Enclave game for Linux does not launch #5686

Open legluondunet opened 6 years ago

legluondunet commented 6 years ago

Hello,

Enclave for Linux https://store.steampowered.com/app/253980/Enclave/ does not launch for several months, it uses an obsolete Wine version. Could you ask the developer to correct this issue. You should even prevent your Linux users that the game does not work before they buy it.

Thank you for your help.

I can confirm that Enclave (like Two Worlds:Epic Edition and possibly all games Wine wrapped by Topware) is no longer working on Ubuntu 18.04 and likely on all newer distributions. The port itself is well done, but it uses an older customized version of Wine (1.8.1) unusable on Ubuntu 18.04. On SteamOS 2.0 the port is still working in excellent conditions, but that will most probably end when SteamOS 3.0 will arrive.

I think the real solution to this would be to override the Linux version and force the use of Steam Play: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/617 https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/5638

There are a lot of questionable ports that either don't work anymore, never worked properly, or are slow.

When a game does not work anymore and is not maintained, what are generally doing Steam in this case?

nstgc commented 6 years ago

@legluondunet Presumably, we're SOL. Our best bet is to hope ValvE impliments an override which would allow us to play the Windows version with Steam Play.

You can also, which is what I did from Day 1, use another version of Wine. I have CrossOver so I pointed the launch script towards that version of wine.

edit: I was going to share my launch script, but it seems to have been overwritten during an update or something. Its identically to the back up I made :(

@nstgc I'm OK with you, when we could use SteamPlay even if a Linux native port is available will resolve half of this issue. I already posted a workaround on Steam Enclave discussions for Linux users to play Enclave meanwhile the dev or Steam do something. I think the better way here is to remove the Linux label for this game until the dev correct his game.

nstgc commented 6 years ago

Oh, I see what you mean. Not "what do we do as players", nor "what should be done to fix the game" but rather "what should be done about the SITUATION". Ah, yes. I'm not sure how this will turn out. I'm guessing that ValvE is giving some incentive to companies for releasing games for Linux, so they probably won't be happy that they got cheated.

Well as you people probably know by now the Steam Linux client has enabled the ability to load all windows games using your native Linux WINE installation or any Steam Proton version globally or on an individual game by game basis.

I haven't been able to play Enclave on Linux since I bought it in a sale years ago. I happened to be going through my Steam library and decided to give the game another go. Using the latest Proton version to play the windows version of the game ran fine on my system and I played through the 1st few missions on the light side.

This issue can probably be closed at this point.

I confirm that this game works far better with Wine/Proton than the Linux version which isn't native but uses an old Wine version. To my point of view, the Linux version should not be sell anymore.
