Description

Compatibility Report

  • Name of the game with compatibility issues: Muv-Luv (presumably Muv-Luv Alternative as well, haven't tried)
  • Steam AppID of the game: 802880 (and Muv-Luv Alternative is 802890)

System Information

  • GPU: Intel HD Graphics
  • Driver/LLVM version: Mesa 18.0.5
  • Kernel version: 4.15
  • Proton version: 3.16 (had also tried 3.7 beta)

Log: steam-802880.log (basically, it was missing mfc140u.dll before the 3.16-4 beta)

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.

Symptoms

The visual novel now launches as of 3.16-4 beta. There may or may not be any additional compatibility issues but I haven't started reading the visual novel yet.

Before 3.16-4 beta

If you just download the visual novel and launch it, nothing shows up. The visual novel stops showing as running almost immediately after it's run.

However, I got it working. It needs the 32-bit version of mfc140u.dll (from Visual C++ Redist 2015). I installed it (into Proton's wine prefix) but that wasn't enough for it to work, I had to then go to the syswow64 folder and copy the required dll into the visual novel's folder. (I installed it into the default prefix, and Steam creates new prefixes for each app... see the script below!) Once that's done, the visual novel launches as expected (yay!).

Reproduction

Download the game and click Play.

Research direction

Start with steam-802880.log and the reported Proton 3.16 and 3.7 beta behavior. Check whether the 32-bit mfc140u.dll dependency still reproduces for Muv-Luv (802880) and Muv-Luv Alternative (802890), then document any remaining compatibility symptoms and a reproducible launch result.
