Apex Legends - Wine bridge fails to initialize with seemingly no error message

[deltainium]

Hello, hope you're doing well. I've managed to successfully install LatencyFleX for Overwatch 2 but for some reason Apex Legends has been giving me a some trouble.

Troubleshooting steps taken

• I have triple checked that I installed everything correctly from the install instructions
• I have gone through the troubleshooting step and nothing has been applicable up until "Checking if the Wine bridge successfully initialized" I see that Loading latencyflex_layer.dll failed with error code: 1114 except unlike the troubleshooting steps guide, the only error code appears to be some unrelated NvAPI_QueryInterface:

Snippet of log file DXVK_NVAPI_DRIVER_VERSION is set to '49729', reporting driver version 497.29 1326.498:0128:012c:trace:loaddll:build_module Loaded L"C:\\windows\\system32\\latencyflex_layer.dll" at 0000000058850000: builtin 1326.498:0128:012c:trace:loaddll:free_modref Unloaded module L"C:\\windows\\system32\\latencyflex_layer.dll" : builtin Loading latencyflex_layer.dll failed with error code: 1114 NvAPI_Initialize: OK NvAPI_QueryInterface (0x33c7358c): Unknown function ID NvAPI_QueryInterface (0x593e8644): Unknown function ID NvAPI_D3D_SetSleepMode: No implementation

Please note that I have verified that both liblatencyflex_layer.so and latencyflex_layer.so have been installed correctly. Furthermore I haven't used a single symlink, every file has been copied manually to its respective install directory.

Some info that may be of relevance

• I am using Proton-GE as opposed to Valve's proton
• Proton-GE is installed onto my main drive, while Apex is installed on a separate drive
• Proton-GE is up to date, so NVAPI v0.6 is installed

Please let me know if there is anything else I can provide to help out. Full log file is attached bellow. steam-1172470.log

Hi, can you try finding toolmanifest.vdf in your Proton installation dir and replace it with https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/blob/proton_7.0/toolmanifest_noruntime.vdf? That should disable the Steam container runtime which has been causing loading failures for some.

Worked like a charm, thanks a million for the swift reply and the help!
