Reproduction

Open the game

[XRaTiX]

Thats weird,I was able open the game just fine with Proton 6.3.7-rc,can you try deleting the prefix and recreate with Proton 6.3.7-rc? The prefix is 1665460

[jqadev]

Laucher is partially broken on Proton ExperimentaI. I was unable to select full HD resolution because of some Win Forms error.

[rezzafr33]

I didn't experience any problem related to the settings.exe, I do have desync problem with online play, similar to PES 2021 and PES 2022, I bet we can install vcrun2019_ge to fix this.

[Sultech]

I had pop tiling running which would just crash the game. Proton 6.3-7 rc does work I will close the issue

[rezzafr33]

Don't close this issue, this will be where we report any problem related to eFootball 2022, also desync issue isn't fixed yet.
I can confirm that installing vcrun2019_ge fix the issue, but that is a workaround not a proper solution.

[Sultech]

does anyone know how to open the settings again so I can change the resolution

[jqadev]

@Sultech try this #3227 (comment)

[Sultech]

@rezzafr33 how do I install vcrun2019_ge I have tried this, protontricks 1665460 /mnt/gamedisk/Linux/Text-Files/vcrun2019_ge.verb
But it dosen't install here is the log:

did pes 21 got online with vcrun2019? pes 20 i have tested

[rezzafr33]

@rezzafr33 how do I install vcrun2019_ge I have tried this, protontricks 1665460 /mnt/gamedisk/Linux/Text-Files/vcrun2019_ge.verb But it dosen't install here is the log: log.txt

There are 2 problems:

• first, wine's start.exe packaged in proton doesn't accept /exec argument, so you need to either remove or change that argument, for example /wait.
• second, the installation will fail because it can't replace symbolic links to read only files, to fix this you can utilize PROTON_DLL_COPY env arguments on Launch Options, here is mine :

PROTON_DLL_COPY="atl1*.dll,concrt1*.dll,msvcp1*.dll,msvcr1*.dll,vcamp1*.dll,vcomp1*.dll,vccorlib1*.dll,vcruntime1*.dll,api-ms-win-crt-conio-l1-1-0.dll,api-ms-win-crt-heap-l1-1-0.dll,api-ms-win-crt-locale-l1-1-0.dll,api-ms-win-crt-math-l1-1-0.dll,api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll,api-ms-win-crt-stdio-l1-1-0.dll,ucrtbase.dll" %command%

Then at least run the game once before execute protontricks!!, I took the value from proton GE here.

did pes 21 got online with vcrun2019? pes 20 i have tested

Yes it does, for now both pes2021 and efootball2022 require vcrun2019 for online match, not sure which native dll(s) are required , but I think ucrtbase.dll is a must.

[Sultech]

@rezzafr33 I figured out a different way to do it, I added the prefix to lutris I then used lutris's wine to run this command winetricks /mnt/gamedisk/Linux/Text-Files/vcrun2019_ge.verb . After this only the VC_redist.x86 installed so I opened VC_redist.x64 in the prefix and installed it. Now online is working

[FanderWasTaken]

Hi. I have an issue with DS4 controller. With Proton 6.3-7 LED light keeps blinking blue repeatedly

[rezzafr33]

There is a simpler one, put ucrtbase.dll in the same folder as eFootball.exe.

wget "https://download.microsoft.com/download/9/3/F/93FCF1E7-E6A4-478B-96E7-D4B285925B00/vc_redist.x64.exe"
cabextract vc_redist.x64.exe
cabextract a10
cp ucrtbase.dll  [SteamLibrary]/steamapps/common/eFootball/eFootball/Binaries/Win64/

also I don't know if this necessary, but just in case, use this launch options:

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="ucrtbase.dll=n,b" %command%

[Bito98]

Hello.
The game now crashes with Proton 6.3-8 and proton experimental: when I launch it, it opens a black window and then it closes after few seconds..
It works flawlessly with Proton 6.3-7 instead.
Here's the logs

[CiscoDeTours]

I'm able to launch the game and play online on Ubuntu 20.04.3 using Proton 5.13-6 and this method:

#5187 (comment)

To avoid being redirected to a page from Codefusion with the following message: "Currently your game purchase cannot be re-validated successfully" set properly the %command% in the launch options.

[brauliobo]

After finishing or quitting the pre-train match I get stuck in this loading screen:

Replying to #5187 (comment)

I have the same issue on steam deck.
just fix it by changing to proton 6.3-8 in properties compatibily

[hfalmeida2022]

Installing vcrun2019 with protontricks doesn't do anything for online play, unfortunately.

[rezzafr33]

vcrun2019 doesn't install ucrtbase.dll, see my last post #5187 (comment).

[hfalmeida2022]

vcrun2019 doesn't install ucrtbase.dll, see my last post #5187 (comment).

yeah, i was able to play a few online matches. Thank you

[Bito98]

Efootball had a major update yesterday and now it gets stuck on a loading screen after the initial tutorial. It seems it's trying to connect to the internet. Here is the log with proton experimental
steam-1665460.log

Update:
The game works by following this method #5187 (comment) and using Proton 6.3-8
Problem persists with Proton experimental and proton 7.0-1

[hfalmeida2022]

It's working fine for me

[dariokan82]

Meh. Denuvo works under proton right? It's the EAC that doesn't work at all.

We're deffo in for some more tinkering and maybe the game won't launch after the update and until the new proton is out.

I am not so worried tbh.

[wendersonp]

#3773 (comment)

Denuvo anti-cheat works with proton out of the box, so theoretically you shouldn't have any problems after the update.

[mfilipe]

Using GE-Proton8-14 and after some restarts, eFootball 2024 v3.0.0 ran.

[KingdomMadrid]

For me it doesn't work in GE-Proton 8-14 as I get a 'A D3D11-compatible GPU (...) is required to run the engine' - but that's not to do with the game, it's an issue my side.

Under 8-14 from terminal I get..

ERROR: ld.so: object '.../debian-installation/ubuntu12_32/gameoverlayrenderer.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32): ignored.
WARNING: discarding _NET_WM_PID 2898 as invalid for X11 window - use specialized XCB_X11_TO_PID function!

For anyone that comes across the same problem I tried PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command% which will get you into the game but every sub-menu you click on will break the game as you'll end up stuck with a black screen as the menus and colours fail to display and you can't go back - but you can collect your tokens from the mail :)

Unfortunately 7.30 GE which I used before no longer works as it just crashes on startup and from terminal the issue isn't very descriptive (to me at least) just a seemingly generic

[tuxtergames]

using proton 8.03 game runs nice with v4.0, looks like its just offline but works great!
evoweb provide a new patch with this version of game, enjoy all....

[tuxtergames]

hey guys, I can get some matchs online with proton experimental, if someone can check, theres a video, its in ptbr, but I just run through steamtinkerlaunch to access setings.exe, and run with proton experimental, running direct my game closes after a few minutes, If not allowed to paste links really sorry for that

After updating to eFootball 2024 it worked for the first day with both Proton-experimental and Proton 8. Then a small update occurred, like ~10 MB, and now it loads but with just a black screen, with any Proton version (haven't tried GE though). Maybe once in the last three days I did manage to run it (if it opens, everything works). Any ideas?

Does it close immediately afterwards? When the game ran for me - I found success by clicking/activating key presses as it loads and then I would get the Konami screen, not the black screen of sadness.

You can test this easier by loading the settings and switching to windowed mode.

[ffrancesco94]

Well it actually seems to work, thanks! Wonder what the science behind this bug is...

[KingdomMadrid]

IDK - when I ran it from terminal a few times it said that the window wasn't identified - which led me to think that the game is probably waiting for user input and times out if you don't give it what it wants during load up. Some games have window issues where you have to tab into them - so it made sense.

But tbh this side of tech I have 0 idea about - but so long as it works :)

[ghost]

Efootball 2024 is also crashing and closing, but within the game, in the field's weather settings.

Proton rc 8.0-4

eFootball 2024 works sometimes, but it's like a hit and miss. Why? It always starts, but only once in like 10 tries it works (always black screen in the start, then sometimes it changes to the splash screen, but most of the time it stays black).

Some observations I made (this applies to me, it might not apply to everyone):

• The WINEDLLOVERRIDES="ucrtbase.dll=n,b" %command% is necessary for the game to start
• If I have a second monitor connected, the game NEVER works (I play fullscreen, the first windows opens in like 1200x700 or something, then never goes fullscreen and never starts if I have the second monitor on)
• I think the game has problems with connecting to the servers or to the internet because if I have anything under 4MB/s (or 32MBPS), it never starts
• Changing between versions of Proton makes it start faster (my routine became try starting on GE, stop, change to Experimental, start, stop, change to GE, and then the game usually starts between 1-3 tries)
• Verifying the integrity of the game files makes it so you can open the settings again (without the use of Wine or terminal, that is the easiest way to reopen the settings again)

Also, ProtonDB recently changed the game from Silver to Gold, and I think even Silver is an overstatement for the game's state right now on Linux.

Hello, some of the things that you reported have happened here.
Like the window size,
Black screen sometimes after using health check

I only use the Proton that Steam provides
I tested the latest stable, experimental and now rc

Hello! For me, the black screen happens almost all the time, with or without health check, I was just saying that the check itself happens to reopen the settings so you don't need to use wine to open the game settings.

Thanks for your reply and I'd be happy to help solving this issue.

Most of the time the start to black screen issue gets resolved via the same suggestion to ffrancesco94 made a few replies earlier - did you try this?

Does it close immediately afterwards? When the game ran for me - I found success by clicking/activating key presses as it loads and then I would get the Konami screen, not the black screen of sadness.

Tried it, never worked for me! My game never crashes, it only opens a black screen that does nothing, doesn't load, doesn't work. I tried pressing keys while loading, never worked for me, and I actually found that not doing that makes it better for starting (for me). Also, sometimes running the game from Lutris (still Steam, just Lutris as a 3rd party that gives Steam the signal to open the game) makes it actually start most of the times.

Yeah Lutris is an odd one for me, when I load via Lutris it appears that the wine assets duplicate and one set escapes the container which causes the game will hang permanently until I go into my resource manager and delete them (internetexplorer.exe.... etc) but then the game works no problem without any tweaks or clicking needed.

[SDarius22]

I think I solved the issue for me, at least.

Connecting a controller (like the xbox controller), with an usb to my pc makes the game run everytime. Disconnecting the controller makes it start only like once in 10 tries (as I said earlier in this thread). But having the controller connected makes it start everytime, at least from what I've seen.

The game work with ge-proton 8.14, WINEDLLOVERRIDES="ucrtbase.dll=n,b" %command%, in Big Picture Mode

[hara63]

game does not work, how in the world it can be gold in protondb
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="ucrtbase.dll=n,b" %command% does not work (big picture or not)
MANGOHUD does not work (big picture or not)
disable steam overlay does not help
fullscreen or windowed does not help

everytime pc crashes after choosing trikots

it is fucking frustrating

[vedranmiletic]

@hara63 the way it works for me (Ryzen + Radeon) is: no overrides, no Proton-GE, nothing special needed. Avoid complicating all that stuff.

I use Proton Experimental because it was on the top of the list in Steam, but 8.0 would probably work too.

The way to play is:

1. delete compadata directory
2. start the game
3. configure the game via Setup.exe
4. select language, download player new game data etc.
5. play for a while
6. quit the game
7. repeat the same story next time you want to play the game, but avoid doing that too many times in 24 hours because Denuvo will not like it

That is the only way I found that works reliably. Starting the game without deleting compatdata directory first will display black screen on startup.

It is what it is and, yes, it does takes some effort, but freedom is not free.

Removing this launcher option the game runs here with proton experimental, using mangohud and gamemode on a launcher.

[hara63]

Thanks for the Inputs. Game still does not work. Probably my fault, idk. I am back to Windows :(

Hello, here the game is closing by itself, whenever you configure the field, after choosing the teams. It also randomly closes a few seconds after reaching the main menu, if you don't do anything on the game's menu screen.
Sometimes it failed at initial opening, on the first screens, when trying to start the game after installing it.

In the system's clipboard, this error was generated after closing the game:

BUMP This game worked ONCE for me... And rest of the time the black screen.

Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
Ryzen 7 5800X3D
AMD RX 6600XT 8GB

Edit: Tried Expiremental, GE, 9.0 and some others which I can't recall.

[KingdomMadrid]

@NLBen If you haven't already, make sure you are starting the game from steam 'big-picture mode' if you don't do this it doesn't load.

You can also check here for more recent attempts and trials: https://www.protondb.com/app/1665460

For me it always works with Big Picture mode but some people also have success with: gamemoderun %command%

[CiscoDeTours]

Select Proton Hotfix for a plug and play experience. The game works fine for me even after several KONAMI updates.
