Hello @radriaanse, err:steamclient:create_win_interface Don't recognize interface name: SteamUtils010 looks like a line of interest from the log.

Hi @kisak-valve, found a thread over on steam that states it should work with proton-tkg 5.18.r3.g9acfa3b8.
FWIW I tested it and this seems to be the case, I can run the game without any problems after using the other runtime.

Is there any logging I can share that might explain the difference between these two version?

From what I've seen, the only people that seem to be able to get the proton-tkg fix working are Arch users (from this reddit thread, one success on arch and 3 failures on Ubuntu/PopOS).

I'm using PopOS myself, and the proton-tkg fix isn't working (in fact it's slightly worse: with 5.09 I'll at least get a short-lived black screen but with this no window opens at all).

I'll try compiling proton-tkg on my machine and report back

Failure logs with proton-tkg and with proton 5.0.9

Not sure what command @radriaanse used to generate his system info (if you tell me I'll use it), but I'm on PopOS 20.04, 1050Ti mobile, nvidia drivers 440.100

@anlsh Some enterprising folks have posted a guide to getting this to work in Ubuntu 20.04 - https://steamcommunity.com/app/418530/discussions/0/2930112548420911027/

It is not for the faint of heart.

@Nightmaresiege Thanks for the reference! I've gotten things to work with their process using some slight modifications for PopOS (detailed in the thread)

EDIT: I've also uploaded my binaries here https://github.com/anlsh/wine-tkg-git/releases/tag/5.18.r3.g9acfa3b8. They've worked for at least one other person so far

[radriaanse]

@anlsh I'm indeed using Arch so I had no issues there, the system info comes from Steam itself: Help -> System information

[DrWursterich]

There is also a precompiled version for Ubuntu: https://github.com/pgroudas/wine-tkg-git/releases/tag/5.18.r3.g9acfa3b8
Worked for me out of the box.

After the game was updated, the game still doesn't launch, I no longer get a shortlived black screen, and I still get the "Warning: Windows version not supported [Ok]" window. This window was always a common symptom: https://www.protondb.com/app/418530

[mozo78]

It runs out-of-the-box with Wine 5.18 set to Windows 10. If the prefix is set to Win 7 the game still runs but "Windows version not supported" message appears at start.

@fartsniffer104 See one of the developers' posts here: I'm guessing it will require the devs to update the game to fix whatever bug exists on their side.

On the plus side, it seems the bug affects some windows users too, so I'm guessing a fix will come out eventually

Running Spelunky 2 in a wine prefix with regular Steam for Windows installed, unlocking achievements works.

When Steam is installed in the prefix, starting Spel2.exe will actually start Steam (in wine) first. I believe that might be the reason why it fails in proton, the steam.exe that is running there might not behave 100% the same as Steam for Windows (e.g. it can't download and start games as it's only a bridge to the Linux Steam to trigger achievements and such.

Following @moben approach I could unlock some achievements. Good job mate!

Hello. The Proton 5.13 release should fix achievements and other Steam client integration for Spelunky 2.
