Wemod won't start

[mzigaib]

I was using wemod and it was working until I did a fresh install on my Fedora 41 and I followed all the instructions to install it again I am using Lutris with the prefix command which is kind of working, I can see the terminal launching and the game starts but wemod does not launch as before, any tips?

[mzigaib]

I would really appreciate some help here
I just see this on the shell but wemod for some reason does not start

Thanks!

[marvin1099]

Is this still a issue, it says in the terminal that wemod was found with pid 352,
this suggests it is running in the background,
it may start as a tray service.
try to delete the wemod_data folder,
this will reset the accounts and settings of wemod.
After that it should open (you will have to re-login).
You can also try to delete the WeMod.exe in the folder wemod_bin,
this should re-download wemod and may also fix this.

[mzigaib]

Hey thanks for the feedback
I did what you said about deleting the data folder and the .exe
I still get the same issue where wemod does not launch.
The weird thing is that I am sure that I configure the same way as before when it was working.

Some couple of notes:
If I run through bottles wemod starts but I get other issues with the game like some videos not being able to play error, so maybe it is something to do with my fresh Lutris install?

[marvin1099]

Maybe try other a other wine version.
By default lutris uses the system wine version I think.
I got it to work with wine GE and proton ge.
They can both be downloaded / selected in lutris.

[mzigaib]

Ok I will try that.

[mzigaib]

I still have the same issue
I did try to:
-Re-install Lutris completely
-Delete game pre-fix and wemod.exe
-I tried to use different version of wine on Lutris like wine_ge_8-26,27 and also wine-ge_proton-26

Any other thips?

[marvin1099]

Try a proton version,
should be in lutris,
but steam may have to be installed for proton

[mzigaib]

Ok let me see that.

[mzigaib]

This is what I have on Lutris I tried those installed

[marvin1099]

Try to run:

cd /home/$USER/wemod-launcher
git reset --hard origin
git pull
sudo chmod -R ug+x .

And retry

[mzigaib]

Done but I still got the same issue, I know it is something on my system.

[marvin1099]

Upload the wemod.log right here as a file.
I like to check the output.

[mzigaib]

Sure!
wemod.log

[marvin1099]

This is only supposed to run WeMod.exe not the game, is that working?

[mzigaib]

That is the way I used

[mzigaib]

Running through terminal

[mzigaib]

This is only supposed to run WeMod.exe not the game, is that working?

Sorry, it does not.

[mzigaib]

Through bottles I got it running.
I mean start Wemod not the game.

[marvin1099]

If this won't run Wemod the script can't do it.
Run it in the terminal, not over lutris.

[marvin1099]

This is a terminal but I like you to open a new terminal and just run that in there.
In the one you provided lutris still seems to be running but for the command you do not need to run lutris.

[marvin1099]

Of you are good with using bottels then say so.
I would close this discussion in that case.

[marvin1099]

We can of course also try to solve this.
Just give a quick awnser on if you like to try to fix this or if you are content (then I will close the discussion)

[mzigaib]

I can just start wemod on bottles but I prefer to keep it on lutris, I don't know how to run prefix command there.
I am out now soon as I get back I will try to run the commands directly from the shell which I was not doing it correctly.

[marvin1099]

OK then go ahead and run this in a new terminal window:

WINE="/mnt/DRIVE_D/Lutris" "/home/user/.local/share/lutris/runners/wine/wine-ge-8-26-x86_64/bin/wine" "/home/user/wemod-launcher/wemod_bin/WeMod.exe"

[mzigaib]

This is what I get when I run the command and it got stuck in there:

Maybe a firewall issue?

[marvin1099]

Hmm so there m not a wine expert but let's try a few things.
Firstly download wine, winetricks, winecfg
Some other packages may also help but only know these from the top of my head.
It may help to have these packages globally.

And see if you can then use

WINE="/mnt/DRIVE_D/Lutris" "/home/user/.local/share/lutris/runners/wine/wine-ge-8-26-x86_64/bin/wine" "/home/user/wemod-launcher/wemod_bin/WeMod.exe"

Next there are some lutris settings you can change related to wine you should try to activate them (dxvk for example is in there but I also dont remember all of them, but these can also be downloaded globally).
Try that with the command prefix settings from from the external launcher guide.

If you use wayland that may result in issues, try to run it with x11 or xwayland and see if that works.
If you dont know if you have Wayland of x11 just do a internet search on how to check and a internet search on how to switch to x11 or run apps with xwayland.
I just don't use Wayland so I don't know this you have to figure that out yourself.

[mzigaib]

OK, I have all those installed and this is what I have on my Lustris setted

And I am not using Wayland.

[marvin1099]

That's all I have really, I will go to sleep now.
We can continue tomorrow but I have no idea what is going on. I don't think I can solve this but you can ask me some more stuff then I may stumble on a awnser, but tomorrow as I was saying I will go to sleep now.

[marvin1099]

I can recommend the wiki there are some issue resolving steps but I made the wiki so your luck may run out soon but you can try.
The full guide and the help pages may have something that will help you.

[mzigaib]

Off course man!
Thank you very much for you time and patience I really appreciate it.
Well, let me know if you happen to have any more ideas.
Have a good rest.

[mzigaib]

Hey me again,
I was hoping to get it working on bottles but I am getting some errors from Wemod.
Here is what I did

I create a bottle with a preset "Gaming" and set the "Launch options" exactly how the instructions point with the "Wemod dir" %command%

But I am getting this error on Wemod start on the log

The script wemod-launcher is running on version 1.509
No updates available
The subsplit args list is 1 long and the full contents are:
[['/usr/bin/wine64', '/mnt/Seagate_10T/Hydra/Nioh 2 Complete Edition v.1.28.00 (2021)/Nioh 2 Complete Edition/nioh2.exe']]
ERR:
list index out of range

Any tips?

[marvin1099]

Try this;

WINEPREFIX=$YOUR-WINE-PREFIX-FOLDER-HERE WINE=$YOUR/WINE/PATH /home/$USER/Apps/Games/wemod-launcher/wemod $PATH/TO/GAME/EXE

bottles and lutris du not support "%command%".
That is a steam thing.
If you had "%command%" in your lutris start that must be replaced by the game path.
I that case you can retry lutris.
For bottles works basically the same.

[marvin1099]

Replace all the paths to the correct paths
All of the paths are placeholders or incorrect.

[marvin1099]

Not that I read this in lutris you dont need the to add the game path to the pree command.
Not shure what you tryed but the setup of lutris is described here
https://github.com/DeckCheatz/wemod-launcher/wiki/Using-External-Launchers
If you like to retry that.
Always make shure the game can run without wemod before adding the wemod starter lines.

[mzigaib]

That is the way it was working before I made a fresh re-install of the system but now it is not and I don´t know why.
But thanks for the tip.

[mzigaib]

Got it!
I will try soon as I can!
Thanks man!
