Cuphead on Ubuntu 24 with ProtonGE Latest

Attempt to launch through Heroic Launcher, the game opens and immediately closes
Solution:
flatpak update should have some updates (specifically org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.nvidia-575-64-03 and its 32-bit counterpart). Install those

[GTA V] Failed to initialize DirectX12 adapter.

After launching the steam version of GTA V on Crossover (not Heroic), I installed the Rockstar Games Launcher as normal, but after that, this prompt came up (Images provided). Before installing steam on Crossover, I used CXPatcher to patch certain features on crossover (mainly graphics settings). Also, in the Crossover Steam bottle made for me, in the advanced settings tab on the right, my Graphics is set to 'D3DMetal', my Synchronization is set to 'MSync', and High Resolution Mode is OFF as default. Maybe I should set the Graphics to DXVK? The options for Graphics include: 'Auto', 'D3DMetal', 'DXMT', 'DXVK', 'Wine'....

Question

Will the Verify and Repair option in Epic Games automatically download the required data, or will it notify me first?

cant download game, Heroic thinks that the games files are saved locally already

For example when I try to download Battlefront 2 there is no option showing how much space it will take up in my storage device it just instructs me to install the game, where for others it indicates the necessary storage space to download it and when I click install it begins to download the game

DEFCON SDL Failed to Initialise

Heroic logs Almost immediately after pressing play in Heroic or using the start.sh script in the game directory, the program terminates and gives the error Couldn't initialise SDL with not much extra information. I feel like it could be something to do with the program using SDL1.2 and my system having SDL3 but even with the sdl2-compat and sdl12-compat packages installed it still gives the same error...
Solution:
You're usually better off running the Windows version of GOG games through Wine. Most Linux versions are ancient and don't work on modern systems

Selecting "Beta Unstable" channel for Project Zomboid

When trying to install Project Zomboid through Heroic, it will only install the default version. However, if I want to play the "Beta Unstable" version of the game, I'd either have to manually install the game or install the Windows version, where I can select the "Unstable" channel. Is support for this planned? Thank you in advance.

Shadow of Chernobyl EE bugged cutscenes

I own the game(s) through GOG and installed them on both Lutris and Heroic. Tried a variety of wine package and used 'proton-cachyos' with "STEAM_DECK=1" environment variable, but I am at my wits end. I also tried the SoC EE cutscenes mod on NexusMods, yet the cutscene aren't loading. Nothing seems to work, and I never played S.T.A.L.K.E.R. before, would like to have a seamless experience....
Solution:
Refund and buy from Steam.

Game progress being lost

I just started using Heroic as before I just used Whiskey but didn't like it's lack of UI, so I switched but I had some windows games from websites like itch on Whisky and of course added most of them, but when I opened them from the launcher some of the games kept my progress while others lost all of it. I very confused and just want to know why this may of happened and how to fix it.

Unable to launch Shadow Warrior 2 with GOG.

When I launch the game normally (with gog integration) the window pops up for a second then crashes with the following errors. I've also tried launching it with gamemode off, it still crashes. However when I launch it directly through .exe it runs perfectly in single player. However the multiplayer will not work. ...
