Application launches, is unusable due to fonts not being displayed/input not working

[kentookura]

Thanks for the work on box64. I have manually compiled box64 for Snapdragon and am using a prebuilt wine. I am trying to run the bazaar. The installer ran fine. The application launches, but it seems that no text is able to be displayed: the login menu and text fields are all empty (images work fine). Entering text into the login menu also seems to be broken: the application logs that the password/email field is empty when attempting to log in. Attached is the full log file.

Thanks!

Maybe you need "corefonts" or something like that? try installing them with winetricks if you haven't already.

I did try that but I am unsure if that command succeeded:

I will try to start the application in a fully-fledged desktop environment. The logs indicate to me that some part of dwm are struggling.

[ptitSeb]

You need to update your box64 to the latest version, that will fix the winetricks issue and then you can install corefonts...

[kentookura]

This worked: I was able to start the launcher and log in. After successfully downloading the game I tried starting it. This caused the machine to freeze. I was not able to enter a tty and forced a shutdown. After rebooting, I had to run fsck to fix the filesystem. Now starting the launcher does not work anymore:

[kentookura]

Running the command from the location of the binary seems to have resolved this... Still trying to get into the game though

[kentookura]

Trying again froze the computer, needed to run fsck again...

[ptitSeb]

You might be running out of memory? maybe try to use a swapfile to see if it improve things.

You might also be triggering a bug in the graphic driver... which is probably not easy to workaround.

[ptitSeb]

Mmmm, this is an X-Elite machine right? I noticed instability with Freedreno (the OpenGL driver). Try to install dxvk to use vulkan in wine maybe?

[kentookura]

Yes, X-elite. I'll try this and get back to you. Thanks for your responsive help!

[kentookura]

No difference I'm afraid. I can't imagine that RAM is the issue, I have 32 gigs.

[ptitSeb]

yeah, not a memory issue on an X-Elite.

I still think it's probably an OpenGL/Freedreno issue.

Does this game run on OpenGL or DirectX?

[kentookura]

According to a dev, it runs on DirectX

[ptitSeb]

Do you see dxvk initializing on the console when launching the game? if no, then you may not have installed dxvk correctly?

[kentookura]

After double checking the installation instructions for DXVK, I did find a step that I missed. I fixed it and now see DXVK mentioned in the logs. My computer doesn't crash anymore, but the screen remains black, just the in-game cursor appears.

[ptitSeb]

with winetricks, it should be just winetricks dxvk to install it.

[kentookura]

The behavior is the same as when I installed it manually

@kentookura If you're on Ubuntu, you can try upgrading the Mesa graphics drivers with this PPA:

https://launchpad.net/~kisak/+archive/ubuntu/kisak-mesa

Then retest with the latest Box64.
