RS3 Can't Launch on Archlinux

[tilkinsc]

Arch btw

Ryzen 9 3900x Rx 6900 xt

yay -S bolt-launcher
bolt

I was able to log in successfully. The first time I clicked download it downloaded and installed. It printed out Game launch status: 'OK' and has a bunch of bolt processes hanging (probably from chromium). A process named rs3linux is present but is looks like its hung up doing nothing.

[mkp@arch ~]$ bolt

/home/mkp/.local/share/bolt-launcher/rs3linux: error while loading shared libraries: libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

/lib and /usr/lib (but not /usr/local/lib) has:

./libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0
./libgdk-3.so.0.2409.32
./libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so
./libgdk-3.so
./libgdk-3.so.0
./libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0.4200.10

So it's understandable that rs3linux couldn't find libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0 Progress was made with yay -S libgtk2

Getting the issue with openssl 1.1 not being found. Attempting to yay -S openssl-1.1

Okay its splash screening. Signing in feels very loady, expected. Logging in to play. [Loading - please wait.] :tm:

My issue was resolved with,

yay -S libgtk2 openssl-1.1

Proposal

• Add section for libgtk2 issue since this is a very vanilla install of x11 arch on cinnamon, if other can me too this
• Add section promoting sdkman instead of using the aur jdk17, as its nicely packaged and contains actually modern releases while not stealing your JAVA_HOME and masking your /usr/bin/java

curl -s "https://get.sdkman.io" | bash
source \"~/.sdkman/bin/sdkman-init.sh\""
sdk install java 21.0.2-tem

# you can swap java versions easily via
# sdk use java 21.0.2-tem

# [mkp@arch lib]$ which java
# /home/mkp/.sdkman/candidates/java/21.0.2-tem/bin/java
# [mkp@arch lib]$ echo $JAVA_HOME
# /home/mkp/.sdkman/candidates/java/21.0.2-tem

libgtk2 and openssl-1.1 are listed as optdepends for 'rs3' in the AUR package. For oldschool, installing any Java version is fine, but I don't think there's a good way of conveying that in opedepends because it needs a specific package name.

[tilkinsc]

You're right. They are listed as optdepends. Which I would discover through the AUR website, pacman -Qi bolt-launcher or yay -Si bolt-launcher. I wonder if its better to disable rs3 functionality through the bolt-launcher GUI, informing users can download these optdepends (gtk2, openssl-1.1) to activate it.

There's no easy way for Bolt to check this unfortunately. I'd have to do a load of PATH searching which would noticeably slow down the launch. I think I'll just have to rely on arch users to read the optdepends.
