Game is working once more
This is my 3rd report. In the first report, the game worked well. In the second report, the game didn't run. In this report, the game works perfectly again. Perhaps it was the change to Ubuntu 24.04 that fixed things. I am now running Linux Mint 22 (based on Ubuntu 24.04) and hope that Carto continues to work so that I can finally finish the game.
No longer runs
The game no longer runs. I just see a black screen. It had been running perfectly and I have completed nine of the chapters. I suspect that a recent update to my Ubuntu 22.04 system has broken this game. Other games still play.
Runs perfectly
The games runs perfectly (graphics, sound, and keyboard control) - no tinkering needed. Ubuntu 22.04, Nvidia graphics with proprietary driver.
Only occured occasionally when putting the Deck to sleep and waking it after some time. Fixed on relaunch.
Played on both a Linux Mint desktop and Steam Deck, perfect on both.
gamemoderun %command%
Runs great. Zero problems. No tinkering needed. All features and functions including gamepad support works perfectly. I use GE-Proton and gamemode by default so this had to be marked as a tinker report.
Runing like a charm
The game runs very well as if it were a native linux game.
the game runs great on the Steam Deck
Full playthrough with no major issues
There was sometimes brief in-game lag after switching to another window and back to the game. It never lasted more than a few seconds and not switching windows avoided the problem entirely, so it wasn't a huge deal. I played on windowed mode instead of proper fullscreen. Not sure if that matters since I did not experiment with it.
Runs fine
No problem here, the game runs perfectly with Proton.
6.16-GE-1 GloriousEggroll
Used GloriousEggrol 6-16-GE-1 to fix videos (I believe there's only the Humble logo at the start and the intro cutscene); otherwise everything else worked with base Proton.
6.16-GE-1 GloriousEggroll
mf-install fixes the Humble Games logo at the start. I don't think there is any other video in game
Empty black window
Tried different versions of Proton (Experimental, 6.x, 5.x). Tried PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 and PROTON_USE_WINED3D11=1, no dice.
Error in LocalLow/SunheadGames/Carto/output_log.txt was "WindowsVideoMedia error 0x80004005 while reading Carto_Data/sharedassets0.resource , CreateObjectFromByteStream Call failed. VideoPlayer cannot play clip : Assets/ui/game state/logo/HumbleGames_Logo_Anim.mp4"
6.14-GE-2 GloriousEggroll
Proton-6.14-GE-2
Initially, I was getting instant crashing or the small error reporting window others mentioned. I had to add
PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%
to the game's launch options. This is a workaround for Wayland based systems.
It worked well on proton 6.5-GE-2. Black screen on all other proton versions except experimental but videos weren't playing.
6.5-GE-2 GloriousEggroll
The intro video does not play.
