Note that if you're on an Ubuntu 22 LTS release (and probably others), this fails at multiple steps because it's using wine 6 instead of 8 and a very old version of winetricks.

I followed these instructions for wine 8. https://sourcedigit.com/27642-wine-8-0-stable-install-wine-8-0-ubuntu-22-10-22-04/ I downloaded winetricks from here https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Winetricks/winetricks/master/src/winetricks

Now working fine!

@AlithiaGM
Have the same issue since today's update. There is an error popping up in game, that ascension.dll failed to load. Tried everything described here - but no luck so far.

And it looks like the file is not touched by the Ascension launcher in any way. I renamed the file to ".dll_OLD" to test if it will be re-created or downloaded again. But no. Nothing happens even when you repair or re-install the launcher.

Please help.

Update

After 2 hours of ducking with the client in all possible combinations: just took the whole Ascension client folder from my wife... and it's working now. She has the same Windows version as me.
So, the problem is not in PC configuration or firewall/antivirus rules, but in the client itself. I also pasted all my backed up folders "Cache", "WTF", "Interface" win all the addons inside.. no issues so far.

I've had the same issue. I have done what was said in this post. Still having the same issue. I have reinstalled many times. I have turned off all firewall and anti-virus. I have completely reinstalled windows 10 pro, completed all updates (including nvidia drivers) did a fresh install of ascension and did all the previous mentioned as well. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

(Edit: I've now managed to get the game working on Lutris directly from the ascension.exe, pointing at the same wine prefix folder as gets created during the install instructions at https://ascension.gg/download/unix, but hitting Play Now from the launcher still throws the same error when I run it outside of Lutris)

Hi!

Was working fine this morning until I had a mesa update, which resulted in pressing 'Play Now' in the launcher not launching the game.

After much fuss and re-installing the mesa drivers, now the game throws this error in the console:

Hi, I tried on M1 Pro 14, tried in parallel 18 and 19.
and I'm getting

How you managed to fix that issue/ How should I set the parallel?
Or what I need to do 😄
