Same result for me: You launch the game, the logo screen appeared then the game crashed.
I joined you the log.

WINEPREFIX=~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/214510/pfx/ winetricks directx9

That command is very likely to make things worse as it will use whichever standard version of Wine you have installed outside Proton, Wine4.0 is not the same as Wine 3.16.

Fair enough, but when shit goes wrong, they can just delete the 214510 folder inside compatdata 🤔

yep that's what I had to do twice. Got it working now though, performance isn't great but it's at least playable.

Internal error (please report) ../../../../proton/wine/libs/wpp/ppy.y 387: Invalid type indicator (0x0001) looks like a line of interest in the logs.

[nmiell]

https://github.com/wine-mirror/wine/blob/master/libs/wpp/ppy.y#L96

0x0001 is SIZE_CHAR

[nmiell]

Note that it never creates expressions with type cv_uchar or cv_schar, which suggests memory corruption or something.

[nmiell]

Further observations: the game requires D3DX9_41.DLL but doesn't do anything to install it, so it ends up using Wine's implementation which is incompatible.

The question is how did it ever work in the first place on Windows? Purely by coincidence based on the user's likelihood of having other Steam games installed which already installed the necessary dependencies?

This might be fixed by adding in the "228990 DirectX Jun 2010 Redist" depot to the packages, but that probably needs cooperation from Traveller's Tales and/or Warner Interactive.

[yajo]

So did anyone make this work?

[aanderse]

@yajo yeah I followed some instructions from https://www.protondb.com/app/214510 and it works great.

The game initially crashed after showing the first loading screen, but it was fine after I ran the command "protontricks 214510 d3dx9_41"

Crashes for me on Ubuntu 18.04

Log: https://gist.github.com/adrianlshaw/e288035037dc05337a0e7afe99689026

Same with proton-4.11-12 and 5.0

[Leopard1907]

There are multiple problems with this game.

1-) Game menu music doesn't work in Proton Experimental while it works ( menu music ) with Proton 5.13 and 5.10. So there is a regression. Nvm , it is completely random. Not sure if it is an actual issue now.
2-) Game doesn't save resolution and vsync changes. For a brief moment image goes sharper and when you hit apply , it just reverts all settings back. Tried with no esync and fsync also but no luck.

Changes made into Steam/steamapps/compatdata/214510/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Application Data/Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment/LEGO The Lord of the Rings/pcconfig.txt is a good workaround for this issue. They seem to be applied and does stick.

3-) Game needs d3dx9_41 applied otherwise it crashes. Luckily protontricks covers that.

Steam Link on NVIDIA Shield TV - Lego The Lord of the Rings - stutter when destroying things

Issue transferred from ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux#7695.

Your system information

• Steam link version (build number or date): 1.1.73.179
• Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Ubuntu 20.04.2, Mesa 20.3.4 - kisak-mesa PPA
• Opted into Steam client beta?: No
• Have you checked for system updates?: Yes

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

First of all, a huge thank you for your work on Proton, making it possible to play games on Linux! Second, thank you very much for supporting Remote Play from Linux hosts supporting AMD Hardware!

I've recorded a video illustrating the issue with debug information turned on at https://youtu.be/6Aw1l0pAXgI

I've tried several client setups using the exact same host setup:

• Streaming to another Ubuntu 20.04.2 Machine using the regular Steam client: no stuttering, steady 60 FPS
• Streaming to a Raspberry Pi 4 using the Steam Link app: no stuttering, steady 60 FPS
• Playing the game locally on the host: no stuttering, steady 60 FPS

The stuttering only happens when streaming to the Steam Link app running on a NVIDIA Shield TV (I have two of them, a regular Shield TV and a Pro version and both show the same problem). I'm playing many LEGO and other Games using this Remote Play setup and so far it is only in the LotR one where I've observed these drops below 20 FPS when destroying things.

I've also played extensively with changing quality and the streaming bandwidth settings. The stuttering remains the same in all cases.

While the video shows a sequence about 10% into the game, the issue manifests right away. Just start the game and start walking around in the Shire destroying things and you'll observe the stuttering when using Remote Play via Steam Link to a NVIDIA Shield TV.

Here are my settings (also noted in the video description):

Setup Host:

Ubuntu 20.04.2
Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX 5700 (8GB)
Kernel 5.8.0-44
Driver: 4.6 (Compatibility Profile) Mesa 20.3.4 - kisak-mesa PPA
Proton 5.13-6
To be able to run Lego LotR: protontricks 214510 d3dx9_41
CPU: i7-6700

Setup Client:

Nvidia Shield TV Version 8.2.2 (32.6.509.0)
Steam Link Version: 1.1.73.179

Here are the requested log files:
remote_connections.txt
streaming_log.txt

Steps for reproducing this issue:

1. Install Lego LotR using protontricks 214510 d3dx9_41.
2. Connect via Steam Link on the NVIDIA Shield TV.
3. Start a new game which will bring you drop you in the Shire. Start destroying random things to experience the FPS drops.

Hit a bug on latest proton experimental. I have the fix installed mentioned here, and it has worked great for about 15 hrs of gameplay. There is one part of the game in the 2 towers section, Warg attack, at the end, where it reliably freezes. The fix is to disable esync and fsync if they are enabled in your proton. Not sure which is responsible, but we hit the freeze at the same time, 5 times in a row, after killing two Warg riders, where only audio keeps playing. I disabled esync/fsync, and did not hit the freeze thereafter.

got
Internal error (please report) ./dlls/d3dcompiler_43/ppy.y 369: Invalid type indicator (0x12886770)
pid 20171 != 20170, skipping destruction (fork without exec?)
Proton Experimental, 7.0-3, 6.3-8 and 411-13 tested

[berksudan]

I did the following things on my Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and the problem solved. Though I'm not really sure which step(s) solved the issue exactly. The actions I have done are here:

• I installed winetricks by running this on Linux Terminal: sudo apt install winetricks.
• I installed protontricks by running this on Linux Terminal: sudo pip3 install protontricks.
• As suggested in here, I executed this on Linux Terminal: protontricks 214510 d3dx9_41.
• On Steam > LEGO LOTR > Properties > General, I added this to "Launch Options": PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%.
• On Steam > LEGO LOTR > Properties > Compatibility, I switched to Proton 5.13-6.

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

When starting the game the screen goes black and shows a copyright notice. After about 3s it crashes back to desktop.

The last relevant message shown is:
Internal error (please report) ./dlls/d3dcompiler_43/ppy.y 369: Invalid type indicator (0x0001)

The system is using an Intel on board graphics card.

I tried proton 7.0.5, experimental and 6.x.

I've attached to proton logfiles of the runs with 7.0.5 and experimental:

I confirm that installing (thanks @berksudan) winetricks, protontricks and then DirectX9.41 made the game working.

[waspennator]

Game boots up fine on my deck, however it seems to have an issue where the water is all rainbow seizurey. It can be seen as soon as you get to the title screen and goes away if you use protontricks to install d3dx9_41 or use proton ge
