Neverwinter Nights 2 not launching

Yesterday, Neverwinter Nights 2 Complete stopped launching all of a sudden. I've tried with a new prefix, a different compatibility layer and a reinstall of my OS (Nobara 42), but nothing seems to help. I've also tried downgrading the game to a previous version, as there was a recent patch. Didn't help either. Please get in touch with me, if you have questions or suggestions...

When playing GTA5 Enhanced, I encountered problems configuring DirectX 12. 游玩GTA5增强版在配置 DX12 遇到问题。

I configured the paid version of CrossOver to run GTA5E according to the tutorial, and enabled the D3DMetal and ESyne options for the target container. I added the Fake EPIC TURE parameter. I also downloaded GPTK3 Beta from Apple's developer website and used it in CrossOver. But GTA5E still prompts me that I don't have DirectX 12. I don't know where the problem is. I hope someone can help me take a look. Thank you very much. 我根据教程配置了用付费版CrossOver来运行GTA5E,并且为目标容器启用了D3DMetal和ESyne选项。添加了Fake EPIC TURE参数。我额外在Apple的开发者网站下载了GPTK3 Beta,并替换到CrossOver来使用。但GTA5E依旧提示我没有DirectX 12,我不知道在哪个环节出现了问题。希望能有大佬帮忙看看,万分感谢。...

Fallout 1 worked but then stopped launching the next day...related to DXVK 2.5.3 and above

The game installed successfully a few days ago (7/8/25) and I played it for multiple hours that day. Then it mysteriously stopped launching the next day - I'd click the launch button but the fallout game menu wouldn't even load. I've attached the log file with verbose logging enabled. I had the 'auto install dxvk' option enabled. I believe this was the issue. In the attached log it shows DXVK is at version 2.7. I have no idea what version it was at when the game was initially installed and was working. Using winetricks I set it to use DXVK 2.5.2 and the game works again (I had tried 2.5.3 but it didn't work with that version.) I was assuming the main problem in the log file was this:...

Clicking 'play' in steam doesn't launch the game?

Hey! I'm trying to launch a game through steam, but I keep coming across an issue. Whenever I hit the 'play' button on the game within steam, it says that it's running for about fifteen seconds, then the button turns back to the green 'play' one and it doesn't open. I don't hear any music or see any screens open up. https://0x0.st/8D4W.log...
Solution:
I am a little confused you say "the problem is that Steam isn't running," but you describe the issue like steam is running just not launching games. Secondly try changing the setting in setting, like turning off esync or msync or DVXK or on if their off. Or changing Wine from crossover to GPTK and seeing if CS 2 runs. There might not be a setting that will work for every game, so you might need to change setting now and again. There was over with Whisky.app ( now defunked) a setting for CS2 that might still work now, not harm in trying. Hope this helps....

Super Meat Boy Audio Issues

I recently got my Steam Deck and was excited to jump into Super Meat Boy, but I’ve noticed that the audio occasionally becomes distorted and unusually high-pitched without any clear trigger. I’ve attached my log file in case it helps with troubleshooting.

genshin impact not launching on steam deck Gaming Mode

it launches just fine in desktop mode but i cant get past the launcher in gaming mode 1: i've tried adding it to steam through heroic and then launching it like that which opens the launcher but then doesnt do anything after i launch the game (black screen forever) 2: i've also tried adding heroic to steam then launching it through there, the launcher still works but opening the game just minimizes the launcher and loads forever (heroic still says the game is open so it's not crashing) i can get past the launcher "just fine" on desktop mode (cant close the game without it freezing my screen tho)...

Fall guys not showing in Heroic on steam deck

As the title describes, Epic Games Stores item page is showing I've purchased Fall Guys (don't know when, must have been ages ago) but it's not showing in heroic, when other games are. What can I do to check?
Solution:
go to settings > logs > legendary/epic, it should show the list of games it detects in your account or an error message, or something

Unable to launch Genshin Impact

After successfully installing the whole game through the launcher, I am unable to launch it properly. It seems to have been a matter of luck whether after hitting the play game button in genshin impact's launcher will actually launch the game or not. And since now, I have tried using the fixing feature both in the launcher and in heroic, changing proton version, reseting cache and nothing seems to work
