wine-proton cannot spawn windows but wine-vanilla can

[Slashhhh]

I'm trying to get steam games working and I have trouble with wine proton.

Infos about my system:

• - mesa: amdgpu
  - session: hyprland
  - window server: wayland with xwayland for x11 support

I noticed, that only native games would start. So I installed wine to make sure I can get that working (i.e. if the wine infrastructure doesn't run, proton stands no chance).

I've installed both wine-vanilla and wine-proton. I tested both by opening a regedit window and observed the following:

• - wine-vanilla launches no problem with both the wayland backend and the x11 backend
  - wine-proton cannot find a driver on either backend:

What am I missing here?

Code: Select all

012c:err:winediag:nodrv_CreateWindow Application tried to create a window, but no driver could be loaded.
012c:err:winediag:nodrv_CreateWindow L"Make sure that your X server is running and that $DISPLAY is set correctly."

My `$DISPLAY` variable reads `:0`

Could indicate opengl and/or vulkan problems (perhaps 32bit-only issues which may have went overlooked if native games were 64bit), wine-proton has some extra hooks which may not trigger with wine-vanilla even when running applications that don't use opengl/vulkan like regedit (not that I looked too closely at what Valve is doing exactly)

To rule it out, suggest emerging vulkan-tools with USE="X cube abi_x86_32" and mesa-progs with "X abi_x86_32" too.

Then you can check if all of these work through xwayland:
glxgears
i686-pc-linux-gnu-glxgears
vkcube
i686-pc-linux-gnu-vkcube

Don't really have ideas beside this, hyprland's code is a bit whacky though so it could be hitting some edge case.

Thanks for the idea.

I emerged vulkan-tools with USE="X cube abi_x86_32" and mesa-progs with "X abi_x86_32".

glxgears
i686-pc-linux-gnu-glxgears
vkcube
i686-pc-linux-gnu-vkcube

all of them ran no issues.
Sadly, wine-proton is still acting up

I've found this: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/4266. I cannot install wine-proton-5.0 anymore as it is no longer in the gentoo repo.

hyprland's code is a bit whacky though so it could be hitting some edge case.

I would've expected that hyprland would not be the cluprit, as it doesn't do much of the windowing and drivers itself as that is handled by wlroots (afaik?). Might try to install kde desktop or something, but emerging it and its dependencies might take a while...

Sorry for the double reply

Just tested glxgears through wine-vanilla (downloaded from http://www2.cs.uidaho.edu/~jeffery/win32/) and it works fine. (cannot find a precompiled version of vkcube for windows to test).
