Launching a WIndows Unity Game through Proton

[FookinRaw]

Trying to run the game "Emily is Away <3" through Proton as their is no native build for this Unity game. Forcing Proton v3.16-9 gets a loading screen to appear for a few seconds before closing. Are there any Launch Options I can try to get his game working?

Try the latest version of Proton.

Unity Games need WMF and way more Bloat - use Proton-GE and it should just work...

You can get it via

wget https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom/releases/download/6.5-GE-1/Proton-6.5-GE-1.tar.gz
tar -xf Proton-6.5-GE-1.tar.gz -C ~/.steam/compatibilitytools.d/

and set Steam-Play Version to Proton-GE for it

hope this helps

The report here lacks details, but looks like it works with Proton 6.3: https://www.protondb.com/app/978460

What is your setup like? I'm trying to run this on a laptop with integrated graphics as it's not that demanding of a game.

Your problem looks like this

/bin/sh: 0: Illegal option -g

Good catch, but I just realized I was attempting to force open-gl when I captured that output and I believe that's what gave the

/bin/sh: 0: Illegal option -g 

error. I'm not seeing that particular error anymore.

I just edited my post with the output sans command parameters.

[class101 [OLED deck]]

I yeahI have seen your edit but the log is not complete, i don't see anything wrong in it.

gist.github.com is good to post larger logs

[FookinRaw]

This jumped out at me, but I'm not sure if it's the root cause.

wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 00000000 at address 106C2647 (thread 0110), starting debugger...

Here is the full output

This is your main error causin the crash for sure, it sounds like you are running a win64 process in a wine 32-bit prefix something like but unsure

wine client error:80: wine client error:80: write: Bad file descriptor
wine client error:80: write: Bad file descriptor

You also have another uncommon error I think you need to fix

Fontconfig error: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/10-scale-bitmap-fonts.conf", line 76: non-double matrix element

I have seen someone recently with the same weird error

https://steamcommunity.com/app/221410/discussions/0/3164316851917016584/#c3164316851925136949

Something to test that seems to have worked in someone else's is to rename /etc/fonts to /etc/fonts.bak and reinstall the fontconfig package from Synaptic to let it recreate /etc/fonts

/etc/fonts is not part of any package, they are symbolic links created by fontconfig

Also what you posted does not looks like a common Proton log, a common proton log generated by launch parameters PROTON_LOG=1 %command% usually starts with the following headers

Think I found my issue...

From the Debian Wiki:

Be aware that older generations (Particularly Intel Ivy Bridge and older) have incomplete support for Vulkan, and likely will not work with most Proton/Steam Play games.

This laptop is Sandybridge.

Indeed good catch, unfortunately I think only opengl support on them

Yep, that was it! I just launched the game on a more modern machine and it worked like a charm ;]

I think you can still run it on your other computer but with a specific env variable to downgrade the proton wine engine.

Try one of these launch option

PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%
PROTON_USE_WINED3D11=1 %command%

[FookinRaw]

>PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%

Whoa. That worked out perfectly. Thanks!!!
