Troubleshooting

Shared caveats and known issues are kept at the repository root: known issues.

@Megalomaniak - heroic has an option to use the steam runtime, you can toggle it off on the settings

I had tried toggling umu and steam runtime before without success but I guess the specific combo of both off was needed? Works now.

I reinstalled the game in both Bottles flatpak and lutris, with dw-proton latest (older versions as well) and for some reason the game always gets stuck at the loading screen in the 2/2 message sync at 50% idk why. I also have an older installation of the game on lutris that works but i can't see any videos in the game, like the opening screen with rapi or the gacha videos are all black, also cutscenes don't work and i often get the illegal software warning that closes the game. I tried to do all the things in the issue page but nothing works. If you guys have any advice please tell me cause idk what to do anymore.
My system is:

• Linux: Cachy-os
• CPU: intel i5-7500
• GPU: GTX 1660ti

@TheAlex63 From my experience, this seems to happen when running an installed instance of the game (with all the content downloaded) from a new wine prefix. It's not really stuck, it just has a disk usage which could take up to an hour to finish.
If you have to have to original prefix which you've installed the game from you can migrate the "C:\Users%USERNAME%\AppData\LocalLow" the 2 directories: "com.proximabeta" and "com_proximabeta" which will prevent this issue.
