Proton MS visual C++ runtime missing

[FozzyB]

Since the latest update when launching the game through proton it now pops up a box saying it is missing a component to run (Microsoft Visual C++ runtime), i have reinstalled the game and the steam set up scripts looked like it was installing direct x and C++ but the game wont launch

[Ulroxiel, Mystic of Baa]

Yes. I have the same issue. I managed to solve it by using protontricks and installing the necessary runtime, however, then it showed another error claiming that I wasn't able to run directx12 - so I disabled that with the run options, and now the game works, however - the game does not recognise my controller, so lots of things are broken with proton due to the recent update, atleast for me.

I went and installed the previous version, but still had difficulty accessing my controller. Switched to proton experimental, and suddenly my controller was recognised by redout. I suspect that you would have to install protontricks, install the dependencies on proton experimental, and it should work, after you force dx11 on launch settings.

I'm running into the same issue on the deck, can you elaborate on how to install the dependencies ?
Also due to this the games shouldn't be rated Deck Veriefied atm

You have to install protontricks. I'm not sure how you do that on steam OS, but in linux mint it is a flatpak. It should be possible to enable flatpaks on steam os.

Here's the package I used on flathub, it should be possible to get it on there.
https://www.flathub.org/apps/details/com.github.Matoking.protontricks

Once it is installed, run it, and select redout as the steamapp, then click ok. I ran into a couple of bugs here, but I just clicked ok a bunch of times and it loaded.

Once the main menu is open, select :"select the default wineprefix" and click ok.
then select :" install a windows dll or component"

You should then be presented with a ton of various packages to install to whatever version of proton you are using with redout. Scroll down and choose "Vcrun2019" which is a lot of visual c++ libraries.

Run it, and eventually after all the error messages, you should be presented with a windows installer for the libraries, install these, and you're almost there.

Now all you need to do is tell redout that you want it to launch in directx 11 instead of 12, because I suspect the new version of unreal uses dx12. Linux doesn't support that yet as far as I'm aware.

That requires going into the launch options on steam, and writing -dx11 there. And the game should run...

Here's a list of various launch options and how to set them.

Good luck! Hope it helps!

Yup, same issue here as well.

I did that and the game runs now, but controls don't work. Any further suggestions?

In the discussion thread of the update, the devs mention a private beta that's basically a downgrade to the previous version as a workaround for VR not working on 1.70. I've tried it, and this also works on Deck. I'm not sure if it's okay to share passwords to private betas on here, so I won't, but you should be able to find it if you browse through that comment thread.

It's pretty simple to do, but moving to this "beta" channel will cause the game to redownload essentially. So be aware of that if you're on a metered connection, it's somewhere between 4 and 5 GB.

You can always go back to the previous version using the vredition branch, available on Steam using password: redoutvredition

Let me know if that sounds better, while we keep improving the updated version in the coming weeks ;)

Definitely would strongly advise anyone who has been having problems with the current update, whether it be with the look or stability of it, to go through with this. Though, just in case, backup your career mode save data before you do. You never know if something could go wrong.

That said, it's a good carry-over till things get fixed.

An update has just downloaded that has fixed the issue for me i have just done a quick T4 boss race and the FPS is great and my DS4 controller is working perfectly,

thank you devs for the quick fix, i am looking forward to Redout 2

Did it fix the graphics too? I used the beta branch to access the 1.6.4 build of the game where things aren't so bright that they make some of my racecraft unbearable to look at. Also, to have shadows in the levels display correctly and not fade out (or fade in) directly under my racecraft.

[FozzyB]

i did notice some small very bright white lights which could have been errors, overall it is brighter than it used to be the only thing i turned off is motion blur but everything else is on epic, im running a vega64 with mesa drivers and the latest proton experimental version on fedora36

[FozzyB]

i played a little more and took a screen shot of the start line, it doesn't look like the ships are casting shadows are they supposed to?
