Steam Runtime could not be found.

When trying to launch Absolute Drift with the Steam Runtime option enabled it says:

Launch aborted
Error:
Steam Runtime is enabled, but no runtimes could be found
Make sure Steam and the "SteamLinuxRuntime - Soldier" are installed

Launch aborted
Error:

I have Steam installed and have 2 shortcuts for it: *Steam (Runtime) *Steam Linux Runtime - Sniper How do I make Heroic Games Launcher use the Steam Runtime installed on my computer?

vicious-gold•3y ago

what about the second question then - why aren't you using Wine-GE?

wise-whiteOP•3y ago

because I don't know how I was was going to create a separate post for Shadow Tactics not getting passed the loading screen, but this post was meant to learn how to setup heroic launcher and Steam Runtime properly, such that they can work together

You really shouldn’t be using Proton, especially Experimental, in Heroic Install Wine-GE-latest from Heroic’s Wine Manager
