Description

Update 2.5.8 released

Improved Linux/SteamOS/Wine compatibility

This needs retesting. However I no longer have a Linux computer, so I can't test this myself unfortunately.


Compatibility Report

  • Name of the game with compatibility issues: NoLimits 2 Roller Coaster Simulation
  • Steam AppID of the game: 301320

System Information

  • GPU: GTX 780 Ti
  • Driver/LLVM version: Nvidia 418.56
  • Kernel version: 4.18.0-16-generic
  • Link to full system information report as gist
  • Proton version: proton-4.2-1
  • Game version: 2.5.7

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 won't start on Proton 4.2-1 (it didn't work on earlier versions of Proton either!).
However the error message the game gives is different now compared to earlier Proton versions.

Reproduction

  1. Start game from Steam.
  2. Game doesn't reach game-menu or splash screens.
  3. Game immediately gives a Fatal Error message: The application failed with: Required files are missing. Make sure this software was installed correctly. The application will quit now.
  4. Game stops, and returns to Steam launcher.

Now to be clear: I've uninstalled the game trough Steam, and deleted the No Limits 2 folder that remained. And reinstalled the game from scratch. The game still throws the same error.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the compatibility report and the attached steam-301320_proton_4.2.1.log, then retest NoLimits 2 Roller Coaster Simulation (Steam AppID 301320) with the updated game and Proton environment. Done means recording whether the game reaches its menu or still reports missing required files, including the Proton version and relevant system details.
