/installer-releases/EAappInstaller.exe" wine64 EAappInstaller.exe popd elif [[ -n ${1+x} ]] && [[ "$1" == "ea-app" ]]; then # Launch the EA App pushd "$WINEPREFIX/drive_c/Program Files/Electronic Arts/EA Desktop/EA Desktop" wine64 EADesktop.exe popd elif [[ -n ${1+x} ]] && [[ "$1" == "wineserver-kill" ]]; then wineserver -k elif [[ -n ${1+x} ]] && [[ "$1" == "winecfg" ]]; then winecfg else echo "Pick a thing to launch!" echo echo "If this is your first time, do things in this order:" echo echo "1. winetricks" echo "2. install-ea-app" echo " 1.

Play the game!" echo " 2. Once the above steps are completed, this is the only thing you need to do" fi ```

Unfortunately, step 5 (running Northstar) fails:

I don't know why there are seemingly random newlines in `stdout`, it just prints that way. Not a copy paste error.

I'm pretty sure this is unrelated to the EA App permissions issues some people are having, because I see Northstar successfully creating files/directories like Titanfall2/bin/x64_retail/wsock32.dll and Titanfall2/bin/x64_dedi.

Running the vanilla game (e.g. by undoing the symlink) works fine.

Steps to reproduce

Follow the instructions included in the script, then Northstar will crash before opening a window.

CobaltCause commented 1 year ago

v1.9.7 and v1.10.9 both crash on startup but then launch and continue to work normally after dismissing the crash dialog once it pops up about a minute or so after launching the game. Very weird. v1.11.0 has the same behavior as v1.11.1 (neither of which ever open a crash dialog or game window).

GeckoEidechse commented 1 year ago

A big change in v1.11.0 was updates to the crash handler. I guess that causes the "old method" to break in the process à la XKCD 1172. However the thing is, it shouldn't crash in the first place which is the underlying issue that needs to be tackled.

Not sure what our Wine recommendation is outside of NorthstarProton, so I'll need a Northstar Linux contributor to chime in here ^^

GeckoEidechse commented 1 year ago

It's also interesting to see that vanilla still works :eyes:

GeckoEidechse commented 1 year ago

Another note, for Northstar on Linux, the Steam version of Titanfall2 is the main target simply cause it offers a more unified experience across distros, which means less edge cases caused by weird distro combinations.

Titanfall2 on Steam is still on sale right now for one more day for <5€. So if you want this issue fixed for your right now and are fine with paying that small price, I highly recommend rebuying on Steam, ^^

RootCellar commented 1 year ago

I had this issue as well, the only fix I found was to use NorthstarProton through Steam. To do so on the newer versions you need fairly recent packages so I had to do this inside a Fedora distrobox because my host environment is Ubuntu and wouldn't work with NorthstarProton. Vanilla would work with Proton 7.05 but Northstar would not, it would get to that exact same line in the log then just stop.

lay-by commented 1 year ago

I had this issue, I originally fixed it by using Proton-7.3-GE-1. Later on I upgraded to a newer version of Proton GE and ran into this issue again. I solved it by deleting the IGO64 and IGO32 dlls from my game's wineprefix and ~/Games/titanfall-2. Reverting to origin instead of using EA Desktop also fixes the issue.

CobaltCause commented 1 year ago

Closing this because it's pretty old and Northstar 1.18.0 works fine on Wine 8.13-staging through the EA App now (for me at least).
