Game sometimes launches, but cannot get past initial screen

9 times out of 10 the game doesn't start and has to killed via the terminal (e.g. killall -9 GF2_Exilium.exe). I've managed to get past the login screen but can't get the menu to appear.

Tinker Steps:Switch to experimental, protontricks

Installed WebView2 with compatibility set to Windows 7, changed renderer to GDI

Installs:Yes
Opens:No

Tried the same steps I followed to get the game working on Lutris and Bottles (WebView2, GDI renderer etc) but the game doesn't launch, Steam says the game is running but nothing happens, tried with both Proton Experimental and GE-Proton 9-25 and GE-Proton 9-20 but got the same result

GIRLS' FRONTLINE 2：EXILIUM no Linux, Lutris/Heroic

1 month ago
Tinker Steps:Launcher: bottles, Custom Proton: Wine-GE-Proton8-26, Lutris

Instalar compatibilidade webview2

Instalação e configuração do GIRLS' FRONTLINE 2：EXILIUM no Linux, usando Lutris/Heroic

  1. Configure no aplicativo Heroic, o Wine-GE-Latest (Em meu teste, foi usado a versão 8.26)
  2. Configure no Lutris para usar como padrão, o Wine-GE-Latest
  3. Instale GIRLS' FRONTLINE 2：EXILIUM, Standalone - Haoplay
  4. No Heroic, clique em "Adicionar Jogo", em "Titulo" deixe "GIRLS' FRONTLINE 2：EXILIUM".
  5. Configure no "Prefixo Wine" exatamente o mesmo prefixo que está configurado no Lutris
  6. Selecione exatamente o mesmo executável que está configurado no Lutris.
  7. Execute winecfg, selecione msedgewebview2.exe e defina-o para Windows 7.
  8. Clique em TERMINAR
  9. Vá até o diretório $GAMEDIR/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft/EdgeUpdate e renomeie o arquivo "MicrosoftEdgeUpdate.exe" para "MicrosoftEdgeUpdate.exe.OLD"
  10. Finalmente, clique em Jogar
  • Observação:

Se o jogo ficar preso na instância, mate com este comando: 

kill -9 $(ps ax | grep .exe | grep -v grep | awk '{print $1}')
  • A seguir, imagem do jogo funcionando em meu PC:

Tinker Steps:Custom Proton: GE-Proton9-11, Set launch options, protontricks
gamescope -f -w 3413 -h 960 -W 5120 -H 1440 -F fsr --sharpness 0 --grab --force-grab-cursor -- %command%

Haoplay version:

  • Add the installer as a non-steam game.
  • Set compatibility to Proton-GE 9.11.
  • Change the target path to PCLauncher.exe in steam/steamapps/compatdata/[number].
  • Install webview2 from here using protontricks - uninstaller.
  • Open Protontricks - Change settings.
  • Check renderer=gdi and click OK.
  • Now use Protontricks - Run winecfg, select msedgewebview2.exe and set it to Windows 7.
  • Run the launcher and install the game.
  • Change target to GF2_Exilium.exe.
Graphics:Other

Game is rendered at a lower resolution on higher resolution displays (4K and Supewide, maybe 1440p+ Ultrawide too). FSR upscaling (gamescope) helps.

Significant Bugs:
  • Webview2 dependency for Haoplay makes it not work out of the box.
  • Clicking in the main menu to login does not work, use third button on left hand side.
  • Cursor is invisible for webpages, workaround: windowmanagerdecorated=n in proton/winetricks under Change settings (this breaks gamescope and turns window borders ugly).

Lutris script is available here.
For the most up-to-date work-arounds, see the original reddit post, also contains instructions for Bottles.

  • Add a new game using the installer
  • Close the launcher and right-click, configure.
  • Runner should be wine-ge-8.26 (default)

  • Go to the main lutris window, click on the button next to play and select Winetricks

  • Check renderer=gdi and click OK, ignore any warnings that you might get.
  • Now use run winecfg, select msedgewebview2.exe and set it to Windows 7.

I have yet to find a way to make this work in GameMode (SteamDeck), but this will work from Desktop.
