steam-1225570.log

Symptoms:

The game fails to start. this has multiple reasons:

• origin fails to start correctly and crashes: #3937 ( current workaround is to remove kernel32.dll in the games wineprefix in either system32 or syswow64 - depends on the game - here system32)

• the game fails to start anyway. it opens a white fullscreen, which turns black after a while. audio is working though (music). you have to kill the process here

what is really strange is that gstreamer seems to escape its wineprefix here somehow.
at least there is a gstreamer-1.0 directory
in ..../steamapps/compatdata/1225570/
containing a 122157 byte registry.x86_64.bin

edit: for the records: gst-plugins-good-1.16.2-3 lib32-gst-plugins-good-1.16.2-1 are already installed.

edit:

• neither removing V directory (with the videos)
• nor clearing Video/video_info.txt
• nor converting the videos quick&dirty with ffmpeg to some avis and overwriting the video files
  didn't workaround this
  (ffmpeg (and mpv) accept the input files though)
  edit2: hope is low as UnravelTwo.exe is x86-64, but just compiling lib32-gst-libav (gst-libav already installed)

installing quartz and disabling winegestreamer fixes the issue! the game works :)
edit: Unravel 1 https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/3961 can't get to work with this workaround

[NTMan]

I only observe the black screen after launch.

[NTMan]

With proton 5.0-10-rc1 I still see only a black screen and hear the background music.

[frostworx]

did you try "installing quartz and disabling winegestreamer" @NTMan ?

[avrilfanomar]

@frostworx I've tried it but it doesn't help. Did you do anything else except installing quartz and disabling gstreamer?

[avrilfanomar]

Funny enough, I've got the game working by removing videos from "steamapps/common/UnravelTwo/D3D11/V". You can just watch them manually :)
Nothing else I've tried helped and I still saw gstreamer errors in log.

[frostworx]

@avrilfanomar no I haven't done anything else, but I haven't touched the game since I opened this issue, so maybe things changed since then.

[frostworx]

@avrilfanomar just tried it again from scratch with a clean WINEPREFIX.
The game still works when quartz is installed, but only if
winegstreamer is disabled directly in winecfg or via regedit
looks like
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="winegestreamer=d"
alone doesn't work.
I'll add a "tweak config" in steamtinkerlaunch :)

winegstreamer-disable.reg.txt

[avrilfanomar]

I've tried disabling it with winecfg, but apparently that didn't work for me. Anyways thanks for help!
Also game is working for me way better with OpenGL (PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 option).

[frostworx]

oh that is strange. which gfx card and drivers do you use, @avrilfanomar?
I'm running Radeon VII with mesa aco here

[frostworx]

so nvidia might be the problem indeed

function added in https://github.com/frostworx/steamtinkerlaunch/releases/tag/v1.0.0
and tweak config in https://github.com/frostworx/steamtinkerlaunch/commit/cb2ac7226c38f970acf33526cd7dde82414c2cf8

[frostworx]

Unravel works with Proton 5.13-1, but Unravel Two still requires above tweak. Without thequartz override it draws a screen as shown here

[hcwinsemius]

Would be really nice if we can nail this entirely. I did the following.

• set Proton 5.0.10 as launcher
• click 'play' which leads me through the origin installer
• can't get further than a black screen so closed game.
• opened terminal and did WINEPREFIX=..... winetricks quartz
• WINEPREFIX=..... winetricks winecfg -- added winegstreamer as new override library and disabled
• WINEPREFIX=...... wine64 regedit -- imported the .reg file suggested by @frostworx .

To no avail. Still a black screen. Removing the videos helps!

Any chance anyone knows what I did wrong? If I get the solution I'll post it on protondb. Thanks!

[frostworx]

Just tested with a clean wineprefix and it doesn't work for me anymore as well.
Here already the horrible annoying Origin launcher fails though.

[hcwinsemius]

@frostworx thanks for testing! Ugh...yeah origin is still a pain I guess....I'll try again in case either proton or origin is updated. Will post here if I learn something new.
