@MadByteDE Can confirm that the latest Winetricks and vcrun2017 and Proton 5.11 solved the translation issue, texts are now being displayed.

[smirgol]

Nice work! I successfully was able to launch the game after applying your patch. I had to remove/rename the "AchievementsVDF.vdf" in "localization/en" though, or it would crash after the loading bar filled.

Glad to hear it. (btw I used the latest stable 5.0-9 Proton for everything.)

How do your text strings look? If they start with a # then either the winetricks update and vcrun installation may have failed or there's another issue with the game I haven't seen yet.

[smirgol]

Strings are okay, your script did update winetricks and installed vcrun2017 without problems. Without vcrun2017 there were only placeholders with an "#" in front, but with it's all fine.

Hm.. I wonder why you had to delete the file since it got fixed by the winetricks update on my end. But if everything else works and you can access the settings menu everything should be fine.

[smirgol]

Weird. I now have restored the AchievementsVDF.vdf file and it does not crash anymore. But I swear it initially did. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ Only minor thing is, after the game is loaded and the main menu shows up, I need to tab out and back, otherwise I cannot click anything. Besides that everything seems to work, played for a couple of minutes already.

[leinardi]

Just bought the game, and it crashes at the end of the initial loading screen:

[MadByteDE]

@leinardi Try to temporarily move/delete "AchievementsVDF.vdf" from the game folder i.e /home/USERNAME/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Foundation/localization/en and report back if that changes anything.

[leinardi]

@MadByteDE Renaming AchievementsVDF.vdf seems a valid workaround. Now I can reach the main menu, but all the localized strings are missing:

I have installed the installed the winetricks but doesn't seem to be enough:

leinardi@c7h:/media/Steam/steamapps/common/Foundation$ sudo winetricks --self-update
leinardi@c7h:/media/Steam/steamapps/common/Foundation$ WINEPREFIX=$( realpath ../../compatdata/690830/pfx ) winetricks -q vcrun2017

console output

[MadByteDE]

Ah, I guess the winetricks update failed because you didn't run winetricks --self-update as root. try using sudo winetricks --self-update. If the installation succeeds you'll most likely need to delete the pfx, run the game and crash once more, and then do WINEPREFIX=/media/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/690830/pfx winetricks -q vcrun2017. If everything works, you can add the archivementsVDF.vdf back to the en localization folder.

[kisak-valve]

Hello @leinardi, please use a gist for logs or attach them as a file instead of pasting walls of text.

[leinardi]

@MadByteDE Sorry, I didn't copy pasted the winetricks update line like because I already closed the terminal and forgot to add the sudo inside my message, but I executed it with it.

The update went well and I got the latest version installed:

leinardi@c7h:/media/Steam/steamapps/common/Foundation$ winetricks --version
20200412-next - sha256sum: 5c62bc038fd3ac7fa1e0d09123c61e1034cc5431719f5a1768dcb4bd91990cca

I already tried to delete the wine prefix but the result is the same.

@kisak-valve sure, sorry.

[leinardi]

And clicking the settings makes the game crash:

Since my OS language is not set to English I tried to add

and

to the launch options but doesn't make any difference.

[Sebastiangperez]

I can't use winetricks , this message appear : warning: You are using a 64-bit WINEPREFIX. Note that many verbs only install 32-bit versions of packages. If you encounter problems, please retest in a clean 32-bit WINEPREFIX before reporting a bug.

But i download the exe files and run it like this : WINEPREFIX=/home/.../.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/690830/pfx /home/.../.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Proton\ 5.0/dist/bin/wine VC_redist.x(version).exe version means x86 or x64 and i installed both , i already did this and the language is not fixed. But now, i rename the Achivements and the game keeps crashing.

Any toughts ?

[MadByteDE]

@leinardi yeah, I had this problem a lot, but since updating winetricks everthing worked fine. Your winetricks execution looks very different from the one I get, so I still think something went wrong with updating winetricks. There's lines missing like Executing wine winecfg -v winxp64, and a lot of different stuff going on. This is my output: GIST

btw my local wine version is 5.18. Maybe it has something to do with this.

[leinardi]

The sha256sum of your version is different and so is the wine version:

Using winetricks 20200412-next - sha256sum: 8efa7c2d4b96045bf6dec3a4b60be588c4c9a7da4e6de7c010cb6f21e2fb708f with wine-5.18 and WINEARCH=win64
Using winetricks 20200412-next - sha256sum: 5c62bc038fd3ac7fa1e0d09123c61e1034cc5431719f5a1768dcb4bd91990cca with wine-5.0 and WINEARCH=win64

I'll try with a newer version of wine.

[smirgol]

Hm, I replayed the installation and it still works for me:

1. remove prefix
2. start game, let it crash. new prefix will be created
3. install vcrun2017 with either winetricks or protontricks
4. rename "localisation/en/AchievementsVDF.vdf" ( can be later renamed back, once the game started successfully at least once )
5. start game

I'm using Proton 5.0-9. for this game.

@leinardi There's one thing I've noticed, the sha256sum of my winetricks installation, which winetricks prints at the start, is different than yours: 8efa7c2d4b96045bf6dec3a4b60be588c4c9a7da4e6de7c010cb6f21e2fb708f Though the version"20200412-next" is the same. That's a bit strange.

[leinardi]

@smirgol what's your wine version?

[MadByteDE]

warning: You are using a 64-bit WINEPREFIX. Note that many verbs only install 32-bit versions of packages. If you encounter problems, please retest in a clean 32-bit WINEPREFIX before reporting a bug.

This is normal and can be ignored.

WINEPREFIX=/home/.../.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/690830/pfx /home/.../.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Proton\ 5.0/dist/bin/wine VC_redist.x(version).exe

This looks odd to me, winetricks is necessary to install vcrun since it provides workarounds for common bugs which will be needed to install the files properly.

Seeing all these issues it seems like the winetricks version everyone receives via --self-update somehow varies a bit, which might be the main problem here.

[smirgol]

@smirgol what's your wine version?

wine-5.18 (Staging)

[MadByteDE]

From the winetricks GitHub page:

Note: packaged Debian / Ubuntu winetricks versions are typically outdated, so a manual installation is recommended.

If the package is unavailable, outdated, or the latest version is desired, a manual installation of winetricks can be done. It is highly recommended to uninstall any previously installed version of winetricks first.

If you don't uninstall a previously installed, packaged version of winetricks... Well then you get to pick up the pieces!

And from the winetricks script itself:

# Name of this version of winetricks (YYYYMMDD)
# (This doesn't change often, use the sha256sum of the file when reporting problems)
WINETRICKS_VERSION=20200412-next

If you're on a debian based distro I'd recommand follow the instructions provided at https://github.com/Winetricks/winetricks

[smirgol]

To sum up the procedure:

Uninstall any winetricks you have installed with your package manager first!

Get the latest version (save manually or get it with curl): curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Winetricks/winetricks/master/src/winetricks > winetricks sudo mv winetricks /usr/bin/ sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/winetricks

I prefer /usr/local/bin over /usr/bin, but that's up to you.

[leinardi]

Finally works:

What I think was the issue? having 2 different version of winetricks installed:

leinardi@c7h:/media/Steam/steamapps/common/Foundation$ sudo winetricks --version
20200412-next - sha256sum: 8efa7c2d4b96045bf6dec3a4b60be588c4c9a7da4e6de7c010cb6f21e2fb708f

leinardi@c7h:/media/Steam/steamapps/common/Foundation$ winetricks --version
20200412-next - sha256sum: 5c62bc038fd3ac7fa1e0d09123c61e1034cc5431719f5a1768dcb4bd91990cca

leinardi@c7h:/media/Steam/steamapps/common/Foundation$ whereis winetricks
winetricks: /usr/bin/winetricks /usr/bin/winetricks.bak /home/leinardi/bin/winetricks /usr/share/man/man1/winetricks.1.gz

I was updating the system installation with sudo winetricks --self-update but then executing the user, outdated installation. Running winetricks --self-update without sudo solved the issue.

I had to delete the prefix and ran WINEPREFIX=$( realpath ../../compatdata/690830/pfx ) winetricks -q vcrun2017 again to get the proper installation. The output is now almost identical to the one form @MadByteDE gist.

I also upgraded wine to 5.18 staging but I don't think was needed (I did it before figuring out that I had 2 version of winetricks installed).

After installing vcrun2017 I don't have to rename AchievementsVDF.vdf anymore and the Settings menu opens correctly.

Thanks a lot for the help, I was very close to refund the game :+1:

[MadByteDE]

@leinardi Glad to see it works for you :+1:

What can we learn from it? If its a common issue I could add a check for any other winetricks version to the script to make sure it uses the right one when installing vcrun. Or just add a warning if the checksum is different from the known working wine version. I can't even run winetricks --self-update: warning: You don't have the proper permissions to run this command. Try again with sudo or as root.

[jury68000]

Doing --self-update before using winetricks for this game has done the trick! Now the labels in game show properly. Thank you for the tip!

[Sebastiangperez]

Sorry , i just update to proton 5.13 and the game keeps crashing. It will be some fix ?

[MadByteDE]

Sorry , i just update to proton 5.13 and the game keeps crashing. It will be some fix ?

The latest stable Proton version should be 5.0-9. Try this one first with the fixes described above. If it works with 5.0-9 but not with 5.13 (+ the fixes) then there might be a regression with the new build.

[Sebastiangperez]

Thanks , The game now Works.

[leinardi]

Just updated proton from 5.0-9 to 5.13-1 and works the same as before the upgrade.

[MadByteDE]

Just updated proton from 5.0-9 to 5.13-1 and works the same as before the upgrade.

Didn't see previously that that they released a new proton version (sorry for the misunderstanding). But it still works without issues for me as well.

[smirgol]

They've dropped a new preview build (Alpha 1.6.22.106) where the shader issue has been resolved!

[Vavooon]

Hi. I tried to run the game but it keeps crashing (or showing UI without translations). I tried to do the following:

1. Install Winetricks from master repo

   curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Winetricks/winetricks/master/src/winetricks > winetricks
   sudo mv winetricks /usr/bin/
   sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/winetricks

2. Remove the prefix

   rm -rf /home/$USER/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/690830

3. Run the game to create the prefix again
4. Install vcrun2017

   WINEPREFIX=/home/$USER/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/690830/pfx /usr/bin/winetricks -q vcrun2017

I use Ubuntu 20.04, latest preview branch of the game and Proton 5.13.

[Sebastiangperez]

I think you misses rename the Archivements.vdf and run it again. I did exactly what you did and worked for me.

[leinardi]

@Vavooon I would do also a sudo winetricks --self-update, just to be sure.

[MadByteDE]

@Vavooon Check your winetricks version with winetricks --version. The checksum should be 61509663b824d72daafec6a95986e5b256e19e0e8ec1d2b7c4e89cf52665d63b. Also, make sure you don't have two seperate winetricks versions installed.

[leinardi]

@Vavooon also, post the output of WINEPREFIX=/home/$USER/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/690830/pfx /usr/bin/winetricks -q vcrun2017, it could help to find the issue.

[Vavooon]

@Sebastiangperez I can proceed to main menu if I rename it, but there is no translation and it crashes if I open settings. @leinardi Tried to execute it too. @MadByteDE It is 20200412-next - sha256sum: 61509663b824d72daafec6a95986e5b256e19e0e8ec1d2b7c4e89cf52665d63b.

Here is winetricks log https://gist.github.com/Vavooon/df74df7f9e85f6efce4ed0ff66d883bb

[leinardi]

@Vavooon I just ran `winetricks --self-update` and got the same version you are using:

I start thinking that wine 5.18 is needed, can you try to update it to wine staging, delete the prefix and try again?

@Vavooon I just ran winetricks --self-update and got the same version you are using: I start thinking that wine 5.18 is needed, can you try to update it to wine staging, delete the prefix and try again?

Do you mean the proton wine version or your system version of wine?

Do you mean the proton wine version or your system version of wine?

winetricks does not use Proton but the system wine installation, as you can see from the logs:

[Vavooon]

So I installed wine-staging with sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-staging, re-created prefix and installed vcrun2017. Here's the log https://gist.github.com/Vavooon/a258f50f1d88a678834effbb08519d95 The game still crashes.

Neither helped protontricks 690830 -q vcrun2017.

But , i think you are mistaken with two different versions of wine, the one that you installed in the system globally and the other one that came with proton.

[Vavooon]

@Sebastiangperez Indeed, winetricks says it is using wine 5.19 now (that's the latest version from winehq), although protontricks seems to use 5.13. Do you have any idea how I could default to the Proton's version while running winetricks?

[Sebastiangperez]

Maybe you can point out after the prefix ,something like this : WINEPREFIX=/home/.../.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/690830/pfx /home/.../.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Proton\ 5.13/dist/bin/wine

[Vavooon]

Not sure I'm getting it. Am I supposed to run winetricks with Proton's wine version (it doesn't sound correct for me because winetricks is rather a script) or run it in some other way?

[Sebastiangperez]

Try this : I uninstall the game, delete the prefix, install the game, run it, let it crash, rename the Archivements.vdf file in localizacion (english directory), download the latest version of winetricks from github and run localy not globaly like ./winetricks in the current directory, mabye you can do a ./winetricks --self-update after that, then run the winetricks using the prefix pinting to WINEPREFIX=/home/(yourusername)/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/690830/pfx winetricks -q vcrun2017 All that worked for me.

[Vavooon]

@Sebastiangperez Tried exactly what you've suggested (however, the latest command was WINEPREFIX=/home/$USER/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/690830/pfx ./winetricks -q vcrun2017) and still no luck. The game starts without translations.

[Sebastiangperez]

Shit ... i had the same problem with the translations, but recently the game crashed when you starting up , i did all that with no hope. did you run the winetricks --self-update ? Do all that over again but with proton 5.09, the first time worked with this version, now i downloaded the patched version from the preview branch and im using the 5.13 version of proton.

[Vavooon]

Yes, I also tried winetricks --self-update Looks like the right way to ensure winetricks is using Proton's wine version is to set WINE variable, like

WINEPREFIX=/home/$USER/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/690830/pfx WINE=/home/$USER/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Proton\ 5.0/dist/bin/wine winetricks vcrun2017

so I get correct wine version in output

Using winetricks 20200412-next - sha256sum: 61509663b824d72daafec6a95986e5b256e19e0e8ec1d2b7c4e89cf52665d63b with wine-5.0-655-g2409bd1 and WINEARCH=win64

Anyways, it doesn't help.

[Sebastiangperez]

did you delete the 690830 folder? i did that too.
