Sims 2 RPC not loading
Show and Tell
Basically, after getting the mod and patching everything. It just takes forever to load and I'm not sure if I have to keep it up for like a few hours or what. In any case, I am using EndeavourOS, and added The Sims 2 Starter Pack to steam and ran it using Proton Experimental. I am stumped and don't know what to do.
Patch Version
v0.2.0
UI Density
200% / 4K / 2160p
Installation Type
Repack or other automated installation
Hanging on the loading screen is not normal. Although from another user (#46), this happened because of the Clean UI mod. Do you have that installed?
If so, you can workaround it by adding some lines to the patcher program, and re-run the patcher to catch those files too. That's just until the patcher implements support for this in future (#46)... or you could uninstall Clean UI. Let me know if you need specific instructions.
I'm a fellow EndeavourOS-turned-Arch user too, but I run the game using vanilla Wine + DXVK winetricks, using a retail copy of the game. It is working on the latest version Wine (9.16). I can't imagine Proton Experimental being the problem since the game makes it this far.
I spoke too soon, it could be related to compression.
As I sent that comment and fired up the game, I witnessed the same as your screenshot — a white background with just the logo. I'm not sure what the state of my patches were, but reverting everything and patching again with "Compress Packages" unchecked works.
I'll close this issue for going stale and concerning an older version. v0.3.0 has been released if you wish to give it another try.
You're welcome to re-open this issue if there's still a problem. If it's because a UI modification, the patcher hasn't integrated this yet - subscribe to #46 for updates on that.
