Fusion 360 with Proton using Steam

Open tedbarth opened this issue 2 months ago • 7 comments

Describe the bug This is not a real bug since Proton is not yet supported (at least not documented). It gets me farther then the installer, though, which is stuck at "Loading additional modules", even before reaching the login screen.

Maybe we can figure out what to do for Proton to run Fusion 360, so there is another alternative, Steam-based. This could possibly even make Fusion run on Steam OS. 💃

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Install Steam
  2. Install using the installer
  3. Open Steam
  4. Main Menu -> Games -> Add Non-Steam Game to My Library...4.Click on "Browse" and select exe: $HOME/.fusion360/wineprefixes/default/drive_c/users/$USER/AppData/Local/Autodesk/webdeploy/production/a1d30517cb85d5c6acd42dad49b8adfaaac933fb/Fusion360.exe
  5. Right click on game -> Properties... -> Compatibility tab
  6. Enable "[/] Force the use of specific Steam Play compatibility tool" and chose "Proton Experimental" (works for most of my games)
  7. Launch ~Game~ Fusion

Expected behavior Have fusion running

Actual behavior Stuck on login screen: No browser opens

Are you using the default installer?

If so just look here: https://github.com/cryinkfly/Autodesk-Fusion-360-for-Linux/issues/529#issuecomment-3422207777

I did what you say there.

1.Installed with this script. 2.Created winetricks profile 3.Copied ~/.autodesk_fusion/wineprefixes/default to ~/.local/share/wineprefixes/default 4.Ensured it was the default on winetricks btw. 5.Edited the sh script to set the WINEPREFIX_DIRECTORY=$HOME/.local/share/wineprefixes/default/ 6.Run from the .desktop

And nothing, stuck at the same spot :')

As additional info, I get this when launching it from wine shell:

So it gets stuck loading "uiHelper" if this give someone some clue.

@maduranma Did you name the new prefix default?

I'm not really sure if it matters but could you try naming it something else?

Experiencing the same issue on Mint. Have tried all the workarounds offered on github page here and elsewhere, over multiple installed. An update to Fusion seemed to break what was previously working . The update came out at least 2 months ago though.

Hi, this is a known issue in Wine 10.15+, it's reported and as of today a patch has been proposed, I guess it will be fixed in Wine 10.21 or in the near future:
