Fails to launch on Arch Linux

[Sharparam]

Not sure if I'm maybe missing something in how it's supposed to be started, in that case please tell me!

Downloading the pre-built version with bundled everything from releases (https://github.com/marzent/IINACT/releases/download/v0.1.0/IINACT.zip), and starting it with the following command:

WINEPREFIX=~/.xlcore/wineprefix WINEESYNC=1 WINEFSYNC=1 ~/.xlcore/compatibilitytool/beta/lutris-GE-Proton7-23-x86_64/bin/wine64 ~/.xlcore/wineprefix/drive_c/IINACT/IINACT.exe

It outputs the following:

Failure processing application bundle.
Failed to create directory [C:\/home/sharparam/.cache/dotnet_bundle_extract\] for extracting bundled files.
067c:fixme:advapi:RegisterEventSourceW ((null),L".NET Runtime"): stub

It seems to be trying to mix Linux and Windows paths?

Full output when running with WINEDEBUG=warn+all

Details

Running it in the wine prefix created by XIVLauncher.Core, using wine-ge-custom 7.23 as the runner.

This is because wine is inheriting environment variables from your linux dotnet6 install (in this case DOTNET_BUNDLE_EXTRACT_BASE_DIR).

You can either unset it before launching wine, or alternatively write a .bat that sets it to a sane windows style directory and then launches the exe.

That is not really something that can be alleviated by IINACT but is just how the self contained runtime behaves.

That indeed makes it launch, thanks for the info!

How did you actually make this ? I have the same problem and have no idea how to unset the environment variables, thanks for any help !

@Sancoraa export DOTNET_BUNDLE_EXTRACT_BASE_DIR=

@Sancoraa For reference, this is the script I use to launch IINACT: https://gist.github.com/Sharparam/788128a645f875cc236c3d3a4a942f33

I switched to using an explicit path for the extract dir instead of just blank.

(I'm not currently using the xiv/act options in it, everything also uses hardcoded paths so could definitely be improved)

Thank you for this script! With it, I was able to get IINACT running. But now I've got the issue that, when IINACT is running, XIVLauncher seems to be unable to launch the game. I don't know where to find related logs, all I know is that

• when I launch the game with Dalamud ->the launcher closes, the game doesnt open, and the XIVLauncher process seems to stay alive infinitely
• when I launch the game without Dalamud -> the launcher spawns a wine64 child process, shortly after both processes die, and nothing more happens

When IINACT isnt running, the game opens normally both with and without Dalamud.

Any ideas why this would be and how I can fix it? Or at least where to find helpful log files?

@RainerZufahl Try launching the game before IINACT, that's what I do. Maybe there's some missing env var or something that messes up the wine stuff for the game if IINACT launches first.
