Trying to get the FitGirl repack to run in Lutris or Heroic. I'm running PopOS! with Nvidia 470 drivers. (Using xorg, not wayland.)

I installed the game on my Win10 partition and it runs fine, so instead of re-extracting everything I just copied over the installed game directory over to linux.

I tried running the game in lutris, but the framerate is less than 1fps, constantly. The main menu is navigable with extreme patience. I've tried running in Heroic as well. Same problems. In Heroic I'm using Wine-Wine-GE-Proton8-26, which looks like the most recent version of Wine-GE (even though there is a separate entry for "Wine-GE-Latest" with the same release date.)

Looking on Lutris' website, there isn't exactly any documentation on what dependencies I may be missing: https://lutris.net/games/metaphor-refantazio/

Checking FitGirl's repack site, the comments go on forever and no one is talking about issues running on linux. I've seen youtube videos showcasing it being playable on linux so I know it's possible.

Following this video, I installed some generic dependencies using winetricks in the game's heroic settings. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbbXoqDfkY0

Though, some components are failing to install. I installed:

d3dcompiler_43
d3dcompiler_47
d3dx9
d3dx10
d3dx11_42
d3dx11_43
vcrun2005

I'm having various issues installing:

dotnet20
dotnet48
faudio
vcrun2008
vcrun2010
vcrun2012
vcrun2013
vcrun2015
quartz

Though, I don't even know if I need any of those things. I'm just trying common solutions and hoping one works. The game is launching it's just playing really slowly, so a dependency might not be the problem.

Does anyone have any idea why the game is playing so slowly?

EDIT: Issue solved by upgrade Nvidia graphics drivers from 470 to 560!

Why don't you try the GOG version?

[-] riquisimo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago

Metaphor ReFantazio isn't on GoG.

Baldur's Gate 3, which I mentioned in my other post, is. I am running the GoG version of that game. I'll do GoG any chance I get.

After the fix, how is the performance compared to windows machine

[-] riquisimo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 day ago

I haven't compared, I was just happy to get to the main menu with a respectable FPS. What's the standard way to view your performance these days? MangoHUD? Does that work on windows?

What do you mean they're failing to install? That sounds like a wine issue.

Sometimes games just work better on previous wine versions so it might be worth trying a couple of those.

I haven't played the game but it seems to be DX11 so ~~DXVK probably needs to be installed to the prefix~~

Towards the end of the FG installer, there is usually an option to download the dependencies so make sure you have those installed with winetricks to the correct prefix. C++ Redist download option here refers to vcrun in winetricks and its probably vcrun2022 since the game is new.

Is it defaulting to using your integrated graphics instead of the discreet gpu?

You could also add it as a non steam game in steam since proton will be set up properly to see if it runs better.

Edit:

470

Do you need to update your drivers? 470 came out in April 2021. DXVK only supports 510 and later so d3dcompiler instead of dxvk should be used but a driver update would be better.

Upgrading my graphics drivers from 470 to 560 did the trick! 560 is the latest officially supported by System76/PopOS (and is the latest option in my pop shop.)

And that fixed my issue with Baldur's Gate 3 getting stuck on the loading screen at 100%! Two problems solved for the price of one!

I had an issue before where on 560 my computer wouldn't wake from sleep mode and would just crash. I never upgraded because if that, as I sleep my computer daily. I'll have to see if that issue persists now or was patched out.

Thank you so much!

EDIT: For anyone who may know anything about the crashing-from-suspend issue, I'm asking for help here.
