steam-265610.log

Symptoms

The game does not start.

Reproduction

Start the game.

Update

It's possible to start the game by moving both kernel32.dll and user32.dll like so:

cd $STEAM_APPS/compatdata/265610/pfx/drive_c/windows/system32
mv kernel32.dll kernel32.dll.bck
mv user32.dll user32.dll.bck
cd $STEAM_APPS/compatdata/265610/pfx/drive_c/windows/syswow64
mv kernel32.dll kernel32.dll.bck
mv user32.dll user32.dll.bck

After that the game will work. It's not a proper solution, however, as it does not work out of the box.

Thanks to @Altomb for this update.

Somebody did try to look at this:

After checking my own logs, I get to the same conclusion

@Altomb so I did test and it works by moving kernel32.dll and user32.dll out of the way. Weird but at least there's a solution. It's not a proper solution, however, but I'll update the issue.

Thanks

Having played for a long time my results with the patch result in the game running fairly well expect that the performance is somewhat slow. This is not a demanding game so it should be fine for the most part. I worked around by having low quality settings. Seems like it's not detecting hardware acceleration. This may be fixed in wine 4.13 given this patch: https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35345

I made a script to fix this issue because every time Proton is updated you need to fix the game again. It's in my own personal fixes page.
