Not sure about this specific issue but whenever I had issues with EA games in the past I would nuke the compatdata for the game and that usually fixed it. Make sure to back up your save file if you do that.
Weirdly, anything after Proton 8 was not able to properly recreate the compatdata folder because of a bug in the script. I fixed the bug and get it to generate the prefix but the issue with the game not launching is still there.
I'll try with Unravel Two, but it's been driving me insane for a long while.
I have reinstalled the games. Does steam preserve compatdata if you uninstall a game?
Yes it is preserved.
It sure doesn't. I had a bunch of beautiful screenshots I took using The Invincible's photo mode. It saved them all to the emulated AppData folder in compatdata. When I was done with the game I uninstalled and went to grab the pics, only to learn I picked the wrong order to do that in :(. This was as of 2 months ago.
Okay, will give it a try. We're talking about SteamLibrary/steamapps/compatdata/ right?
Yes, but only for the specific game ID folder. Do not delete the whole compatdata folder!
I know you wrote "game id" at the end, but it was written inside "<" these, and for some reason that didn't display on Jerboa. I had a horrible vision of someone else having the same issue and following along without seeing that bit.
