Description

Compatibility Report

  • Name of the game with compatibility issues: Risen 2
  • Steam AppID of the game: 40390

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.

Symptoms

Game doesn't start
steam-40390.log

Command line output has no problems shown

Need something else to go on.

It should be noted that Risen 2 might work without DXVK as noted by Wine wiki. DXVK command line args make no difference.

+all debug log may provide additional info needed; maybe could get away with less.

Reproduction

Try to start
