Need help playing Fall Guys
Hi everyone, I am trying to play Fall Guys. This is my first time trying out HGL (installed through flatpak).
I was following this reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/w3y2v4/guide_to_install_fall_guys_from_epic_games_with/
Everything seemed fine up until the last step, when it mentioned that I am using a 64-bit WINEPREFIX and that it looked like it aborted.
The first attempt at running black screened.
The second attempt got through but now I am getting a message saying that files are missing and to verify the game. I have now done that by clicking "Verify and Repair". Upon launching again, I receive the same message

ah, thank you

don't use proton, use the latest wine
stormy-goldOP•2y ago
I only see proton listed as options under the fall guys settings

if the error persists, send a new log. wine has better logs than proton
oh, go to the wine manager in heroic and download it from there, then it will be an option

ok doing that now
yeah same error
foreign-sapphire•2y ago

I am having an issue finding this
In Heroic's game settings, click Run EXE on Prefix and run

in the game's page, click on the thing that looks like an abacus in the top right corner
