I think you’ve just pointed me in the direction of a solution…

The comment you’re referring to seems to be this one:

mv Launcher Launcherbak
ln -s bin Launcher
ln -s ./bin/bg3_dx11.exe ./bin/LariLauncher.exe
cp ./Launcherbak/*.dll ./bin

creating a symlink to trick steam into thinking it’s running the launcher when it actually runs the game. BUT … my SSD is formatted as exFAT, which doesn’t support symlinks, so I can’t do this.

So I’m guessing proton is trying to create a symlink at pfx/dosdevices/c when it installs .NET, but fails, which is also probably why everyone else seems to have a breezy time with it. Not sure why my other games haven’t run into this though… maybe they haven’t needed to install anything there?

I will report back after reformatting my entire SSD lol

I tried to create a symlink “c:” pointing to …/drive_c, but I couldn’t. “Operation not permitted” I then got ptsd flashbacks to the last time this happened - turns out it was because my SSD is formatted as exFAT, which doesn’t support symlinks.

Ohh, is the “c” just a symlink to the drive_c folder?

I need STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH because my proton is installed in a different steam library than the game, all of my proton games use this. I tried to remove it anyway and try just ‘–skip-launcher’, but now the game doesn’t launch lol

The command likely won’t work for you because you don’t have proton installed at that location

Still the same error unfortunately.

Interestingly though, when I try to install .NET manually via protontricks-launch -v --appid 1086940 /home/user/Downloads/windowsdesktop-runtime-6.0.35-win-x64.exe I get the following error:

/media/user/T7/Main/Games/SteamInstalled/steamapps/compatdata/1086940/pfx/dosdevices/c:/windows: No such file or directory

Going down that tree I see the entire path is there except for “/c” at the end. I manually added a “c” folder, but then I get stuck at this error:

protontricks (ERROR): Active compatibility tool was found, but it's not a Proton installation supported by Protontricks.
Proton installation could not be found!

I know my proton installation works because all my other games use it fine. Proton is on a different drive than BG3, could that cause issues?

No, installed from debian repository

I already skip the launcher but this error still happens. My launch args are STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH=/home/user/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata %command% --skip-launcher

I see!

I installed protontricks and read through the usage instructions

I’ve done protontricks-launch --appid 1086940 /home/user/Downloads/windowsdesktop-runtime-6.0.35-win-x64.exe

but it looks like it’s stuck?

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction, I’ve never used protontricks before

Edit: using protontricks 1086940 dotnetdesktop7 seems to get past that point, but then I get another error

protontricks (ERROR): Active compatibility tool was found, but it's not a Proton installation supported by Protontricks.
Proton installation could not be found!

my proton is installed in a different steam library than BG3, could this cause issues?

Yes all the others I play work fine, I have only had an issue with BG3

Thank you, Yes experimental is the one I tried as per people’s recommendation on protondb. I have also tried 9, 8, 7 but all give the same error. Putting the --skip-launcher argument in still brings me this error. I can’t even get to the launcher 😭

Or maybe they have the ability to make you weaker

Yep it’s not near finished. This is one of those projects that’s sat in my “keep an eye on it” bookmarks for a good while, I figured I’d post it to get some attention on it, because it does look very promising.

I found some here: https://docs.spacebar.chat/setup/server/#setup

It depends entirely on the company you work for. Even then, I wouldn’t exactly describe the work as “chill”

Win11 doesn’t let you past setup if you dont have an internet connection.

You’re probably right, but it’s an alternative for people who don’t.

PlanarAlly is a pretty cool self-hosted VTT.

Known Affected Mods

The known affected mods include, but are not limited to:

• EnderCore (dependency of EnderIO). The GT New Horizons fork has been fixed, and the original has been aswell, but EnderIO’s minimum versions has not yet been updated.
• LogisticsPipes. This has once again been fixed in GT New Horizons version as of July 25, 2023, and the original is fixed since version 0.10.0.71. MC 1.12 versions are not affected. If you have played on a server with a vulnerable version, assume you are infected.
• The 1.7-1.12 versions of BDLib. Once again, GTNH fork has this fixed, but the developer of the original currently does not plan to fix it. Assume you are infected if you have played on a server and are not on the GTNH fork.
• Smart Moving 1.12
• Brazier
• DankNull
• Gadomancy

Currently the only confirmed exploits have been against 1.7.10/1.12.2 Forge mods.
