Litrus stuck at ProfileList while running Star Wars Battlefront 2 (2017)

[Skybuck]

Hello,

1. I installed Sparky Linux Game Over edition from ISO inside Virtual Machine in VMWare to an USB Stick.

2. Restarted (real) computer (amd x2 3800+ processor) and (gt 1030 gpu) and booted in USB Stick with NOAPIC option to fix boot problems.

3. Installed sparky installer, update/upgraded system.

4. Installed nvidia drivers.

5. Try to run the game in Lutris enabled debugging/logging.

The log shows the game seems to get stuck at this point:

^^^

It seems it is missing profiles or something ?

Maybe I need to set this up somehow in sparky linux/litrus or linux ?!?

Any advise on this how to fake these windows registry keys and perhaps profiles on disk/file system ?

The profiles are located in %SystemDrive%\Users

Which would be C:\Users

and then probably

C:\Users\<Username>

Which would be:

C\Users\skybuck

And indeed, Star Wars Battlefront folders exist in this folder:

Users/Skybuck/Documents/

Like:

STAR WARS Battlefront II

STAR WARS Battlefront II Multiplayer Beta

STAR WARS Battlefront Beta

I copied all three folders to where wine stores them

Home

and then use control-h to show hidden .wine folder

I also had to create a Documents folder because it was missing.

Only My Documents folder was there

So eventually it looked like:

/home/skybuck/.wine/drive_c/users/skybuck/Documents/

/home/skybuck/.wine/drive_c/users/skybuck/Documents/STAR WARS Battlefront II/

And such.

By creating these folders the game now continues, maybe there are also files there that are needed but I don't think so or are not sure. I would not be surprised if the game only needs these folders to exist.

Anyway the game now seems to continue loading with different results.

If I set Working Directory to game folder as well it will complain bad ex format for a certain DLL: amd_ags_x64.dll

However if I leave working directory empty the result is as follows:

Running /usr/bin/wine /media/skybuck/External Harddisk/Games/Star Wars - Battlefront 2/starwarsbattlefrontii.exe
0025:err:seh:setup_exception stack overflow 1616 bytes in thread 0025 eip 000000007bc48a05 esp 0000000000130fc0 stack 0x130000-0x131000-0x230000
0026:err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x7bd19c00 "loader.c: loader_section" wait timed out in thread 0026, blocked by 0025, retrying (60 sec)

(I also disabled full debugging since it seemed to execute cpu instructions).

To me the above seems like a bug in wine-stable.

Or this bug is caused because the DLL was not loaded properly.

So I am not sure which is which.

Is it necessary to set working directories for wine/lutris ? Or will it default to the exe folder as working directory anyway ?

Assuming wine is at fault, though it might also be dxvk or something else, but ok, assuming wine is at fault and replacing wine with wine staging:

wget -O- -q https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Emulators:/Wine:/Debian/Debian_10/Release.key | sudo apt-key add -   

echo "deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Emulators:/Wine:/Debian/Debian_10 ./" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/wine-obs.list

sudo apt update

Wine/Lutrix now behaves a bit differently when starting the game and it wants to install some .net/mono/html stuff.

I think log will show this somewhat, I am not sure if this is normal, maybe the updating to wine-staging was not ment for sparky linux, but maybe it's ok.

What you all make of this ?

Let's suppose it wasn't wine-staging problem ?

How would I revert back to wine (stable) ?
