Hey, I’m having trouble getting RoR to run:

Issue: The launcher keeps freezing.
Sometimes it shows the yellow webserver connection, other times it says "Downloading (1/2) 50%", or something like "Downloading (x/778) y%".
As soon as it hits the “Downloading” part, the launcher completely freezes — I can’t click the cog or anything. If I only get the yellow webserver status, I can click the cog so the launcher is not frozen, but nothing ever downloads.

I followed all the steps in the installation guide and went through the troubleshooting section too — no luck. I’ve also tried multiple Wine versions, used Gamescope, and probably a few other things. I’ve wiped and reinstalled everything from scratch three times now, carefully following the instructions, but still no success.

Happy to provide logs or any other info if needed!

Whats in the launcher.log file that can be found in the logs folder of RoR?

Other things to try:
-Do not use flaptak Lutris. This can have permission issues.
-Try with VPN or different connection if you can. Might be some strange routing issue

Hey xpander,

I cleared it and restarted the launcher a few times until it got past the yellow webserver status. This time, it reached “Downloading 2/14 50%” and here’s the corresponding log:

Regarding Lutris: I’m not using the Flatpak version. I try to avoid Flatpak and Snap whenever possible and stick to system packages.

I also tried running it through a VPN — no change. Even bypassed my Pi-hole entirely, but that didn’t help either. I thought it might be a Wayland/NVIDIA issue, but running it on X11 gave me the same result. Not sure what else would cause the launcher to freeze like that. :cry:


//edit:
The issue was, that the install didn't create the executables for some reason. xpander was nice enough to provide them for me and that made the launcher work properly.

So people who would like to use framegen and have lossless scaling from steam, you can compile this and try it:
https://github.com/PancakeTAS/lsfg-vk

It's still kinda experimental at the moment but keeps getting updated/improved.

I'm personally not a fan of framegens due to added input latency and some ghosting.

edit:

Tested the new build of lsfg-vk . It works with RoR only when you are using wine-wow64 or any wine build that makes 32bit apps work on 64, as lsfg-vk only has 64bit support atm.

with the multiplier 2 i get from 100 fps cap to 165 synced with my monitors refresh... input is okaish but ghosting is pretty noticable.

looks like flatpak version of lutris. which isnt recommended.
try adding file permissions with flatseal for it i guess

I have installed flatseal. In flatseal I turned on all permissions for flatseal and lutris but I am still getting the same error when installing.

Are you able to pinpoint the exact way to install this?

I have 0 knowledge for Linux.

sorry i have never used flatpaks myself, but the error log you posted before tells like the path its searching to extract those files either dont exist or it cant see it due to permissions

basically the prefix lutris installer creates needs to be accessible for flatpak runtimes:

Code: Select all

/home/deck/Games/warhammer-online-return-of-reckoning/
someone with more flatpak knowledge could probably help you further

edit: try giving winetricks access to that location also

edit: or try just manual install with lutris, without the script on lutris site. by just using the + sign in lutris and install from windows installer.
will skip the winetricks then and it might just work..cause ror installer also has directx9 install anyway.
