Description

Compatibility Report

  • Name of the game with compatibility issues: Bionic Commando
  • Steam AppID of the game: 21670

System Information

I confirm:

  • that I haven't found an existing compatibility report for this game.
  • that I have checked whether there are updates for my system available.

NB. I've added an output dump but PROTON_LOG=1 was not populating any file in my home folder, as such I ran the application via:
WINEDEBUG="+timestamp,+pid,+tid,+seh,+debugstr,+module" WINEPREFIX=$PWD/pfx ../../common/Proton\ 3.7/dist/bin/wine ../../common/Bionic\ Commando/bionic_commando.exe > $HOME/output.txt 2>&1 (Also not this is after I installed phyx via winetricks (version PhysX-9.14.0702-SystemSoftware.msi as the version provided in the games support folder fails to install)

Symptoms

Game never presents a window the terminates.
I suspected it was because of the required 'physx' dlls not being installed correctly but the application still fails to run.

Reproduction

Run the game via steam (or via pulse on the command line)

Research direction

Check whether the PhysX installation details explain the missing window and termination; done means identifying a confirmed cause or a reproducible compatibility fix.
