game launches then immediately closes

I'm on the steamdeck, I am using the latest wine-ge installed through heroic launcher with winecfg set to windows 10 and I have downloaded vcredist and dotnet sdk(the games two pre-reqs) into the wine prefix. The game launches, then immediately closes. This is the log file for the game: https://www.pastebin.com/QPWkbGrC

I think the issue is that winpixruntime.dll is missing, but I have no idea what to install to get it I tried installing direct x to the prefix, same issue

You've installed the game into a folder Heroic doesn't have access to (indicated by the /run/user/1000/doc/ in the path). Grant Heroic access to this folder (for example via Flatseal), then choose "Move Game" in the 3-dot menu on the game page & select the path again

Oh interesting, that explains why I had wine issues when I set my own prefix. I'll look into that thank you Is there a way to just give it all read write permissions? Or is that a bad idea

You can grant Heroic that permission in Flatseal, but it's not exactly intended for that It'd be ideal if you only give it access to the folders it has to have access to

@CommandMC This is a fairly common Flatpak-related problem which should probably be in the readme post. I know people often don't read that anyway, but still...

@yaroj The log you sent in is Heroic's general log, not the game log. Information on where the game is located isn't logged in there, so I can't tell you if you're affected by the same issue Generally, permissions aren't just "lost" randomly, and the default permissions (access to ~/Games/Heroic/ and any other storage devices in /run/media/) should be enough for most use cases

Click the game cover in your library (to get to the game page) -> "Report a problem running this game"

That error's normal (since you're using Proton) You have that same path issue as OP though, so same steps for you: https://discord.com/channels/812703221789097985/1126189533969522832/1126192864494375023 You're running on a multi-GPU system, which can cause problems. Have you perhaps upgraded your GPU drivers recently?
