just submitted a lutris installer https://lutris.net/games/skylords-reborn/ (might take some days to get approved by mods, until then click on "show unpublished installers")

Hey LordAkius,

first off all i have to say the installer worked like a charm so good job 🙂, but now over the night i have a Strange Errror code.

So if anybody can see the problem i have, cause i'm Clueless it would be fantastic.

 

Error Log

For those of you, who use the method originally posted by Ultrakool to start the launcher, the most recent patch added some features to the launcher which need some additional setup.

1. You need to use your package manager (for example apt-get on Debian based Linux distrbutions or brew on MacOS) to install winbind, e.g.:
sudo apt-get install winbind

2. You need to install .Net 4.8, vk3d3 and d3dcompiler_47 via winetricks. So if you WINEPREFIX is ~/.wine32 do:
WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32/ winetricks dotnet48 d3dcompiler_47 vkd3d

If you run into any trouble, feel free to ask for help 🙂

Could you help me with getting winbind on steam deck? I tried using pacman command, which I think is the same, however even after updating package list it would not find it.

For all who are unable to get the .Net framework dependent updater to work, I updated the Linux updater script to the new manifest format from the latest patch. The script is available at github.

The script goes into the Battleforge directory, next to the SkylordsRebornUpdater.exe. Any filename works but please note that the update process may overwrite the script with the old version if it is called `skylords-upd.sh`.

I updated the readme file on github.

A quick google search lead me to the following way of installing it on Steam Deck:

1. Locate which pacman package contains winbind by running `pacman -F winbind` (Without the quotes).
2. Install the package via pacman -S <package name> with the package namejust displayed. For the post I found on the internet it was under extra/apparmor, so they had to write `pacman -S extra/apparmor` to get it installed.

Did you already use winetricks to install dotnet48? I.e. if the WINEPREFIX of your installation is ~/.wine32/, do:
WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32/ winetricks dotnet48

The net framework is a notorious pain point on Linux. I was unable to get it to work even after trying out lots of different things. Thats why I came up with the alternative updater script. Have you tried it out?
