The game crashes in random places inside main menu. FPS counter locks at 120 or 119,9. After a while I get the Ubuntu's "Application is unresponsive" popup.

Software information

Space Engineers, medium graphics preset, installed dotnet461, vcrun2015 and xact to get this game to launch. Using 64-bit wineprefix since 32bit is no longer supported. Using the latest version of PlayOnLinux 4 for debug log.

System information

  • GPU: GTX 1070
  • Driver: 415.25
  • Wine version: 4.0-rc3
  • DXVK version: master but also tested on 0.94, same result

Apitrace file(s)

Launched POL terminal, cd to the directory of steam .exe file but upon executing the command apitrace trace --api=gl Steam.exe steam://rungameid/244850 I get this error:

apitrace: loaded into /usr/bin/apitrace
apitrace: unloaded from /usr/bin/apitrace
error: failed to execute: Steam.exe steam://rungameid/244850

You basically tried to record an opengl apitrace of windows steam, which probably uses directx, and would be useless anyways.
Try to do it as described in the wiki.

Does it work with wined3d (i.e. without dxvk)?
If not, does it work on Windows with DXVK?

@doitsujin it does not work without dxvk. It works on Windows with dxvk. But after I disabled steam overlay the game no longer crashes on main menu but instead when actually playing or loading save.
@Oschowa I've tried to use it with --api=dxgi but it gave me "unsupported API" error. I've downloaded those .dll files into Steam directory and it made no difference.

You have to put the apitrace dlls into the directory of the game, right next to the .exe file. That's also where it's gonna put the .trace files after you're done.

Looks like someone got it to work on wine with some work and some in-game issues.

@exolyte looks promising but wine dosen't ship with gallium patches by default (maybe I can contact POL5 devs to include patched wine 4.0-rc4) and I want to use latest version of the game.

According to reddit, this game works now with a whole bunch of wine tweaks.

Nothing extracted yet.
