Sword of the Stars - Crash on launch
Something else I'm trying to fiddle with: trying to get Sword of the Stars to run. Not necessarily a Heroic-related issue; I also have a version on Steam and it still crashes on launch. Attaching both the log from Heroic, and the log from the game itself.
It also generated a dump file, if whoever wants to look at this issue needs it, let me know and I'll drop that in, too.

How well does Sword of the Stars: Complete Collection work on Linux...

Kind of need a little bit of walking through. Seems the game log is saying that it's having trouble doing DX3D stuff (not immediately able to access the PC I installed it on, and I know nothing of Winetricks right now)
My interpretation so far is I need to use Winetricks to install Direct3D from DirectX 9 into SotS's Wine prefix, that sound about right?

the first 6 or so ProtonDB entries appear to be consistent about which package you'd need to install
you are on the right track

Yeah, just want to make sure I understand what I'm trying to do, before I try it
Okay, took a few tries to get the path syntax right, but I got the package installed to the prefix and it now works!
