Moonlighter requires a dotnet version installed via winetricks. On phone so cant look it up Might have a redistributables folder you can check in there Ah not dotnet, vcrun2019

If you jumped prefixes a bunch id suggest deleting them and starting over (not deleting the game)

Click on the game in the list, and click on "Report a problem" at the bottom.

@Allora sorry to insist. What else can I do? I installed vcrun2019 and I still get a black screen. I can try to delete the prefixes again. Is there anything else I should try?

I see this in the logs 00c8:err:module:import_dll Library mfc140u.dll (which is needed by L"Z:\\home\\lrobino\\Games\\Heroic\\Moonlighter\\Moonlighter_Data\\Plugins\\UnityNativeChromaSDK.dll") not found , it looks like vcrun2019 was not installed properly if those files are missing

I tend to not trust Winetricks, so you might want to manually download the installer from https://aka.ms/vs/16/release/vc_redist.x64.exe and run it with "Run EXE on Prefix"

for some reason that didn't worked before and now it worked! Un fortunatly I think my cloud save files got corrupted but it's not that bad I guess. Thanks everyone for the help and tell me if I need to close the thread

sometimes heroic gets the save dir wrong, you can sometimes force it to regrab whats on the cloud save on games that support it once you correct the save path

it must be that but for some reason I cannot find the correct path

the best place to find save folders is pcgamingwiki https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Moonlighter#Save_game_data_location check the one for Windows there
