Overwatch Game Initialization Failed: F

[Mursy]

I am new to the Linux field of os' and this is probably the dumbest reason I am making a forum but taking Linus Media Groups' inspiration with the gaming on linux, it has been in the back of my head since then. Ok to the point now. I have a problem with Overwatch from my windows install of windows where i also keep my steam files, (not in the same file actually but same disk) but every time i try to run overwatch after the battle.net launcher has found it i cant run overwatch and I keep getting the Initialization error F.

 

Like I said I new to linux and the lower tier of coding it has so don't laugh to much if its a really simple line I have to enter or if its a depositor overwatch needs with wine.

Read the comment and issue sections of the from overwatches page and see if others are having the same issue you describe. 

 

Did you install all the necessary prerequisite like vulkan, wine, and graphics drivers?

Yeah I do have all the drivers downloaded and everything i can play csgo just fine but overwatch gives me issues same with Rust. When i try to open it in lutris it spits out "[Errno 2]No such file or directory: '/home/mike/.local/share/lutris/runtime/dxvk/1.1.4/x64/dxgi.dll'->'/home/mike/games/overwatch/drive_c/windows/system32/dxgi.dll'". Is this a problem with wine or something else.

Well, csgo is native Linux game and officially supported on Linux by valve. Lutris is using WINE and hacks to get it up and running. 

 

Reinstall the game. Seems like lutris script did not install the game properly.
