Description

Compatibility Report

  • Name of the game with compatibility issues: Pickup Basketball VR
  • Steam AppID of the game: 1475200

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

This game suffered a regression. Previously, it would work out of the box with Proton. By running it and reading steam-1475200.log, we saw that it needed api-ms-win-core-console-l1-2-0.dll.
@EsdrasTarsis obtained the stubfile offering the functions for this DLL from a wine commit from Piotr Caban and recompiled in a build that I tested, but then another error appeared for library api-ms-win-core-kernel32-legacy-l1-1-5.dll. He also made a second build and the missing library this time would be api-ms-win-core-console-l3-2-0.dll. This one, however, is undocumented, so he had to go through some hoops and jumps to get the functions it provided, but he also made a third stub and a third build, which then worked.

This bug report thus will provide the solution to this problem. @EsdrasTarsis will upload his patch.

Reproduction

Try and start the game with regular Proton 6.3-5 or Proton Experimental. It won't start.

No steam log on this case because the issue already has a solution.

Research direction

Start with the compatibility report and the linked Wine commit for the missing API stubs. Reproduce Pickup Basketball VR (Steam AppID 1475200) with Proton 6.3-5 or Experimental and inspect the reported missing DLLs. Done means the game starts without requiring the custom build described in the issue.
