So installing the Wine dependencies went well but I've got the following error for gpu drivers: E: The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/kisak/kisak-mesa/ubuntu mantic Release' does not have a Release file. N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default. N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details. W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net/graphics-drivers/ppa/ubuntu mantic InRelease: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY FCAE110B1118213C E: The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/graphics-drivers/ppa/ubuntu mantic InRelease' is not signed. N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default. N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details. Could you help me overcome this?

Oh, you're on Debian. Why are you on Debian? No idea how those work then, not exactly an ideal distro for gaming

I'm going on a long trip and only my chromebook will be available which has a Debian environment

Right, a Chromebook, should've seen that coming Well, first remove those PPAs:
sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:kisak/kisak-mesa
sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:kisak/kisak-mesa
sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
And now install the drivers from Debian's repos (and pray to god they're at least somewhat up-to-date):
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade && sudo apt install libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 mesa-vulkan-drivers mesa-vulkan-drivers:i386
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade && sudo apt install libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 mesa-vulkan-drivers mesa-vulkan-drivers:i386

Thank you for being so resourceful! I've managed to run these commands without any errors But the game seems to be behaving in the same way May I send in a new log to see of there is any progress?

Yup, a new log would probably give some details

https://paste.debian.net/1283542 Here it is! I've now changed the Wine to the debian version in the game settings It's opened a dialogue box saying "no compatible graphics device found. Please ensure that your system has a correctly configured, compatible graphics device" I've tried setting the exe to LaunchPad.exe instead of the CivilizationVI.exe and it gave quite a big backtrace.txt file, but in the end it gave the same error as above

Hm, strange, the error message is the exact same as before. You have installed the Wine Dependencies linked above, right? What exactly was the output of running the install command? Deleting your Wineprefix (/home/hjuz04/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/default/Sid Meiers Civilization VI) might also help

I have installed them once again, the output was: wine64 is already the newest version (5.0.3-3). libasound2-plugins:i386 is already the newest version (1.2.2-2). libdbus-1-3:i386 is already the newest version (1.12.24-0+deb11u1). libsdl2-2.0-0:i386 is already the newest version (2.0.14+dfsg2-3+deb11u1). libsqlite3-0:i386 is already the newest version (3.34.1-3). wine32:i386 is already the newest version (5.0.3-3). 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. After a dumb mistake I've reinstalled Heroic and the game too. Furthermore I've installed the wine dependencies and the drivers, currently this is the log the game produces: https://paste.debian.net/1283659/

Wine Default - wine-5.0.3 (Debian 5.0.3-3) this is too old, use wine-ge (you can install that from the Wine Manager section inside heroic)

If I were to guess, Wine-GE will throw that "Failed to load kernel32.dll" error again DXVK is also not detecting any GPUs, so seems like you'd need newer drivers anyways (or maybe this works differently on ChromeOS, never used it so 🤷)

So is there anything to be done or should I just give up on this?
