Download VCRuntime from https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe, install it using "Run EXE on Prefix" (in the game settings)

CommandMC•1/4/23, 10:24 PM

If this does not end up working, you might have to use the latest version of Wine-GE instead:

Assuming you don't have it downloaded already, head over to the Wine Manager, download "Wine-GE-Proton7-35"
Head over to the game settings, select Wine-GE in the Wine Version dropdown
Delete this folder: /home/deck/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/Moonlighter/home/deck/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/Moonlighter

do i use the vcruntime with proton or WineGe

CommandMC•1/4/23, 10:35 PM

Yes (both)

CommandMC•1/4/23, 10:36 PM

I've tested it with Wine-GE. It should also work with Proton, although Proton is strange with its compatibility sometimes. So if installing it does not lead to the game working, you should switch to Wine-GE instead (and then re-install VCRuntime)

hey i just tried using the vcrun time with proton and when it has a black screen it makes it compeltly frozen is that normal?

primary-violetOP•1/4/23, 10:43 PM

Open up a terminal & run flatpak install --reinstall com.heroicgameslauncher.hglflatpak install --reinstall com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl
(this is also covered in the FAQ)

primary-violetOP•1/4/23, 11:12 PM

how do i open up terminal? I just got this today so I don't really know how to use linux

CommandMC•1/4/23, 11:13 PM

Head over to Desktop Mode if you're not in there already, search for "Konsole" in the start menu

primary-violetOP•1/4/23, 11:15 PM

how do i run it? I pasted the flatpak install --reinstall com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl onto the konsole

CommandMC•1/4/23, 11:15 PM

Enter runs what you typed in

primary-violetOP•1/4/23, 11:16 PM

primary-violetOP•1/4/23, 11:17 PM

is this is what supposed to happen

CommandMC•1/4/23, 11:17 PM

Yes, that's exactly what's supposed to happen

CommandMC•1/4/23, 11:17 PM

Now just give it a bit until that's done

primary-violetOP•1/4/23, 11:17 PM

it just finished

CommandMC•1/4/23, 11:17 PM

Right, now try to launch the game again

CommandMC•1/4/23, 11:17 PM

(Actually might have to restart Heroic first)

primary-violetOP•1/4/23, 11:18 PM

do i restart everything or just heroic

CommandMC•1/4/23, 11:18 PM

Just Heroic

primary-violetOP•1/4/23, 11:19 PM

primary-violetOP•1/4/23, 11:19 PM

is this is what supposed to happen

CommandMC•1/4/23, 11:19 PM

"Install"

VViet is this is what supposed to happen

CommandMC•1/4/23, 11:19 PM

Since this is the first time you run Wine: Yes

CCommandMC Download VCRuntime from https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe, install ...

CommandMC•1/4/23, 11:21 PM

Note that you'll have to do this after launching the game with Wine-GE for the first time

primary-violetOP•1/4/23, 11:22 PM

do i have to do that again?

primary-violetOP•1/4/23, 11:23 PM

cause i didn't do that and it became a black screen again

CommandMC•1/4/23, 11:23 PM

You'll have to re-install it now that you're using Wine-GE, yes

CommandMC•1/4/23, 11:23 PM

To put it briefly, Wine and Proton store data like this in a different way, making changes you do with one not apply for the other

primary-violetOP•1/4/23, 11:27 PM

i do this right

CommandMC•1/4/23, 11:28 PM

Yup

primary-violetOP•1/4/23, 11:28 PM

primary-violetOP•1/4/23, 11:29 PM

this is the prefix is that right

primary-violetOP•1/4/23, 11:29 PM

folder

CommandMC•1/4/23, 11:30 PM

Yup that'll get created once you select the executable

primary-violetOP•1/4/23, 11:42 PM

uh so I did everything. It managed to launch where I got into the screen and all the graphics were there. But the controls didn't work. So I decided to relaunch the application and it now its stuck on a black screen again

here the log file

CommandMC•1/4/23, 11:54 PM

"winePrefix": "/home/deck/.wine" "winePrefix": "/home/deck/.wine"
That doesn't look right

CommandMC•1/4/23, 11:55 PM

Should be set to /home/deck/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/Moonlighter/home/deck/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/Moonlighter by default (and was set to that in the last few logs)

primary-violetOP•1/4/23, 11:55 PM

so what do i do?

CommandMC•1/4/23, 11:56 PM

Well, set it back to that path

primary-violetOP•1/4/23, 11:58 PM

primary-violetOP•1/4/23, 11:58 PM
