[SOLVED] Wine complains about 'Broken NVIDIA RandR detected' - FNV

LucasBiazi · 2020-12-11 14:54:49

Good morning.

I downloaded FNV from Steam and have been playing it for a while, however, the game cannot be completed without extra patches + corrections due to crashes and bugs. In the Steam community of the game, there's a sticky post talking about this two patches that seem to fully work in Linux through wine, both of them promising to correct a lot of game issues.
The installation process is simple, just extract the files and execute them with wine. The first one that I installed was the 4GB patch, as the name suggest, makes the game aware of the 4GB existence. In order to execute it I did:

wine FalloutNVpatch.exe 
006c:err:winediag:is_broken_driver Broken NVIDIA RandR detected, falling back to RandR 1.0. Please consider using the Nouveau driver instead.
0034:err:winediag:is_broken_driver Broken NVIDIA RandR detected, falling back to RandR 1.0. Please consider using the Nouveau driver instead.
FalloutNV.exe patched!0024:fixme:msvcp:_Locinfo__Locinfo_ctor_cat_cstr (0031FB60 1 C) semi-stub

Pressione qualquer tecla para continuar... 0100:err:winediag:is_broken_driver Broken NVIDIA RandR detected, falling back to RandR 1.0. Please consider using the Nouveau driver instead.

As you can see wine trowed me some errors, regardless of that the patch seems to have worked (at least that's what the message says). The second one is the true issue. It is a launcher (just need to be launched once), and when I try to execute it with wine...

wine nvse_loader.exe 
006c:err:winediag:is_broken_driver Broken NVIDIA RandR detected, falling back to RandR 1.0. Please consider using the Nouveau driver instead.
0034:err:winediag:is_broken_driver Broken NVIDIA RandR detected, falling back to RandR 1.0. Please consider using the Nouveau driver instead.
0024:err:winediag:is_broken_driver Broken NVIDIA RandR detected, falling back to RandR 1.0. Please consider using the Nouveau driver instead.
0100:err:winediag:is_broken_driver Broken NVIDIA RandR detected, falling back to RandR 1.0. Please consider using the Nouveau driver instead.
0100:err:winediag:wined3d_dll_init The GLSL shader backend has been disabled. You get to keep all the pieces if it breaks.
0100:err:module:open_builtin_file failed to load .so lib "/usr/lib32/wine/l3codeca.acm.so"

The FNV launcher does not open and I get the 'load error 5:0000065434' pop up. Looking for a solution I came across this one user that said that maybe I was missing some 32bit drivers. So here's my pacman -Qs nvidia output:

local/egl-wayland 1.1.5+2+g9c9c4c6-1
    EGLStream-based Wayland external platform
local/lib32-nvidia-utils 455.45.01-1
    NVIDIA drivers utilities (32-bit)
local/libvdpau 1.4-1
    Nvidia VDPAU library
local/nvidia 455.45.01-6
    NVIDIA drivers for linux
local/nvidia-utils 455.45.01-1
    NVIDIA drivers utilities
local/nvtop 1.1.0-1
    An htop like monitoring tool for NVIDIA GPUs

I have an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 Mobile, and it seems to work with other games that I tested. Through my research I also found some users that got a solution from the following command: winetricks orm=backbuffer glsl=disable
I'm no wine expert, so I don't really know what it does. It didn't make the trick for me.
When installing wine I simply:

pacman -S wine

When I executed the first patch, wine asked for additional dependencies, that he installed by itself. I don't seem to find any other resource about this issue online. If you know what can be causing this error, feel free to post. Also, if needed just ask for additional outputs. Thanks in advance!

Edit 1:
I've tried changing the X configuration file to only accept my main resolution (1920 x 1080), as the wine wiki says. No success.

Solution:

I managed to work it around. Essentially you need to rename the nvse_loader.exe to FalloutNVLauncher.exe. Once it is done, Steam will now identify it as the game launcher, so this one will be executed as the main. Now that is has not just vanilla wine on its side, but proton, it probably fixes stuff. Not exactly the solution, but hey, I can play it. Fun trails!

Thank you. I will get a try.
Since i use NVIDIA, the games don't work anymore
