ProtonDB | Game Details for Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes

For some reason, game is now working, 1 year after having tested with proton 7-4 for me. Using proton 7-6 now.

Tinker Steps:protontricks

Valve seems to have included an install script to their downloader, downloading specific dependencies, which fixed this game.

Startup: kind of works / Main menu: works / Gameplay: crashes

Installs:Yes

Opens:Yes

Starts Play:No

Tried Proton 8.0 and Proton Experimental.

Startup: the developer/publisher logo animations are not visible, but are audible.

Main menu: works.

Starting a game in quick play: the game crashes after the units and artifacts have been chosen.

Starting the campaign: no graphics are visible in the intro cutscene, only text. When the cutscene is skipped (and the gameplay would start), the game crashes.

Launch Flags:Use Wine D3D

This laptop is so old that the iGPU doesn’t support Vulkan, so using Wine D3D is required.

I’d recommend using a computer that’s slightly newer. On this 10-year-old laptop there’s occasional slowdown when there are large amount of units charging simultaneously (likely a CPU performance issue).

As noted below, there is an open bug on wineHQ for this game: https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30244

The bug has a workaround but I don't think this has been raised as a patch anywhere. This means that theoretically you could clone the repo of a proton fork such as https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom and then create and apply the workaround patch available here https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=63304&action=diff

Unfortunately building my own proton version is a bit beyond my skills but maybe this info will be useful for somebody.
