Description

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.

bootstrap_log.txt

Symptoms

Game fails to install .NET 4.5 and XNA 4.0 in order to run and it will show as 'Running' on the library, then close after a few seconds. Further testing adding those packages and other dependencies following this game's WineHQ entry (https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=24670) show that the game doesn't run if you configure its prefix as 32 bits in order for WMP9 or WMP10 (Which can't install on 64 bit prefixes) to be installed. If you install the other dependencies on a 64 bit prefix, the game opens, but can't proceed further because its video intro can't be played and just displays a window with an error message inside it.

Reproduction

1 - Install the game
2 - Launch it

Research direction

Start by reproducing the installation and launch steps in Proton 3.16.3-beta, then compare the 32-bit and 64-bit prefix behavior described in the report. Review the linked WineHQ entry and the attached bootstrap_log.txt; the issue is resolved when the game installs its dependencies, launches, and plays past the video intro.
