Compatibility Report

  • Name of the game with compatibility issues: KinitoPET
  • Steam AppID of the game: 2075070

System Information

I confirm:

  • [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-2075070.tar.gz

Symptoms

The game does not start. Sometimes a black window appears for a split second before crashing, and sometimes nothing appears at all.

Curiously, the game seems to start up and work fine when running the executable directly under the standard system Wine installation (wine-8.21).

Reproduction

Try to run the game as normal. The issue persists under Proton 8.0-4, Proton Experimental, and GE-Proton8-27, as well as under both X11 and Wayland.
As mentioned earlier, the game runs as expected when using system Wine to run the executable directly from the install directory.

Hello @IWarnedYouAboutStairs, these look like some lines of interest from your Proton log:

Wallpapaer.tscn - WALLPAPER COULD NOT BE LOADED: ERROR

I was going to file a bug report to the developer originally, but the game seems to start and play without issue through Wine, suggesting it's a Proton issue rather than an issue with the game itself. I recorded a video to demonstrate: https://streamable.com/qhbk5z

The game should now launch on proton experimental bleeding edge

SSAndrass12 2024-06-28 github

I found the site kinitopet, is this an original game or not?

Rrobstarmcdonald 2024-07-04 github

Yep, I'd tested it on Proton Experimental on bleeding-edge mode, it runs
fine.

It doesnt launch on Experimental either...

Rrobstarmcdonald 2025-01-25 github

It doesnt launch on Experimental either...

Correct @silverhadch, because it used to, but now, it doesn't work on Proton Experimental anymore. You're not alone.

Also, did you tried bleeding-edge for that version?

Ssilverhadch 2025-01-25 github

@robstarmcdonald
Yes i run the Arch Version. It might be a regression in Proton.

Kkisak-valve maintainer 2025-01-25 github

Hello @silverhadch, @robstarmcdonald, can one of you please add PROTON_LOG=1 %command% to the game's launch options and attach the generated $HOME/steam-$APPID.log to this issue report as a file. (Proton logs compress well if needed.) Also, please copy the contents of Steam Runtime Diagnostics from Steam (Steam -> Help -> Steam Runtime Diagnostics) and put it in a gist, then include a link to the gist in this issue report.

Cant currently run the application. @robstarmcdonald it would be nice if you provide a log.

Rrobstarmcdonald 2025-01-27 github

Hello @kisak-valve and @silverhadch,

Thanks for both of your requests, here's what I got for you two.
steam-2075070.log

Yes, with PROTON_LOG=1 %command% on Advanced Launch Options. Steam Snap should have similar compatibility like a Deb version when it comes to Proton.

Also @silverhadch, if the game crashes on a load while you added PROTON_LOG=1 %command%, it should create a log file steam-"appid".log on a home page or /home/"username"/snap/steam/common when it comes to Steam Snap.

Okay maybe its a bit late but i think i got a lead. When installing Windows in an VM i dont have an GPU so OpenGL Drivers etc. wont work and launching the game fails with an error message. I used an precompiled Mesa with newer OpenGL from https://github.com/pal1000/mesa-dist-win/releases. The Application launches but... it dies the exact same way in Proton every Frame the same as if i am trying to run the Game on Linux via Proton. Blackscreening close balckscreening close tiny black box in corner then crash. So it might be a problem with the newer OpenGL Version? But just a hunch.
