having trouble launching horizons 4.0 through min ED launcher (Epic games)

[LXSTWXRDEN]

Hi. After installing horizons 4.0 and your launcher, I'm having trouble launching through it. I did everything according to the instructions for Epic and Windows. The problem is that the game does not start through the minimum louncer. I will attach the log as well. I would be grateful for your help in solving this problem.

Is that a full run of the log file? It seems to be missing the first line which should look like [INF] Elite Dangerous: Minimal Launcher - [version]. It also seems like there should be more lines at the end (unless it just crashes without writing more).

IT IS ALL LOG FOR ED HORIZONS 3.8 (For example). I have the same problem for ED HORIZONS 4.0, but I deleted it today.

It's hard to say. There are no WARN or ERR messages in the log file and it ends at different points in the launch process so I can't really tell why it's crashing.

If you remove the /autoquit flag, does it show any additional info compared to the log file?

[rfvgyhn]

Closing since no response. Feel free to re-open if you can provide more info.

[CmdrHope]

Ok, continuing #66 here.

Does the launcher just quit or does it just stop writing to the log file?

The Epic Games Launcher starts, then a terminal window of the min-ed-launcher shortly opens and closes again, then the Epic Games Launcher stays open and shows the launch button for Elite Dangerous. Clicking the launch button just opens and closes the terminal window again.

Does it always fail in the same spot?

Yes, it does.

Does it have the same issue if you remove the /autorun flag?

Yes, it does.

Which version of wine are you using?

lutris-7.2-2-x86_64

Which lutris installer did you use? I couldn't get any of the provided ones to work and had to cobble together my own. It's possible there's some wine environment difference that I don't have locally.

I used the lutris_0.5.11_all.deb they released on their github page.

What game options do you have setup in lutris?

Pretty much the defaults but I disabled Fsync, FSR and GameMode.

I added some additional logging. Can you try the CI build and post the new log?

Ok, here it is: min-ed-launcher.log First I did a run /autorun and then another without.

[rfvgyhn]

I used the lutris_0.5.11_all.deb they released on their github page

I wasn't clear on that. I meant which installer (yaml/json) for Elite did you use? Lutris has three Epic installers for Elite on their site.

Another user looks to have a similar issue (#67) and I think it's fixed with this build. Can you try that?

Also, which version of windows is wine configured as? I think I ran into issues in the past when it was windows 10, but windows 7 worked.

[CmdrHope]

Ok, right after I have sent my last comment I tried a different wine version (lutris-6.21-6-x86_64) again, which definitely didn't work last week when I opened #66. But now it starts Elite Dangerous just fine. Then I tried the newer build which starts fine, too. Then I switched the wine version back to lutris-7.2-2-x86_64 and starting Elite Dangerous fails again. However setting the wine configuration to windows 7 works on lutris-7.2-2-x86_64 and then it starts the game again!

One little issue remains, after exiting Elite Dangerous the process stays open, so /autoquit doesn't seem to work properly. But that seems like a minor issue.

Finally I can run EDH4 on my Epic Account, too! Yeah! Thank you, great work!

@CmdrHope FYI, the shutdown issue is fixed by 72219398f72a9aab2262012f3e16f7ed0db25051. Will be available in the next release.
