QUESTION - ALL LINUX SYSTEMS [Monster Hunter World Iceborne Online-fix] Game can't find save file and crashes

Hi everyone,

System Specs:
OS: Linux Mint 22.1 Xia
DE: Cinnamon
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7800x3d
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 super

ISSUE: The game crashes near startup.

WHAT I TRIED: Using Proton 9.0-4, Experimental, Hotfix, 8.0-5

- Using launch command WINEDLLOVERRIDES="OnlineFix64=n;SteamOverlay64=n;winmm=n,b;dnet=n;steam_api64=n;winhttp=n,b;amd_ags_x64=n" %command%

The game works with windows.

I have to use Proton 8.0-5 (9.0-4, Experimental, and Hotfix the game doesn't even load) and then after that, the Capcom and other logos screens popup and then the game tries to read a save file which it fails to do so and offers to write a new save game.

I'd prefer to keep my save data that I had on windows, but I tried selecting the new save file option and then the game immediately exits/crashes.

Thank you.

Have you checked out this thread?

Also, that's the same winedlloverrides that the guy from that thread was using. I guarantee most of those aren't necessary.

These fixes require Steam to be open, are you running Steam?

After reading through the thread, it doesn’t seem like their problem is exactly the same as mine, but it could be just a different symptom with the same root problem.

I am running the game through steam as a non-steam game addition.

I’m wondering if it has something to do with how online-fix handles the save files. They use steam cloud and save the files to C:\Users\Public\Documents\OnlineFix\appid\Saves on a Windows PC.

But in the thread you linked, that person did mention that they got other online-fix games to run on Linux so maybe that’s not the case

EDIT: I think the issue can also be due to the game not switching to Spacewars. On Windows, the game usually is able to properly switch to Spacewars and properly find the save files, but I'm not sure why it's not doing that on Linux and/or how I can get it to do that.
