Cant install epic games through lutris | Arch Linux Community | Page 1

earnest merlin May 3, 2023, 8:57 PM

#

I have the nouveau drivers installed, as well as wine

#

so I dont know what the issue is really

cursive merlin May 3, 2023, 8:59 PM

#

nouveau?? why

#

not sure if that's your issue, but very well might be.

#

it's quite probable actually

earnest merlin May 3, 2023, 8:59 PM

#

cus lutris kept shouting at me saying I didnt have nouveau so I thought that might be the missue

#

I had the nvidia drivers intalled and got the same issue

cursive merlin May 3, 2023, 8:59 PM

#

ok.

earnest merlin May 3, 2023, 9:00 PM

#

I just saw the libGL error: failed to load driver: nouveau and thought that might be the issue

cursive merlin May 3, 2023, 9:00 PM

#

to check; what other issue did you have before? anything related to graphics or Lutris?

earnest merlin May 3, 2023, 9:01 PM

#

erm, steam wouldnt use my gpu but that was because I had the flatpack version of steam

#

ive never used lutris before I just want to play mordhau and dont have it on steam

cursive merlin May 3, 2023, 9:01 PM

#

ah ok i remember. installing steam via pacman solved it i think.

#

earnest merlin May 3, 2023, 9:01 PM

#

yeah that solved it

#

cursive merlin May 3, 2023, 9:03 PM

#

can you copy paste?
select with mouse on terminal, ctrl+shift+c

#

should work

other games work fine right?

earnest merlin May 3, 2023, 9:03 PM

#

all the steam games

#

their all fine

#

@cursive merlin one of the lutris dependencies is nvidia-dkms which conflicts with nvidia drivers so I gotta use nouveau

cursive merlin May 3, 2023, 9:05 PM

#

1- remove nouveau. as you already tried, installing it did not make a difference.
sudo pacman -Rns xf86-video-nouveau
2- why do you have nvidia-dkms? are you using a kernel different from linux?

#

oh :D
that should not be the case.
are you installing Lutris via pacman?

earnest merlin May 3, 2023, 9:06 PM

#

no, the lutris github gives you a dependency list for arch and dkms is on therer

#

yeah I installed it through pacman

cursive merlin May 3, 2023, 9:07 PM

#

earnest merlin no, the lutris github gives you a dependency list for arch and dkms is on therer

no need to check dependencies and install manually.
pacman will pull whatever's needed anyway.

earnest merlin May 3, 2023, 9:07 PM

#

cursive merlin no need to check dependencies and install manually. pacman will pull whatever's ...

so I should remove nouveau and dkms?

#

``` this is the full dependency list

cursive merlin May 3, 2023, 9:08 PM

#

lemme check

#

fyi i never installed nvidia-dkms and i used Lutris fine for 2 years

earnest merlin May 3, 2023, 9:09 PM

#

damn okay

fleet minnow May 3, 2023, 9:09 PM

#

it doesn't hurt to use nvidia-dkms with the stock kernel, it's just unnecessary

cursive merlin May 3, 2023, 9:10 PM

#

sudo pacman -Rns xf86-video-nouveau
sudo pacman -S nvidia
it should replace dkms automatically.
then do sudo mkinitcpio -P to make sure nvidia is fine and restart. (make sure /boot is mounted.)

#

then let's go from there to try and solve Lutris's complaints

looks okay

#

lemme see what lutris says

#

@cursive merlin epic games is still crashing

cursive merlin May 3, 2023, 9:12 PM

#

prime-run glxgears

#

oh. did you check the tickbox in Lutris game settings for using Prime?

earnest merlin May 3, 2023, 9:13 PM

#

oh

#

erm

#

no

cursive merlin May 3, 2023, 9:13 PM

#

then it is trying to use the iGPU and getting confused probably

earnest merlin May 3, 2023, 9:13 PM

#

bruh this again

#

yeah tbh in hardware info it has graphics set as intel not nvidia

cursive merlin May 3, 2023, 9:15 PM

#

ok. in Lutris, right click the game and enter its settings. There should be 2 tickboxes as different options for using Prime (or the dGPU).

earnest merlin May 3, 2023, 9:15 PM

#

thats the issue, I cant install games because epic games launcher wont install

#

when I click on the epic games launcher and it trys ti install it that when i get the unreal engine 4 crash message

cursive merlin May 3, 2023, 9:16 PM

#

you open epic games launcher via Lutris?

#

then do the same in epic games launcher's settings.
I personally have no experience with it so you tell me what you have on the screen etc.

earnest merlin May 3, 2023, 9:18 PM

#

yeah if you go to runners its there

#

ive enabled prime render offloader

cursive merlin May 3, 2023, 9:18 PM

#

ah ok

#

still not working with that?

earnest merlin May 3, 2023, 9:19 PM

#

nope

cursive merlin May 3, 2023, 9:19 PM

#

earnest merlin yeah if you go to runners its there

Epic Games or Proton / Wine in Runners?

earnest merlin May 3, 2023, 9:19 PM

#

stil crashing

earnest merlin May 3, 2023, 9:20 PM

#

cursive merlin Epic Games or Proton / Wine in Runners?

wine

#

if you go to wine epic games is there

cursive merlin May 3, 2023, 9:21 PM

#

can you screenshot the runners list where you entered the settings from?

earnest merlin May 3, 2023, 9:21 PM

#

yeah

#

#

when i hit play on it nothing happens though

#

but when I try to install mordhau it brings up this, so I hit install and thats where the issues start

cursive merlin May 3, 2023, 9:23 PM

#

can you enter the settings for Epic Games Store you see when you select Wine in Runners and do the same Prime thing.

earnest merlin May 3, 2023, 9:23 PM

#

yeah ive done that

cursive merlin May 3, 2023, 9:23 PM

#

then can you remove that? :D

#

and only have the setting in Wine Runner itself?

earnest merlin May 3, 2023, 9:25 PM

#

okay trying that

#

#

nope

cursive merlin May 3, 2023, 9:28 PM

#

btw does Lutris list the nvidia GPU when starting?

earnest merlin May 3, 2023, 9:29 PM

#

erm

#

idk I launch it from the taskbar

cursive merlin May 3, 2023, 9:29 PM

#

when you launch it from the terminal by doing lutris you will see a log

earnest merlin May 3, 2023, 9:29 PM

#

yeah it lists it

cursive merlin May 3, 2023, 9:30 PM

#

it shouldn't work, but try prime-run lutris to launch it

earnest merlin May 3, 2023, 9:30 PM

#

it worked

cursive merlin May 3, 2023, 9:31 PM

#

the game?

earnest merlin May 3, 2023, 9:33 PM

#

didnt no anything

#

just sits there

cursive merlin May 3, 2023, 9:33 PM

#

what do you mean?

earnest merlin May 3, 2023, 9:33 PM

#

like nothing came up

#

I pressed play on mordhau and nothing happened

cursive merlin May 3, 2023, 9:34 PM

#

btw lspci -k | grep -A 3 -i nvidia
let's check if the nvidia driver is being used

#

then launch it with LUTRIS_SKIP_INIT=1 lutris and try the game again.

earnest merlin May 3, 2023, 9:36 PM

#

nope its not doing anything

#

nvidia drivers being used though

#

epic games launcher still crashing though

cursive merlin May 3, 2023, 9:37 PM

#

re-add the Prime option; have it in both Wine and Epic Games settings.

#

since Epic Games Launcher seems to be an Unreal Engine app itself, i think we should have it.

#

the error here is gone? where was this from?

earnest merlin May 3, 2023, 9:40 PM

#

when you click install on mordhau it tells you to install epic games launcher

#

so you hit install

#

il give you what it says now

#

ok so the error changed a bit.

#

I think you're on Wayland?
Would you like to try this in X11?

earnest merlin May 3, 2023, 9:44 PM

#

I cant remember I think I am on wayland yeah

#

can give it a go yeah

cursive merlin May 3, 2023, 9:47 PM

are you trying X11 right now?

earnest merlin May 3, 2023, 9:47 PM

ngl I dont know how

cursive merlin May 3, 2023, 9:48 PM

#

ok nvm

#

let's try something weird.

#

in terminal:

export __VK_LAYER_NV_optimus=NVIDIA_only
export __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia

#

then relaunch lutris and try

sage nebula May 3, 2023, 9:49 PM

isn't that the content of prime-run

cursive merlin May 3, 2023, 9:49 PM

#

yep. we are setting the envvars for the entire session

earnest merlin May 3, 2023, 9:49 PM

I checked the terminal and it updated to show this after the previous error ```(wine:13389): GStreamer-WARNING **: 22:42:53.805: Failed to load plugin '/home/will/.local/share/lutris/runners/wine/lutris-GE-Proton8-1-x86_64/lib64/gstreamer-1.0/libgstflac.so': libFLAC.so.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

because it seems Lutris is failing when doing Prime at some point, between Lutris - Wine - Epic Games Launcher - Mordhau Installer

sage nebula May 3, 2023, 9:50 PM

#

cursive merlin I think you're on Wayland? Would you like to try this in X11?

sounds like a good idea

#

i have nvidia as a discrete gpu, prime-runing programs work much better in x11

cursive merlin May 3, 2023, 9:52 PM

#

it worked for two games for me, but some people had un-runnable games.
in Wayland.

sage nebula May 3, 2023, 9:52 PM

#

i only tried minecraft

#

and i did it natively

earnest merlin May 3, 2023, 9:53 PM

#

okay ive done what you asked and no errors so far, trying to install mordhau now

cursive merlin May 3, 2023, 9:53 PM

#

cursive merlin in terminal: ```export __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 export __VK_LAYER_NV_optimus=...

you mean doing this now?

don't worry, it's temporary for this session. we did not change anything permanently.

cursive merlin May 3, 2023, 9:56 PM

earnest merlin but when I try to install mordhau it brings up this, so I hit install and thats ...

how do you get to this "Install Mordhau" ?
can you launch Epic Games Launcher itself from Lutris, without problems?

earnest merlin May 3, 2023, 9:57 PM

#

cursive merlin how do you get to this "Install Mordhau" ? can you launch Epic Games Launcher it...

they do the same thing, when I click install mordhau it trys to launch epic games launcher

this would be the same i guess

earnest merlin May 3, 2023, 9:58 PM

#

this is what its saying to me when i try to run epic games launcher

#

still not working

cursive merlin May 3, 2023, 9:58 PM

#

ok, so the issue is when launching EpicGames, not when installing Mordhau.

sage nebula May 3, 2023, 9:58 PM

#

cursive merlin this would be the same i guess

yeah it'd be just more convenient in case this work

earnest merlin May 3, 2023, 9:59 PM

#

cursive merlin ok, so the issue is when launching EpicGames, not when installing Mordhau.

I dont really know tbh

#

I think mordhau isnt acctually installing because epic games launcher wont launch, so lutris jsut assumes that the install is finished

#

but the issue is with epic games launcher itself yes

cursive merlin May 3, 2023, 10:00 PM

#

did you try prime-run glxgears?

#

to make sure Nvidia is working fine outside of Lutris.

earnest merlin May 3, 2023, 10:00 PM

#

yeah it works

#

the gears do be spinning

cursive merlin May 3, 2023, 10:01 PM

#

can you try another wine / proton version in Lutris?

earnest merlin May 3, 2023, 10:02 PM

#

yeah didnt work, says it wants me to use the version I have

#

I just checked to see if steam games will run and they will

#

so it is epic games thats the issue

#

@cursive merlin im gonna try use the heroic games launcher cus this shits annoying me

cursive merlin May 3, 2023, 10:07 PM

#

I was about to suggest that, as I found out about Heroic right now

#

because using Lutris to open Epic through Wine, to install game through it sounds really convoluted.

#

really sucks that Epic Games does not support Linux though.

#

btw restart beforehand, since everything is using the Nvidia GPU right now, due to the 3 exports we did

#

@earnest merlin

#

I personally torrent games and use Lutris to launch them. harold1
Never had issues with games.

cursive merlin I personally torrent games and use Lutris to launch them. <:harold1:840041356718...

sailing the seven seas?

#

but yeah I forgot abt everything using the gpu il restart

cursive merlin May 3, 2023, 10:11 PM

#

even if I own the game, i torrent, because it is the cleanest way in Linux (and sometimes on Windows)

earnest merlin May 3, 2023, 10:11 PM

#

I tried game torrenting but shit was so confusing I didnt really know what to do

cursive merlin May 3, 2023, 10:11 PM

#

gotta use a good source though.

sage nebula May 3, 2023, 10:11 PM

#

cursive merlin btw restart beforehand, since everything is using the Nvidia GPU right now, due ...

no need to restart

#

just close and reopen the terminal and the exports will be forgotten

cursive merlin May 3, 2023, 10:12 PM

#

sage nebula just close and reopen the terminal and the exports will be forgotten

that won't work, but we could reassign the envvars.
we did export, which put them in the login shell.

#

restarting is no big deal anyway :)

sage nebula May 3, 2023, 10:13 PM

#

cursive merlin that won't work, but we could reassign the envvars. we did export, which put the...

no ?

cursive merlin May 3, 2023, 10:14 PM

export ENVVAR=foo sets it for the entire user session, not just the current terminal shell session.

You are right.
I think so too, as a Lutris user, but I never made the jump.
You can even do everything manually, with just some template commands you note somewhere.

earnest merlin May 4, 2023, 6:27 AM

#

cursive merlin yeah, hope i can help

Nvm I fixed it. I installed heroic games launcher with snap not from the AUR and it was broken

#

I never used it before, was just the first way that came up for playing games from the epic games store

#

Right so it was the first install method I found lol

#

It works now dw. The snap version just couldn't find a version of wine installed

#

All this effort was just to play mordhau
