The game does not start via Lutris

CavaleriOmar commented 4 years ago

Before exposing the problem, it is necessary to thank the existence of the possibility offered to be able to read the visual novel on Linux ... in my case EndeavourOS (it is an almost pure Arch, it has only one netinstaller with GUI and only one repo of different).

Speaking of the problem in question, neither the launcher created in the menu nor the one present in Lutris, allow the start of the novel. Now, I don't know if it's due to some setting error (the one in the fairies wizard, where I only selected "no explicit scenes") and if I accidentally touched something on that screen, but at every start attempt, it doesn't absolutely nothing happens.

Fascinating... and horrifying! I must admit this is the first startup issue we've had and that I myself sadly can't replicate this, which complicates my life. If you wouldn't mind running Lutris from a command-line terminal with the following command, perhaps we can isolate the underlying cause:

command lutris &>error.out

Let that run for a few minutes. Then, drag-and-drop the error.out text file created by that command in your next response to this GitHub issue. With any luck (and more than a little black grep magic), that'll give us enough hard details to spin off some sort of a hotfix for you.

Also: yay, EndeavourOS! Arch and everything Arch-like rocks.

At this command (command lutris &>error.out)... this is the output... i've waited 10 minutes:

[omar@EndeavourOS ~]$ command lutris &>error.out
[omar@EndeavourOS ~]$

Also, trying to start it after I restarted the pc, it gave this screen (not given to the first attempts): https://i.imgur.com/rtv2mdD.png

If it helps, I also copied the log file given by Lutris for the FSN:

Thanks a bunch for the voluminous reply, @CavaleriOmar. I suspect we're almost there. ^{Ilya be praised!}

Given the suspicious strings patch.xp3 in the GUI error and "An exception occured at initialize.tjs" in the Lutris output you helpfully shared, this is almost certainly a patch corruption issue. Specifically, your patch.xp3 file (i.e., the core mandatory Ultimate Edition patch required by all other non-core optional Ultimate Edition patches) doesn't appear to have downloaded properly for you. Due to the unreliable third-party website hosting these humongous patches, patch corruption is a sadly common issue that we can't do very much about at the moment.

But we can do something about your specific issue. Would you mind following our FAQ instructions for resolving this and trying again? With any luck, you're almost there. :crossed_fingers:

leycec commented 4 years ago

Boom! I've significantly revised our FAQ to more explicitly address this issue, including the exact screenshot you generously captured and donated above. Ilya thanks you. :teddy_bear:

I performed the bad patch replacement ... so, now Fate pops up, for like 1 second and then fails.

Here is the log (only the last part) given by Lutris:

info: Game: Fate.exe

info: Built-in extension providers:

Excellent! Great work. Now you're really almost there. Are you familiar with Vulkan? Basically, Vulkan is the official replacement for OpenGL, a popular cross-platform GPU-accelerated 3D rendering API. So, Vulkan = OpenGL 2.0. That's good.

The DXVK acronym mentioned in the above log is a related Vulkan-based technology. Basically, DXVK is a Linux-specific translation layer that internally converts Windows-specific DirectX 9, 10, and 11 GPU logic into equivalent Vulkan logic. That's also good.

The "warn: OpenVR: Failed to locate module" line is safely ignorable. That just means you don't have a virtual reality (VR) headset connected, which is fine. VR's awesome and all, but that's not really what we're going for here.

The "info: Required Vulkan extension VK_KHR_surface not supported" line is where your troubles start. Your Vulkan installation is broken. That's bad, because it means that you won't be run any GPU-accelerated Vulkan games. Thankfully, Fate/stay night is so old that it runs on decades-old potato PCs and doesn't really benefit GPU acceleration at all.

You have two options here:

(Recommended) Disable Vulkan for Fate/stay night. This is the easy way:
1. Run Lutris.
2. Right-click the Fate/stay night icon.
3. Click the Configure menu item.
4. Click the Runner options tab.
5. Disable the Enable DXVK/VKD3D setting.
Fix your broken Vulkan/DXVK installation. This is the hard way, but you probably want to do this eventually anyway. Instructions for properly installing and configuring Vulkan and DXVK vary by platform. In your case, you'll want EndeavourOS instructions. Since EndeavourOS is Arch-based, the easiest way to get Vulkan and DXVK up and running would probably be to:
1. Follow the Vulkan installation instructions at the Arch Wiki.
2. Follow the Wine installation instructions at the Arch Wiki. Note: install wine-staging rather than wine. Always use Wine Staging, which is the bleeding-edge version of Wine that provides DXVK. Never use standard Wine, which is the obsolete version of Wine that provides literally nothing.
3. Watch this YouTube video walking you through DXVK configuration under Lutris with Wine Staging.

In any case, either of those should work for you. Thanks for bearing with this insanity. Let me know how everything goes in the end. If you finally get this up and running, please close out this issue. Yay! :wink:

CavaleriOmar commented 4 years ago

Thanks for the detail. I fixed everything (I disabled that setting ... and while I was there I installed the "dxvk-bin" package from aur)

So, it's all OK https://i.imgur.com/0q9HKT6.png

Awesome. So glad that worked out for you. I've also updated our FAQ with a new Vulkan/DXVK section hopefully resolving that issue for anyone else who hits it too. You were invaluably helpful, @CavaleriOmar!

You might also be interested in another visual novel-related project I'm working on behind the scenes: a Lutris installer for the recently released fan-authored native Linux port of Ao no Kanata (Aokana) no Four Rhythm: Across the Blue, beyond the sky, into the firmament, a highly-acclaimed shounen chuuni visual novel that shares a number of genre tags with Fate/stay night if you really squint at them. If so, I'll ping you when it's out.

If not, no worries! Enjoy the fateful ride. Ultimate Blade Works, in particular, is one bullet hell of a route. :crossed_swords:

leycec commented 4 years ago

Aaaaaaand... the initial Aokana repository is now live. Boom! :boom:
