Delete the prefix and run it again. Things probably got messed up in the transition between versions earlier

old-apricotOP•3y ago

same issue, it appears to be something i have not configured correctly in my wine installation

crude-lavender•3y ago

make sure you have all wine dependencies, check the pinned Read Me First thread at #🆘-support

old-apricotOP•3y ago

does this happen on the flatpak version of heroic launcher? because i dedicated several hours without success to make non-proton wine work

harsh-harlequin•3y ago

No There's a whole article that you can just copy paste from, I don't have the link rn as I'm on mobile

can't find anything for gentoo like, I acknowledge wine was working fine and stopped at some point and know, even re emerging it I get this same error in any wine app

complex-teal•3y ago

Heroic - Settings - Winetricks - have you tried to create new prefix? https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Wine https://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#How_do_I_wipe_the_virtual_Windows_installation.3F

Wine

old-apricotOP•3y ago

I deleted the ~/.wine folder to set it to default and ran winecfg but it hangs here is the log of winecfg hanging https://dpaste.com/3GVGDMA3F second time I try to run it doesnt even log anything

complex-teal•3y ago

Any other games work? Flatpak version 2.7.0?

old-apricotOP•3y ago

I tried flatpak and still getting the same kernel32 error And it happens in any application, so I guess heroic has nothing to do with this

complex-teal•3y ago

Gentoo is like a different language to me 🙂 will probably need someone else to help with fixing your Wine / Config

old-apricotOP•3y ago

alright, thanks for the support though

harsh-harlequin•3y ago

are you new to linux in any way? (if you are you shouldn't be using gentoo) even me I wouldn't use gentoo and I have been using linux for a few years anyways I would try figuring out how to configure multilib/multiarch on gentoo and install the basic multiarch things like lib32-glibc for example

old-apricotOP•3y ago

Im starting to suspect it doesnt have to do with my multilib setup for some reason wine runs perfectly fine when sudoing I tried to copy the root prefix to my user and changing ownership but no success Finally found out why I use fish as the user shell and for some reason breaks the creation of the wine prefix Work around it by running heroic with bash, delete the prefix and let heroic's winecfg create it
