Protontricks check failing

[Tuturoopa]

I'm trying the new builds of the world SDK patch and it fails to find the flatpak version of Protontricks on Bazzite. It also doesn't give me the option to manually set the proton install.

On the SDK Setting panel it just says "If proton tricks is installed, the patch will optionally use that to find your proton install" and doesn't give the option to manually set it or anything. And then the debug error that tells me "couldn't get Proton path.. You probobly forgot to set it at: VRChat control panel > Settings > Proton Python File" fires when I try and build.

So not sure if it's like half detecting something or what.

I did try to manually install Protontricks as well via their universal pip installation method on the website and it seems to fail to acknowledge either version of the install.

It does find the compatdata path fine though.

I added a couple of debug.log's to the world script that gives the error and this is what it returns. Not sure if that adds anything useful or not.

Not sure if I missed something obvious along the way or if it's a bazzite issue or what but thought I'd report it! Let me know if you can use any more info.

There should have been an option to select the proton path under the text saying "If proton tricks is installed, the patch will optionally use that to find your proton install"

Was the regular VRChat Client path UI still there?

Could you send a screenshot of what the UI looks like?

This should also get solved by #9, but I haven't had a ton of time to review it as it's rather large

[Tuturoopa]

If you think it'll be fixed with that then that works too and no rush!

This is the UI though, it is missing the option to select it manually weirdly

It was kind of weird, I went back to 0.1.0 just so I could manually set it and that was working fine before but now I got this error just right away (Which I really didn't look into a ton yet either) but with that when I build and test it just wouldn't launch anything.

With that being said though, setting the proton path manually in 0.1.0, and then updating to 0.2.2 seems to keep the assigned proton.

Just with the other new weird issue of it'll load VRChat, load into the world, and then after like 5 seconds of being in the world it'll just close vrchat. Not sure why, if I build and upload the world privately and load it with the same proton in the full game I can run around and explore fine.

Was trying a lot of weird janky things with interesting results

[DeltaNeverUsed]

Ah, I think I found the bug.
Could you try replacing

LinuxVRChatSDKPatch/Packages/befuddledlabs.linuxvrchatsdkpatch.base/Editor/Base.cs

Line 91 in 42e6f37

return savedProtonTricksPrefs;

with

return savedProtonTricksPrefs && HasProtonTricks;

I can't test it myself right now

[Tuturoopa]

Tried it a couple of times and in a new project just to make sure and it doesn't seem to fix it?

It actually changes the debug log I add from the first image set from

useProtonTricks: False ProtonTricksPref: True to useProtonTricks: False ProtonTricksPref: False

[DeltaNeverUsed]

And the option isn't there in the settings panel?

[Tuturoopa]

Oooh my bad I didn't check that. Yeah it is back now! Setting it works now indeed. Which works for me for the moment so!

Now I just have what I assume is similar if not the same as #1 where it just crashes instances sometimes. If I boot up 2 or 3 I tend to end up with 1 running but the other just close their VRChat instance on joining. So I'll poke around that way and try some workarounds indeed later on!

[DeltaNeverUsed]

You could try increasing the time between launching instances

LinuxVRChatSDKPatch/Packages/befuddledlabs.linuxvrchatsdkpatch.worlds/Editor/World.cs

Line 113 in 42e6f37

Thread.Sleep(3000);

This is something the SDK does normally, presumably to fix some race condition, that you may still be hitting?

I still haven't been able to replicate it myself though.

[Tuturoopa]

Yeah, mine seems to be a bit different anywho so I'll look into it more and see what comes from it on my own.

Thanks for the help with the rest though!
