[SOLVED] Star Wars Battlefront 2 doesn't start.

Hello!
I'm trying to play star wars battlefront 2, but if I press the "play" button on steam, an EA window pops up, then closes after some seconds and then nothing happens, except that the "play" button on steam is showing again. I added the following to the `LAUNCH_OPTIONS` box: `PROTON_LOG=1 %command%`. Here you can see the content of the log file:

https://gist.github.com/TornaxO7/bc93cb … 70fe1877d5

Do you have an idea how to fix that?

The only suspicious part I could found was
```
1079.753:0218:02a0:warn:seh:dispatch_exception unknown exception (code=800703e6) raised
```

but I couldn't find any other posts about this exception.

Re: [SOLVED] Star Wars Battlefront 2 doesn't start.

1066.202:0030:0034:trace:seh:sigsys_handler SIGSYS, rax 0xffff, rip 0x600000000005.

That looks like the first reported error . A ddg search for it suggests this could be a problem in your vulkan setup .

Please post the output of (run as normal user)

$ lspci -k
$ vulkaninfo --summary   #comes_with__vulkan-tools__package

Re: [SOLVED] Star Wars Battlefront 2 doesn't start.

No idea what formatting you are using, but these forums use BBCode . Please use  [ code ] tags for such output.

The outputs show you have 1 videocard, an AMD RX 6660 . You are missing vulkan layers to support that card/driver though .

Install vulkan-mesa-layers & lib32-vulkan-mesa-layers . rerun vulkaninfo --summary, it should now show several additional layers including VK_LAYER_MESA_device_select .

P.S.
No idea where VK_LAYER_NV_optimus comes from as you don't have an nvidia card or optimus system.

Oh nice! I was following thtis article

P.S.

Hm... I have the nvidia-utils package for some reason, I just removed it since it looks like that no other package depends on it now.

Will do!

Re: [SOLVED] Star Wars Battlefront 2 doesn't start.

That article is about mediawiki and is only applicable to content on archwiki(or other wikis using mediawiki ).

Vulkaninfo output looks good now, try starting Battlefront 2 again.

Re: [SOLVED] Star Wars Battlefront 2 doesn't start.

  0.000:00c8:00cc:err:module:hacks_init HACK: setting LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE.

This is a bad sign, post

$ glxinfo -B      #comes-with__mesa-utils__
$ glxinfo32 -B #comes-with__lib32-mesa-utils__

I'm beginning to suspect the  errors are in the steam setup,  it would be helpful to post a log from just starting steam itself .

Re: [SOLVED] Star Wars Battlefront 2 doesn't start.

Nothing wrong in glxinfo outputs, the steam start log has fontconfig warnings, but those should be harmless.

Maybe the log from starting battlefront has to much info to see the real cause, can you try starting it from terminal without the proton_log addition ?

SW BF 2 is an EA-game I think ?

Yes, I'll try that out later.

Yes, that's right.

Re: [SOLVED] Star Wars Battlefront 2 doesn't start.

The following code block is everything, starting from starting steam, by executing `steam` in my terminal, starting Star Wars Battlefront 2, until I'm seeing the play button from Star Wars Battlefront 2 again.

No, that's the wrong game. It's this one.

Re: [SOLVED] Star Wars Battlefront 2 doesn't start.

The origin version ?
the most recent test result of that was on a mac, so very different hardware.
It does mention DXVK is needed and that hasn't been looked at.

output of pacman -Qs vulkan ?

Re: [SOLVED] Star Wars Battlefront 2 doesn't start.

I'm having the same issue, but with an NVIDIA card. I've compared the outputs of the commands here and everything seems the same except the vendor differences, and I'm seeing the error below in the logs:

(process:201158): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed

I'd appreciate any help

Re: [SOLVED] Star Wars Battlefront 2 doesn't start.

That is not an issue and not an error that would implicitly break something. Please don't revive 2 year old threads that may or more likely may not have any relation to your issue https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Genera … bumping%22

Make a new thread, post the full terminal output you are getting and post the output of the diagnostic commands that have been requested here (common d'oh, if you installed steam and pressed enter to just get past the prompts you will have installed lib32-amdvlk while you actually want to install lib32-nvidia-utils and remove lib32-amdvlk)

Closing.
