Kkaidelorenzo 2023-10-17 github

As of 1697215757 experimental-8.0-20231011b the game shows an error modal instead of immediately crashing off of a black screen.

The modal:

GAME

Could not initialize DirectSound. Please be sure a sound card is installed and all drivers are up to date.

I'm able to get it started in a similar manner to danger by design. They supposedly use the same engine... I was only able to get it running on proton 7 however.

Additionally, I'm having trouble where the game is rendered in the top left, and i have to move the window top the top left to be able able to actually see it. Its super odd stuff!

I will let you know if this method actually fully works - I've had initial luck with running this game before, but then it kept on crashing on the same spot, in an error that seems to be internal to the game!

Ok on the Steam Deck it's running with tweaks similar to Danger by Design.

See my ProtonDB post

I was able to run this game in Lutris without the commands kaidelorenzo listed in their ProtonDB post after I enabled dgvoodoo2 version 2.8. Two things to note, one, the mouse icon flickers when moved, and two, my copy of the game was bought from Her Interactive's site and not from Steam.

Proton versions tested:
Proton-GE 9.5
Proton 9.0 (Beta)
wine-ge-8-26

Those commands are just to make sure dgvoodoo2 actually gets used.

I'm curious how you would describe the mouse icon flicker. For me on the Steam version the only obvious flickering is when on the Steam Deck with the frame rate limiter enabled. Then it's flickery and laggy.

Here is a short video that shows what is happening with the mouse pointer:

That's what it looks like on my Steam Deck with the frame limiter on. Is your cursor also laggy or does it just blink?

It's a mixture of both, mostly flickering, but is a bit laggy.

What's your setup?
I have Intel integrated skylake with fedora gnome and I have very slight flickering. But not laggy and not a much flickering as your video.

I'm using Intel integrated Comet Lake on Fedora 40 with KDE 6.0.4 on kernel 6.8.10
