I'm having this issue as well. This is just a guess but it may possibly be a lack of .NET 4.0 since the launcher requires it. However my attempts to install .NET 4.0 through winetricks failed I think due to Proton creating a 64bit WINE prefix. Edit to add: Odd. Your log says you already have the framework. In that case I'm not sure. |
|
In case it's of any use: Game tries to launch but fails. This is a Debian Testing system with an AMD RX580 |
|
Same issue here. My specs are as follows: https://gist.github.com/binarycocoa/8136601c67e54d720f43bd9c51d540c0 |

I was able to get it to launch with the following steps:
Once this is done, the launcher will appear but will most likely be black. A workaround is if you move the mouse over the launcher, the buttons will appear. I clicked on the Homeworld 2 Remastered icon. Once it launches, for me the resolution was off. I have a 2560x1080 screen, but it was showing a letterboxed window in the middle that was cut off. I was able to switch to windowed mode and then switch back to the proper resolution. I have to do this each time it loads. The last problem is that the game dosen't cleanly exit. Once you click exit, it seems to freeze. |
|
@d10sfan Did you have to kill Steam and all Wine processes during HW2's initial setup? It got stuck during step 4 for me. After I killed Steam and Wine it worked as you described. Also I found minimizing and restoring the launcher forces it to redraw its contents. |
|
I did have to kill some wine processes for it to work, don't remember having to do steam though. I did see the launcher issue. |
|
Heads up, here on Ubuntu 18.10 you can use Gallium nine to run DX9 natively. It seems to bypass the launcher bug that causes the freshly initialized memory to turn black. #66 PROTON_GALLIUM_NINE_MODULEPATH="/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/d3d/d3dadapter9.so.1:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/d3d/d3dadapter9.so.1" PROTON_USE_GALLIUM_NINE=1 %command% Still crashes on exit but an improvement in the startup. |
|
So Proton 4.2-3 added wine-mono. This game will still not launch when I use 4.2-3. |
|
4.2-8 updated wine-mono and according to 4.2-8's changelog:
Unfortunately this still didn't help. |
|
Hello, can someone grab an updated Proton log? |
|
steam-244160.log |
|
so still not working after almost 1 year |
|
The game itself works perfectly fine (except for a hang on exit issue), it's just the launcher has issues unless you use the workarounds posted above. |
|
for me it does not launch at all. it just says running and stops after 1-2 seconds |
|
Yeah that's the launcher issue. The method to get it up and running is a bit screwy but has been known to work. |
|
@logan001 If you don't mind a bit of shell scripting you could give this a go: https://git.sr.ht/~_dev_fra/hwrc-proton-launcher/tree/master/hwrc-proton-launcher |
|
It's working but the game is crashing and I need to use this modification from line 169 to line 171 for a best Steam launching detection: |
|
if you use this script : https://git.sr.ht/~_dev_fra/hwrc-proton-launcher it runs brilliantly except for multiplayer which fails to connect to both LAN and online games ....which is the only thing I'm interested in. |
any idea of how you prevent the "you are running the game with -mod" error message when you try multiplayer? I checked the script's run arguments I completely commented out the mod code there is no "-m" left yet I still get this error. |
|
gotta love this error message... : [| it claims the error is i'm on a different version of something but obviously the code that checks this is getting thrown off by the linux environment and failing where it shouldn't be. darn shame... is there anyone who got multiplayer working? |

Could try between a couple of Linux boxes running the same proton version to see if that works. |
|
This game/collection finally works for me out of the box without any tweaks on proton 6.3-5. The only remaining issues for me are the error "couldn't initialize default rendering system" with Homeworld Classic and some kind of screen issue (picture is off center and partially off screen) with Homeworld 2 Classic. |
I think that is an issue with the max resolution that HW2C supports by default without command-line params (1280x1024 iirc) playing silly buggers with how WINE (or Linux) does full screen applications. The only fix for that I've found is to use the modding screen to set the params for HW2C to "-w $width -h $height" where $width and $height is your native screen resolution. Unfortunately however launching this way requires a mod to be selected so you'll need to load one. If you want a full vanilla experience I found "Trail Fix (HW2 Classic)" on the workshop works as a suitable dummy mod that doesn't change the gameplay. |
|
Removed local installation, tried with experimental and 6.3-8. It's shown as playable on Steam Deck. Crashes on both instances. |
|
@braiam did you try disabling esync and fsync? We are in the process of adding noesync,nofsync for the game by default, but it looks like the variables haven't been set yet. |
|
@alasky17 With |
|
@braiam Thank you for testing that. Are you on a steam deck? If not, could you upload your hardware specs output from the steam menu -> help -> system information? |

Upgraded mesa recently, here's the log from the console
The specs output again

|
Launcher crash with 6.3-8. With 7.0-2 launcher works, but the game after Gearbox logo goes black with only music playing. Specs |
|
Multiplayer still fails to work due to apparently having a different yet equal set of mods, any known way to fix this yet? (Ubuntu 20.04, tested with 6.3-8, 7.0-3, and Experimental) |
|
As a Linux gamer I cannot see Windows hosted games for Homeworld Multiplayer. And I've read online if a Linux gamer hosts the game, Windows gamers cannot join. Can we please get cross-platform multiplayer going for this already? I really can't fathom why this fails with how "old" this game is. |
It's a known issue with no known fix unfortunately. I had considered running a debugger over the game, or using Wireshark to sniff the traffic between a couple of games to see if there's a discrepancy with how HWRM reports its version in Proton. But I honestly don't have the know-how to really do that in a meaningful way (plus MP traffic is likely encrypted in some manner I'd imagine). You could try running HWRM with /forceLAN or -forceLAN however idk if that'd help with online multiplayer. |
|
Mine just says network unavailable when I try to host a LAN game, and I can't see a game hosted on Windows (IDK about if it's hosted on Linux) |

Steam shows "preparing to launch" window, which then closes and nothing happens. Other games in my library seem to be working... so far just this one. Any help deciphering what's going on would be appreciated. Logs and information below.
Latest Steam client (installed from Ubuntu Software / ubuntu-bionic-multiverse repo).
Beta enabled. (tried leaving/rejoining just in case)
Python 2.7 installed.
Attempted each option from Proton user_settings. No change.
All software and drivers are up to date.
Computer info shows "unknown" for make/model, but in case it helps I am using a Dell Latitude 7490.
Proton log file can be found here: https://gist.github.com/evilsparc/000a34d18ec8bb097732a8c8d189f4eb#file-steam-244160-log
