Hey, thanks for your interest on this project,

Are you on steam deck or not ?

If not can you tell me how you installed steam ?

[kepalakubik]

Nope.
Uhm.... sudo pacman -S steam?

[ALEZ-DEV]

can you restart the launcher via the terminal, redo the bug and show me the output of the launcher ?

[ALEZ-DEV]

could you rebuild the launcher with the latest commit and tell me which result you get ?

[kepalakubik]

@ALEZ-DEV

[ALEZ-DEV]

Fixed, please retry

[kepalakubik]

Still stuck at Starting download for DXVK

[ALEZ-DEV]

Can you please provide me the output of the application by launching it from the terminal ?

[kepalakubik]

There's none. Just empty terminal, CLI and GUI.

[ALEZ-DEV]

can you clone the latest commit and run the following command ?

cargo run --release -- --gui --debug

then copy and past the output here

(I added the possibility to see the debug messages even if you're in release mode)

[kepalakubik]

Wait a minute.... Just tried the official launcher and..... it works like a charm.
Does that mean PGR is now playable on Linux?

[ALEZ-DEV]

Yes it is, the game is now playable with the vanilla Wine, but you need to use the version 10.5 or more

I had no luck trying to run with your project (never allowed me to login), and for some reason with vanilla wine and the official launcher it just restarts the launcher over and over.
Do you know if there's something special that needs to be done to get it to work?

[ALEZ-DEV]

If your want to run the game via the official launcher, you will need :

• Install Wine 10.5+
• Create a separated prefix dedicated to the game with WINEPREFIX
• Install DXVK and Arial font to the dedicated prefix (Not sure of this one because apparently it's not needed anymore, but you can install vcrun2022)

Normally with this setup you will be able to run the game just fine.

The goals of the launcher is to simplify this process for people who don't want to take time to setup or people that don't know what they're doing.
The launcher is not yet up to date with the Wine patch but I'm planning to let the user choose which runner they want to use to run the game (wine, proton, proton-ge, ...)

but @kepalakubik , could you past the output you got so I can see what going wrong with your setup ?
I want to fix this issue so people don't get it anymore, but I think the issue is just that the launcher don't find your steam installation for some reason.

[NOIXLE]

Damn, nah, not even following the steps as you described them it worked
I was far closer to get it working with your launcher, but it somehow got stuck with "loading failed please check your internet connection" when logging in, sorry I'm intruding on this issue, if you want me to open a new one I can do so.
