Launching Substance Painter Through Steam?

Hi,

I’m trying to launch Substance Painter at the moment through Steam. I’m not getting any meaningful (to me) error wise so I’m not sure how to troubleshoot.

Game Recording - would start recording game 2718190, but recording for this game is disabled

Has anyone had any success launching Substance Painter on Rocky at all? If so did you hit these errors? How did you solve them?

Thanks

What is “Steam” and what is “Substance Painter”?

The error appears to be a wine call to a Windows DLL that is part of Visual Studio Redist.

Really easy enough to find with Google. Steam for Linux allows you to play games, etc, wine-based, Substance Painter is by Adobe so a graphics app of some sort. So proprietary software that may or may not work on wine.

So, I’ve had this work on Linux Mint through steams Proton integration. I think I had it working on an initial Rocky installation but for some reason after I’ve re-installed it won’t launch.

If I was able to run it on Mint through Proton should it also work on Rocky? I’m fairly clueless about these kinds of things so I’m not sure what should or shouldn’t be possible. Is it at all possible to work out how to troubleshoot this behaviour?

sudo ausearch -c 'wineboot.exe' --raw | audit2allow -M my-winebootexe

semodule -X 300 -i my-winebootexe.pp

I ran the above commands and now I at least see the splash screen…

However, is running those commands bad? I noticed a SeLinux error and it told me to run those. But I don’t know if that’s dangerous or not…

Well if you want to allow something to run, you have to run the selinux commands to allow it. So yeah it’s OK. Obviously you wouldn’t want to do that with an untrusted program though.
