Explanation

mhyprot2.sys is a kernel service which is and will not be supported by Wine. Problem: it's used as cheat detection.

Possible solutions:

• Wine + patched game (what this project does)
• Use a slow Windows VM or dual-boot
• Wait for an official Linux build
• Wait for kernel service support in Wine
• Play another game. Format: link, caveats (Proton/Wine rating)
  • Blue Protocol unreleased, 2021/22 (N/A)
  • Little Witch Nobeta singleplayer (Gold)
  • Ashen ~$40 (Platinum)
  • Tower Hunter: Erza's Trial singleplayer (Platinum)
  • Haven PEGI 18 (N/A, too new)
  • Valheim unreleased, no story (Native)
  • Pine no story, singleplayer (Native)

Project rules

1. miHoYo reserves the right to distribute files. Please do not share any game data in public.
2. For your own sake: Do not share this project in official channels.
   • Reduces the risk of this project to be taken down or used against our reverse-engineering efforts
   • Solution: Share the files required by the patch script (see GAMEVER/README.txt)
3. Please do not abuse this project for cheating. We just want to play the game.

Beware that your log files may contain personal information, such as MAC addresses or login data.

Applying the workaround

Apply the patch(.sh) as follows. You will need Wine 5.3 or newer.

# Download/clone the repository
git clone https://notabug.org/Krock/GI-on-Linux --depth 1

cd "/path/to/Genshin Impact Game"
bash "/path/to/GI-on-Linux/GAMEVER/patch.sh"
# Additional patch for 1.2.0
bash "/path/to/GI-on-Linux/GAMEVER/patch_anti_logincrash.sh"

# Please run "launcher.bat" to start the game
wine cmd /c launcher.bat

Follow the script as instructed. Backups (.bak) are made automatically where needed.

Please do not report any game issues to an official channel. Your options are:

• Troubleshooting page for common issues and solutions
• Create a new issue here. See also: closed/solved issues
• Post your problem on a Wine/dxvk-specific page

Undo: The patch can be reverted using patch_revert.sh in the same manner.

Chinese variant: As of 1.2.0, not supported due to missing information. However, there is a prototype patch available.
