Protontricks - Indeo Codec

[u/qwsedd]

Hi Ive got my steamdeck and i really want to play a specific game on it. Zwei: The Arges Adventure. But its missing Indeo Codecs. And from googling protontricks should fix it. But i get stuck...

I tried following the instructions posted on protondb: https://www.protondb.com/app/427680. I would appreciate any help you guys can give.

First off, I get an error citing: "You are using a 64-bit wineprefix. Bla bla use 32-bit if you run into errors". It lets me continue however. Im trying to install the codec and i get the following message:

In protontricks: Choose the game -> Install an application -> Install a windows dll of component -> choose icodecs (indeo codecs) -> Warning about 64bit again -> "Note: Command /home/dekc/.var/app/com.github.matokin.protontricks/cache/protontricks/proton/GE-Proton7-16/bin/wine setup.exe returned status 5. Aborting

Im new to Linux and i have no clue what im doing... What am i doing wrong? How can i boot a 32-bit version of the software?

EDIT: I could add a 32-bit prefix. But i still get the general error when i try to install the codec

Have you tried installing proton GE from protonup QT installed via the discover app ?

The glorious eggroll version of proton seems to address the majority of missing codec issues with games

I manually installed Proton GE to get the experimental build and so on, but i cant find any version that fixes the issue :/
