Hello @W73, please add PROTON_LOG=1 %command%
to the game's launch options and drag and drop the generated $HOME/steam-$APPID.log into the comment box.
Ok. I will try.
Thanks. Daughter will be happy.
Thanks, for easy reference, this game uses the Yaga game engine which is fairly rare with 5 releases between 2002-2003.
Unfortunately this game seems to be broken on Windows, too, in the exact same way. Apparently the game requires your system to have a CD drive available, see this discussion: https://steamcommunity.com/app/294700/discussions/0/1642042464734212682/
You can actually work around this in Proton, and the game does launch and play! These steps worked for me:
1) Set your Steam launch options for this game to PROTON_DUMP_DEBUG_COMMANDS=1 %command%
2) Launch the game and let it fail.
3) In a Terminal, run /tmp/proton_$USER/run winecfg
4) In the configuration dialog that pops up, on the Drives tab, select "Add..." and choose drive D:
.
5) Select drive D:
in the dialog, choose "Show Advanced", change the Path to /mnt
and change the Type to CD-ROM
. See screenshot below.
6) Click OK.
7) The game should now work. You can now clear out the launch options dialog.
Give it a shot! Do note that some other users in the Steam community have reported other problems with the game on Windows. It appears to be pretty buggy :(
Thanks for hint, but i am not able to do find that /tmp on flatpak version of steam. I was able found that $HOME with steam-294700.log, but not /tmp. I will investigate that.
Sorry, I have no idea how flatpak works. If you figure it out, I'd be interested to hear what happened.
I am able to run winecfg utility via
$HOME/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/data/Steam/steamapps/common/Proton 4.11/dist/bin/wine64 winecfg
i set it per image, but no success.
I also tried Netherland Language version, it came with different cfg file, but it fails too.
Compatibility Report
System Information
I confirm:
[X] that I haven't found an existing compatibility report for this game. Found problem with Windows 7/8/10 solved by some Daemon Tools.
[X] that I have checked whether there are updates for my system available.
Symptoms
Does not start. Found this in app directory . I think it is not related to Proton at all.
Seems to be easily solved. But i am not developer.
Reproduction
Run it.
