Empyrion - Galactic Survival (383120) #2819
Comments
The issue is the launcher, EAC won't work most likely, but you can play the game by bypassing the launcher. I did it by doing the following (creating a custom launch script), mainly to avoid having to do it each update: Create a .bat file (I named it EmpyrionLauncher) in the same directory as your installation of Empyrion. It should look like the following:
After this, you'll want to create an exe out of the bat script named EmpyrionLauncher.exe (replacing the one that's already there). Once you do this, you should be able to play the game from Steam. You may also be able to use the .bat as a replacement for the .exe but I haven't tried that. |
@d10sfan wait so how do I create an exe file from a bat script? I searched, but only found conversion scripts/algorithms for windows and not linux. Also, steam doesn't like the bat file as it is; it has to be made into an exe. |
@d10sfan So after switching to windows and following these instructions, I got an exe, but upon clicking "Play", the bubble initially showed itself with the "Play game as soon as it's ready" checkbox and the progress bar as if it were downloading, then those vanished, leaving the "Play game" button, and clicking that yielded the same result as before. After running |
For the replacement part, can't speak to that other than you might want to rename the executable you're replacing, so it's still in the folder, and then try that again. |
@d10sfan It just isn't working. I tried it again, this time recording everything I did, and it resulted in the initial problem. Edit: I only now just understood what you meant by that... But still, doing that changed nothing. |
You may want to try some of the things listed in these thread then: https://steamcommunity.com/app/383120/discussions/0/485622866440607945/?ctp=14 |
So I followed the instructions of comment #198 (adding a link to Empyrion.exe in Steam), and it worked! Thanks for your help! Here are some observations I thought I'd compile together when comparing this linux workaround running at maximum settings (not the "Best" preset) to the Windows installation:

With the recent Unity2019 update for this game, it no longer works in proton. (yet tested in lutris). Tested with/without dotnet472/vcrun2015 installed, tested launcher and direct empyrion.exe. Perhaps re-open this issue. |
Nothing's changed for me. It doesn't work out of the box, and it can be run by creating a shortcut to Empyrion.exe, setting the target again in the shortcut's properties, and forcing the use of proton. |
Yeah that doesn't work any longer for me. Maybe there is something wrong in my kernel or nvidia driver 430.26-6 |
I tried recreating the shortcut to give the benefit of the doubt, and it still works with the latest version of the game. I found that using proton 4.11-1 doesn't work, but 4.2-9 does. |
Ahh so its a bug in 4.11-1, then this should be reopened and maybe top post updated to reflect the issue. Not even the custom 4.11-GE version of proton works. Well, another regression for 4.11 it seems.... |
Definitely a problem with 4.11; just tried the other versions and they work with the shortcut. |
Hello @aorozsa, @jarrard, can one of you please add |
@kisak-valve I tried gathering logs for both running the game normally and running it through the shortcut, but I couldn't get the shortcut logs. There's other stuff already there, so I tried adding the above property before ( Log for trying to run the game normally (doesn't work regardless of proton version, but running via shortcut only doesn't work using 4.11): Window that previously didn't appear when attempting to run via shortcut using 4.11: |
Thanks, looks like you hit ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux#6046. Perhaps you can get a Proton log for the non-steam game shortcut by copying user_settings.example.py to user_settings.py as mentioned in https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton#runtime-config-options. |
@kisak-valve That worked! Here are two logs for the shortcut. I added the version number near the end of the file name. |
Compatibility Report
System Information
I confirm:
steam-383120.log
Symptoms
It just doesn't work. After clicking "Play" and the initial window goes away, my name text turns green for three seconds, then back to blue.
Reproduction
Trying to run the game.
A lot of people say EAC is the problem, but I don't think that's true since a clean install of the game on Windows (on the exact same machine (I have a dual-boot setup)) has it disabled by default.
