Getting hoyoplay to work

As the title says I'm trying to get the hoyoplay launcher to run, with the latest update the launcher gets rejected by steam and all compatibility tools and I can't seem to get wine to work properly. Any ideas?

It should work Have you tried running it in lutris Hoyoplay, Zenless Zone Zero and genshin should all work out of the box

PikaOP•3d ago

I've tried, but for some reason after the launchers update even lutris can't open it, apparently it says I don't have wine installed I've tried WineZGUI but I can't make heads or tails on how to get it to launch the launcher

AHA•3d ago

Give Proton 7.0-6 or GE Proton 7-21 a shot - looks like it still works on those

Result::Err("sunny.ayyl")•3d ago

That doesn't seems to be problem with hoyoplay, missing wine would be a issue on lutris part, I would assume What's the error Mind sharing a screenshot? :thonk:

PikaOP•3d ago

Excuse the crappy pic, I don't know how to screen shot properly yet

When I used the installer it was fine but because of the forced launcher update it won't work no matter what proton I used, and I have no clue on how to put wine into lutris I can't install the launcher through the lutris site, only through manual download on the hoyoverse site

Result::Err("sunny.ayyl")•3d ago

Ah just ignore that It's normal Yeah that's what I did too, so that should work

PikaOP•3d ago

Hmmm, maybe cause I was doing a bunch of tweaking to try to get it to work it might have done something, I'll do a wipe on bazzite and try again Another thing is that the installer an error and retrying brings up the C++ installer for it

Result::Err("sunny.ayyl")•3d ago

Probably won't help Bazzite don't ship wine You're ment to use lutris to install them Try using the latest proton GE

PikaOP•3d ago

Did that

Result::Err("sunny.ayyl")•3d ago

Hmmm, did it not work

PikaOP•3d ago

For the install, but after the forced update it won't launch after that

Result::Err("sunny.ayyl")•3d ago

That's odd Let me try it Updating

HoyoPlay is broken under Proton (and GE-Proton). you need Wine-Staging-Tkg 10.5 to run HoyoPlay and ZZZ, but Genshin itself needs Proton 9 this error can be ignored

Result::Err("sunny.ayyl")•3d ago

Oh hmm yeah it seemes like the latest update broke it My apologizes I haven't done zzz dailes for the past days so haven't noticed it

termdisc•3d ago

wine-staging-tkg can be installed with ProtonPlus This is what I wrote up for the Heroic server. Genshin Impact 1. Install the ProtonPlus flatpak. Install Wine-Staging-tkg 10.5 into Heroic using Proton Plus. 2. When you choose to install Genshin from your Epic library, Heroic installs and launches HoyoPlay. Set the Wine version to wine-staging-tkg 10.5 3. Install Genshin with HoyoPlay. After that's done an hour later, exit out. 4. In Heroic's game settings for Genshin, set the runner to Proton 9, set the alternative exe to Genshin's exe. 5. Run the game.

PikaOP•3d ago

So I need the epic launcher too?

Result::Err("sunny.ayyl")•3d ago

I think you can get wine-staging-tkg for lutris

termdisc•3d ago

Not specifically if you're using HoyoPlay directly but I have my Hoyo stuff on EGS to have it in Heroic easier and honestly, I only install them to debug stuff and then move on that's right. I installed 150GB worth of anime games just to solve the problem of it not working

Result::Err("sunny.ayyl")•3d ago

For experiment and nothing more ... :glorp: /joking

PikaOP•3d ago

Okay, I'll give it ago when I can

AHA•3d ago

Not sure if you saw my earlier comment, but try running it under Proton 7.0-6

PikaOP•3d ago

Tried that

AHA•3d ago

Supposedly GE Proton 7-21 as well, but I haven't tested that myself yet

PikaOP•3d ago

The new required update to the launcher broke everything

AHA•3d ago

Yeah, it was busted for me as well - saw a comment suggesting P7 and it worked. Sorry you've no joy there

PikaOP•3d ago

I'm gonna try what termdisc said

PikaOP•3d ago

Thelnar•3d ago

want to throw my appreciation to this, was wondering why the launcher was causing issues after the update, I had it working 1/3 tries on proton experimental, but following this it just starts no issues after "failing" to update wine 😅

PikaOP•2d ago

ProtonPlus made it work with wine-staging-tkg, just like result::err said lutris was able to install it, both genshin and Zenless was able to run with wine 10.5 Now I gotta figure out how to sign in Ah, the password spots didn't show up So steps I did 1. Downloaded the hoyoplay installer from hoyoverse main website 2. Installed ProtonPlus and downloaded wine-staging-tkg 10.5 for Lutris 3. Install the launcher with the downloaded exe and set the runner to the tkg wine 4. Follow the installation steps including C++ install. 5. Let the launcher update happen 6. You are free to download and launch Genshin and Zenless 7. Use Lutris to set a steam shortcut Note: Change the controller inputs to wasd keyboard for genshin to set up controller inputs first, it doesn't read touch

termdisc•2d ago

If Genshin works with wine, great. In my testing, anything other than stock Proton (wine-staging or GE-Proton) was trying to load the anticheat and failing

PikaOP•2d ago

Yeah I didn't use any anticheat thing

termdisc•2d ago

Genshin uses anticheat

Linus Xu•2d ago

Genshin is sorta known broken rn due to server side gimmicks There is a server for running that… specific set of games on Linux and that issue is better discussed there

Result::Err("sunny.ayyl")•2d ago

Aww, it used to work great, I do want to ask, is ZZZ affected?

termdisc•2d ago

ZZZ works under wine staging tkg in my testing

Result::Err("sunny.ayyl")•2d ago

Oh thanks, I haven't played it in a while. Would be a bit sad to discover it broke overnight

Result::Err("sunny.ayyl")•2d ago

Oh wow, you really just have them and not play them I regonize that tutorial

termdisc•2d ago

Yep. That’s the opening tutorial

Result::Err("sunny.ayyl")•2d ago

Oh hmm, fair enough

-# Mind adding a extra gacha to your testing list? Currently, it require a bit of a workaround, but as far as I know, it's allowed (at least by offical discord's Admin) -# video playback is broken in game tho

termdisc•2d ago

Which game?

Result::Err("sunny.ayyl")•2d ago

Reverse:1999 Currenly, it require you to compile:

#include <libloaderapi.h>

int wWinMain(void *instance, void *prevInstance, void *cmdLine, int showCmd) {
    return ((int (*)(void *, void *, void*, int))GetProcAddress(LoadLibraryA("UnityPlayer.dll"),"UnityMain"))(instance, prevInstance,cmdLine,showCmd);
}

#include <libloaderapi.h>

int wWinMain(void *instance, void *prevInstance, void *cmdLine, int showCmd) {
    return ((int (*)(void *, void *, void*, int))GetProcAddress(LoadLibraryA("UnityPlayer.dll"),"UnityMain"))(instance, prevInstance,cmdLine,showCmd);
}

And replace the reverse1999.exe with the compiled exe
