  • Steam AppID of the game: 293760

System Information

  • [x] that I haven't found an existing compatibility report for this game.
  • [x] that I have checked whether there are updates for my system available.

steam-293760.log

Symptoms

Launching the game simply does nothing, adding PROTON_NO_D3D11 / PROTON_NO_D3D10 to the launch options starts the game launcher but that crashes / hangs after a few seconds.

The game it self does run when using the 'No Launcher' option but that makes it so you can't use workshop content. (the launcher enables them)

I looked at protonDB and tried using the windows 7 setting & installing dotnet 4.5.2 but that didn't work.

Reproduction

  1. Install automation on steam
  2. Start the game
  3. Select the first launch option
  4. Press play
  5. Game doesn't start

I did some work earlier on ELYON, which wasn't enough to get it working, but that also used CefSharp so this report motivated me to get the existing work (mostly, ran into a problem with one of the changes) cleaned up and committed, and it turns out it's enough to allow this launcher to start.

So that should work with the build from this link, once the build process completes: https://github.com/madewokherd/wine-mono/actions/runs/1974181683

Hi @madewokherd! It seems like the build has succeeded but the linux-test has failed.
Can I still use the make output?

Sure, it just means I might have broken something, I'll have to check on that later.

Thank you!
