Hogwarts Legacy won't start
Every time I try to launch Hogwarts Legacy, it tells me that Microsoft visual c++ runtime is required. I'm running Nobara Linux if that helps at all.
CFirst, please post logs #:pushpin: Read Me First | Frequently Asked Questions
Second, did you try installing that runtime in winetricks?

F@Despionnage all ya need to do is install the runtime to heroic folder

CThe Hogwarts Legacy folder shows it containing a vcruntime140.dll. I've tried installing the runtime over and over again to no avail
Cthis is the heroic log, post the game log

CMy bad
Call good
Ctry running the verify and repair option, delete the prefix, then run the game
CSame thing
Cpost the log

Finstall the runtime(s) in the games prefix folder
Ci'm almost positive that the answer is to install vcrun2022 or vcrun2019 via wintricks
Cno need for this, winetricks does it
CI've installed vcrun2022. I've attempted to install vcrun2019, but it fails each time
Fyeah wel what i usualy just do is run the runtime .exe into the games prefix and it should work just klike i do in bottles 1 setup i install or runtimes 1st then i never need to install again
Ctry deleting the prefix and installing vcrun2019 only, then run the game
CStill the same thing

Cwow, it really is the same thing
Ci think you're going to have to wait for someone else to weigh in here
CI'm glad I'm not the only one that's confused
Coh for sure lol
CSo, I did the "legendary activate -U" terminal command and it failed. I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it or not
CSomething else, winetricks keeps installing the x86 version of the runtime, but my machine is running x64. Would that make a difference?
CThis is what the terminal gives me when attempting to run it from the exe manually

Wdon't run wine as root
CAlright
CIn that case, this is what I get

CI'm trying to throw everything at the wall and hoping something sticks 
DWhy is that log cropped and filled with wined3d errors?
DYou can't run that game without dxvk and vkd3d-proton
CI can't run the game through heroic either
DDid you try with Proton or Wine when you used Heroic?
CI did
DOk, i see that log now which seems it just prematurely exited ( didn't even start ) but is that log retrieved from "show log in folder" option or just copy pasted from Heroic UI?
DIf latter, then it is most likely truncated
DAnd won't show useful stuff that might be in there
CCThere you go
DNot an Epic copy, are you sure that "copy" actually works? 
CI bought it on Epic and I have played it before, just not on linux
DWhat is that means? Your Epic purchase is still accessible in Heroic, why don't you just install the legit build within Heroic then?
CI thought I was? I installed the only one that was there
DHmm, then it is weird it doesn't have a codename in the log but anyways
DTry these
Dflatpak updateThen deleting prefix and launching it again with this added in env vars
WINEDEBUG=+loaddllCStill says it needs c++ runtime
