MiniMetro (unity game) no longer works

[theofficialgman]

MiniMetro is DRM free (so even when installing from steam you can just run it from the launchscript). it is a unity based game.

it coredumps during launch

this issue still occurs with BOX64_DYNAREC=0

Unfortunately I have not tried this game in a long time (since this issue was resolved https://github.com/ptitSeb/box64/issues/349) so idk when it stopped working or if it stopped working due to a box64 change or game change

the log below is with dynarec enabled

[ptitSeb]

Ok, I reproduce the issue. I'll check (an older DRM version, from HumbleBundle, worked fine)

[ptitSeb]

I did a bisect, and it"s the big elfloader refactore that is the issue. I'll do some more analysis later.

[ptitSeb]

Ok, this should be fixed now/ If you can update and test.

[theofficialgman]

it no longer core dumps. now all I get is a black screen. it isn't hung, I can hear the game audio in the background.

[ptitSeb]

Mmm, it worked for me on 2 test machines. Can you checks logs?

[theofficialgman]

game is crashing shortly after launch for me currently.

[ptitSeb]

Yeah, I reproduce the issue. It's the preload of steam game overlay that break the workaround for this game (it use libstdc++ but doesn(t expliciitly loads it and expect dependancies to do it).

I'll work on another workaround for this.

[ptitSeb]

Ok, I canged the way the workaround is done. It should works now with latest box64.

[theofficialgman]

works. thank you
