Runs fine after using Protontricks. Without it, latest Proton raises `shader: failed to compile vertex shader`. The weakest of the series.

Tinker Steps:Other, protontricks

In Protontricks, run a command line shell and execute protontricks 205060 d3dcompiler_43 d3dx9_43. The game should now run on the latest Proton with no issues.

After initial setup it runs pretty much flawlessly

Tinker Steps:Changed configuration, protontricks
  1. Removed the deps folder from the game files before first run
  2. Launched the game once and let it crash
  3. Installed the following components using protontricks:
  • d3dcompiler_43
  • d3dx9_43
  • openal

Crashes on launch out of the box, but can be fixed with the steps described. After that there are no issues at all.

Gives an error and then closes

Tinker Steps:Custom Proton: GE-Proton7-33

Opens:No

Other Bit.Trip games with the same startup error can be fixed by using GE Proton, but in this case it doesn't work.

Just fine after installing required dependencies in advance with protontricks.

4 years ago

As previous report states, installation and setup requires removing the 'dep' folder before first run, running once to set up the WINEPREFIX and then running 'protontricks 205060 d3dcompiler_43 d3dx9_43'.

Launch Flags:Use Wine D3D

Needed this personally, as i don't have Vulkan

Customizations:Protontricks

protontricks 205060 d3dcompiler_43 and d3dx9_43

  1. Remove the "Dependencies" folder
  2. Run the game once to let it fail
  3. Run "protontricks 205060 d3dcompiler_43 d3dx9_43" in a terminal.
