Recipe for Disaster not starting, bad executable format

Platform: Ubuntu 23.04 Installation: heroic_2.9.1_amd64.deb The game does not launch and the last lines in the log show (in french, sorry) that it does not recognize the executable type, however:
$ file Games/Heroic/RecipeforDisaster0s8oN/Recipe\ for\ Disaster.exe heroic_2.9.1_amd64.deb
Games/Heroic/RecipeforDisaster0s8oN/Recipe for Disaster.exe: PE32+ executable (GUI) x86-64, for MS Windows, 6 sections
$ file Games/Heroic/RecipeforDisaster0s8oN/Recipe\ for\ Disaster.exe heroic_2.9.1_amd64.deb

That's your game settings file, not the game log

Sorry there are problems copying from the "report a problem dialog", apparently because of a very long line

this attempt at creating a directory with such a name is very suspicious 🙂

open the game settings in heroic and change the Wine Prefix setting to be /home/vianney/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/Recipe for Disaster, for some reason your wine prefix is messed up after doing that try again and if it doesn't work share a new log

Try downloading the latest version of Wine-GE from Heroic's Wine Manager, selecting it in the game settings, and deleting your Wineprefix directory

Should probably also update Heroic itself.

Heroic was already uptodate, updating wine and clearing wineprefix does the job, thanks much!

Oh, sorry! I didn't notice the different version number in the log; I just saw the version in the .deb filename earlier. :Facepalm:
