having issues running Marvel Rivals with Heroic (and gamescope and Mangohud)
help thread to not clutter chat. quick summary:
Done so far: change to Proton GE, change to correct gamescope, set up Mangohud (works in Prism Launcher)
status: Marvel Rivals when launched displays a screen asking that I install the Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime. I've been told to use Protontricks, but that only gives me this error message:
Protontricks was closed due to the following error:
Found no games. You need to launch a game at least once before Protontricks can find it.
=============
Please include this entire error message when making a bug report.
Environment:
Protontricks version: 1.12.1
Is Flatpak sandbox: True
Is Steam Deck: False

Couldn't find custom shortcuts. Maybe none have been created yet?

Use Winetricks in Heroic, not Protontricks
I don't have that installed, it seems. Searching Winetricks in both Gnome search and software brings up Protontricks though.
Do I layer that?
Don't you have the winetricks option in the game's settings in heroic?
Ah, that's what termdisk meant. Thanks!
No worries! As far as mangohud and gamescope integration goes, this is far less cumbersome if you use the appimage instead of the flatpack in my experience
vcrun2022 is now installed, sorry for having been so dense earlier :)
unfortunately, the game doesn't seem to launch. After pressing play, a small windows sometimes briefly pops up (wasn't fast enough to see what it is so far), and a few seconds later, the button goes back to "play now".
that would use the system gamescope and mangohud bazzite has right
yeah
if you click report a problem... under the game you can see the log
would I be able to use my already downloaded MR on the appimage? my internet speed isn't exactly great
Post the link to the uploaded log
aight will

While you’re enabling verbose logging, check and unchecking the disable Umu button
"targetExe": "/home/marinee/Games/Heroic/MarvelRivalsjKtnW/MarvelGame/Marvel.exe",
wrong exe as wellso this is going to stupid, but I can't find one nor the other.
Game’s settings, Advanced
oh damn. do you know which one would be the right one?
am I blind or...?
Yes, I already provided that to you
That’s global settings. Go to the game
Similar to the place you found Winetricks
ah, that explains quite a lot :)
done and done, ill try finding the correct exe now.
aight, ill try again now.
worth noting that the black background has the shape of the Marvel Rivals Launcher.
what would you advise me to do?
did you manage to power through it?
I would not mess with gamescope until you get the game working
but I also don't mess with gamescope ever
every failed run, post a new log
Yeah this should keep your games. When you install a game you can point it to the installed location
you're right, I'll disable upscaling. log coming right up
https://0x0.st/82Dp.log
now to try without upscaling
hallelujah!
Nice! hf gaming and sorry for interrupting while you were getting proper help 😄
Don't say that, you were a great help too! I genuinely didn't think of looking in the game menu lol
@termdisc well, FSR is going to a fun time, but at least it works now. Thansk a gigantic amount for having taken so much time to help me!
ayy, nice
it's not quite a perfect experience though...
apart from my legendary 1100 ping, which is something neither Linux nor Windows can really fix
it's absolutely a step in the right direction
absolutely tragic
there's also the fact my GPU is at 50C, but I only get 20 so fps
issue that I've been also having on Prism Launcher aka Minecraft
are you running hybrid graphics?
potentially related to Vsync, but I think I tested that once and the problem still persisted
nope
dont even have an igpu
Why not use the in-game FSR settings?
On Windows, I always had to enable FSR in Adrenaline to use it. That's not a thing on Linux?
it should just let you toggle it?
in-game I mean
See if you have fsync enabled in the heroic game options. That could help if you're cpu bound afaik
if mangohud is to be believed then no, it stays at 2K
also doesnt look like fsr to my eyes
nvm it just works well
menus are 2k but game is clearly fsr
my entire world is in shambles right now
makes sense that fsr wouldn't be applied to anything other than the 3d viewport
aaaaa don't worry about it, we've all been there
ill try, but CPU is chilling at 50C and around 30% usage too.
well, maybe the latter is a problem.
is already enabled.
Mangohud only looks for global FSR (FSR1)
FSR 2 and 3 built into the game looks better anyway
