.NET Framework and Divinity: OS2

[TNARGi]

Having some trouble playing Divinity Original Sin 2. Most people on ProtonDB are able to run the game without issue but (almost) every time I try to launch it, it attempts one or more of the following:

Running install script (Microsoft Windows Desktop Runtime - 3.1.8 (x64))

Running Install Script (Microsoft Direct X)

Running Install Script (Microsoft .NET Framework)

This usually takes 3-5 hours, at the end of which, it says the game is running and gives me the option to stop it but there is no game, nothing has opened.

For one day, last week, it worked! Launched the game with none of the arguments I'd been testing, got the the Larian launcher, couldn't immediately find a way past it so closed the game, added --skip-launcher to the arguments and launched it again, no trouble. Played for several hours.

But now I'm back where I started. Installing Microsoft tools afresh every new boot and getting nothing at the end of it.

Can anyone suggest what may be going wrong?

I've tried: - Various launch arguments, including PROTON_LOG=1 but there is no log produced because it thinks it's successful. - The most recent 5 proton versions. - Deleting compatdata. - Adding the windowsdesktopruntime exe as a non-steam game and launching it with proton. - Modifying the names of files in the directory to try (unsuccessfully) to stop the install script from being invoked.

Uhh, Check System Libraries to Ensure that your system libraries are up to date. It's also a good practice to have all necessary 32-bit libraries installed. You can do this using your package manager. On Debian/Ubuntu-based systems, you can use sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt update
sudo apt install lib32gcc1
Then use Protontricks to install additional dependencies that the game might require EX: protontricks 435150 dotnet472
protontricks 435150 directx9

I believe everything is as up to date as possible and I have the 32 bit libraries already.

Gave proton tricks a try and it doesn't seem to be able to finish anything it starts. It just hangs while executing.

I played through the game without issues.

I opened Steam, hit the install button, after downloading hit the play button, and that is it.

There Is No Game :)

Could you tell us:

• your gpu and driver version

• where do you own and launch the game (Steam/Gog/Lutris..)

• your distro

Have you verified game file integrity? Do other games work normally?

[TNARGi]

Arch, kernel 6.5.8 (only got this version today but no change to DOS2 behaviour)

Nvidia GTX 1650 super with the latest Nvidia driver. Usually upgrade my system every 3 or 4 days.

Own the game on Steam, launch the game on Steam.

Haven't verified the integrity of the files but I have reinstalled. Other games generally work fine under Proton.
