[Linux] How To Install Return of Reckoning

[leubac]

Worked very well. Thank you again.

Hi, I just tried to install on a Linuxmint 21.3 system, everything looked like it installed, using the lutris game installer script, but on completion, it actually will not run at all.
log shows;

Looks like some path problem with mint. try adding
DOTNET_BUNDLE_EXTRACT_BASE_DIR and value as some path you have access to
into the runner options env variables in lutris.
my bet is that wine doesnt have permissions to the hidden .cache folder located in your home folder for some reason

maybe you are using flatpak version? don't do that if possible

[wazgilbert]

Thanks! I tried the env variables and found no benefit, and then realised I had previously installed the flatpack version, and had already installed the system package, before realising that that action does not uninstall the flatpack.
So I removed that, found the system package program - ran that and reinstalled. (looked like installed for the first time actually, as none of what I had installed in the flatpack was visible, even though the same folder was default)
Now I seem to have an installed game, with icon in lutris.
doesn't work though, I get nothing in logs now, even though the play button has become 'Launching' permanently. Stop has no effect. I have to kill Lutris to get a play button.
I have no doubt mixing the lutris versions has messed it up (and binned my other game installs that were fine, which is why I didn't think twice to just bang the install in.)
Edited to add - I now don't have any working anything in Lutris. No installs of any kind will run, so I'm going to try and get a working Lutris before trying again, or at all.

Edited again to say - I have managed to remove all packages of Lutris, and downloaded the latest deb file from the github version:0.5.17, now the other games are possible again, so installed again RoR logs now report;

if I apply your suggestion DOTNET_BUNDLE_EXTRACT_BASE_DIR to another folder, the error just reflects the new folder, e.g.

Failed to create directory [C:\Program Files (x86)\Return of Reckoning\/home/plex\] for extracting bundled files.

[xpander]

if you go to runner options and scroll down to output debugging info and enable that, it will show a lot more info on the "show logs" section.

edit:
you still seems to have

Code: Select all

Failed to create directory [C:\Program Files (x86)\Return of Reckoning\/home/waz/.cache/dotnet_bundle_extract\]

so that indicates you dont have permissions to your /home/yourname/.cache folder or something..or lutris or wine doesn't have access to it
have you messed with permissions on your home folder maybe? make sure your ~/.cache folder is accesible for your user

[wazgilbert]

I enabled the output debugging info and got the extra information below.

from a permissions standpoint, my user home folder has the games folder inside that all the other lutris installed games are running inside, so at least other lutris runners are going ok there. e.g. battlenet, wow for instance.

Yeah but whats the permissions to ~/.cache folder, can you try and manually create files and folders to that location for example? its very strange. all i could find is someone else with linux mint having that issue but the env variable fixed it for him:
https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxquestions ... _base_dir/

edit: though you changed the bundle extract directory to a different one which you probably had permissions to.
Honestly im out of ideas why it doesn't work for you. Maybe try installing the game with Bottles or Heroic Games instead of Lutris? Might be that Lutris packages on Linux mint is somewhat broken.

[wazgilbert]

it's pretty confusing, considering I've done pretty much nothing else with this system except gaming. it's the first real head-scratcher I've had.

I will probably set-up WAR / RoR on my cMP with wine on there, before I resort to dual-booting either of these machines to win10.
*just read the install instructions, I don't use crossover, so I will try and find some way to test.

[xpander]

Just tested a fresh install also. I dont even get that dotnet bundle message at all and i don't see anything in .cache folder either with that. it just works...

so my bet is that something is strange with linux mint then.. maybe wine mono hasn't been installed correctly or something.

I mean, now that I have binned the software manager versions of Lutris, and gone straight to the lutris github, installed the package recommended for Ubuntu/Elemtary/Mint. Then I'm assuming now that either the earlier configuration has messed with enough things in the system that I'd need to clean install Mint, because either wine or the way dotnet is setup is borked.
If I free up a spare drive to play with different distros I might learn something.
btw, Heroic doesn't work, it tries to download the data packages and fails partway.
I also just tried running wine RoRInstaller.exe, got the whole installer progress to completion just like lutris - launch game and
