Update 2.5.8 released

Improved Linux/SteamOS/Wine compatibility

This needs retesting. However I no longer have a Linux computer, so I can't test this myself unfortunately.

Compatibility Report

Name of the game with compatibility issues: NoLimits 2 Roller Coaster Simulation
Steam AppID of the game: 301320

System Information

GPU: GTX 780 Ti
Driver/LLVM version: Nvidia 418.56
Kernel version: 4.18.0-16-generic
Link to full system information report as gist
Proton version: proton-4.2-1
Game version: 2.5.7

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.

Symptoms

Game won't start on Proton 4.2-1 (it didn't work on earlier versions of Proton either!).
However the error message the game gives is different now compared to earlier Proton versions.

Reproduction

Start game from Steam.
Game doesn't reach game-menu or splash screens.
Game immediately gives a Fatal Error message: The application failed with: Required files are missing. Make sure this software was installed correctly. The application will quit now.
Game stops, and returns to Steam launcher.

Now to be clear: I've uninstalled the game trough Steam, and deleted the No Limits 2 folder that remained. And reinstalled the game from scratch. The game still throws the same error.

I've also tested on Ubuntu 18.04, with the latest Nvidia driver (396.54) on the same computer. Same problems.

The Ubuntu 18.04 configuration can be found here:

Hello,

the game requires native d3dcompiler_43 DLLs for now. With that, I got the Demo to run, albeit it is a bit unstable - enabling fullscreen mode hangs the game, and the game seems to have some input-related issues, moving the mouse can cause hangs as well.

Hello @HonkingGoose, in general, this issue tracker should follow the common conduct section found in other Valve issue trackers.

Repeated retesting and posting refreshed logs does not add much value unless you find something has changed between releases.

How that code of conduct could be expressed so that it would be clear for the issue tracker and made separate from the code base is a separate topic for a Proton dev and I'm not interested in getting tangled in the needless drama surrounding codes of conduct.

It also should be made clear that I am not a Proton dev, rather, I'm a moderator helping keep the issue trackers usable for those who are working on the projects.

Discussion moved to #1664.

The patch notes for No Limits 2 version 2.6.3.2 say: ^quote

Fixes a few problems including a crash when running on Linux with Wine/Proton.

So you all might want to re-test the game and see if it runs out-of-the-box now.
