Epic game's game crashing when opening (first time user)

Hello, I am a new Linux mint user and I downloaded heroic launcher, I then downloaded the dependencies and am running the wine version that automatically got installed when I got the dependencies. When I then run bloons tower defence 6 I get a message saying "the wine configuration in blahblahblah is being updated. Please wait". Then the message disappears and a small window called bloons td 6 unity or something opens until it crashes and an error message pops up saying there was a drastic error and it had to stop.

The log is attached I think. If you choose to help me thanks for letting me borrow your time.

thats an incredibly old wine. Use heroic's wine manager to install wine-ge-latest and use that in your game instead

wet-aquaOP•11/8/23, 7:39 AM

ok, do I need do download any other dependencies or are there any other programs at all I will need to get it running? All I did pretty much was download heroic not much else

dry-scarlet•11/8/23, 7:40 AM

you also likely need to check the use dedicated gpu check box

wet-aquaOP•11/8/23, 7:40 AM

cool, Ill try that right now and let u know what happens

dry-scarlet•11/8/23, 7:40 AM

🆘-supportRead Me First | Frequently Asked Questions has a link to all the dependencies you'd need for your os

dry-scarlet•11/8/23, 7:40 AM

but installing the right wine version is done through the heroic wine manager

dry-scarlet•11/8/23, 7:41 AM

also it seems you dont have your gpu drivers setup

wet-aquaOP•11/8/23, 7:41 AM

should I download the latest one or the one that has wine and proton in the title

dry-scarlet•11/8/23, 7:41 AM

you need latest nvidia drivers and vulkan support installed

wet-aquaOP•11/8/23, 7:41 AM

dry-scarlet•11/8/23, 7:42 AM

in the wine manager, in the wine-ge section.. just choose latest

wet-aquaOP•11/8/23, 7:42 AM

k, is this what u were talking about: https://developer.nvidia.com/vulkan-driver

NVIDIA Developer

Vulkan Driver Support

Get the latest Vulkan 1.3 general release drivers and developer beta drivers.

dry-scarlet•11/8/23, 7:42 AM

installing drivers depends on your os

dry-scarlet•11/8/23, 7:43 AM

you will have to install it how your distro suggests

dry-scarlet•11/8/23, 7:43 AM

you never really get anything direct from nvidia

wet-aquaOP•11/8/23, 7:44 AM

Im not super good with terms but I am using a nvidia driver 535. I use linux mint, and have a driver manager

wet-aquaOP•11/8/23, 7:44 AM

is this not vulkan?

dry-scarlet•11/8/23, 7:44 AM

that should be fine

wet-aquaOP•11/8/23, 7:45 AM

cool, so do I still need to install vulkan, im still not very sure what it is

dry-scarlet•11/8/23, 7:45 AM

its a graphics api

dry-scarlet•11/8/23, 7:45 AM

like direct x 12 but open

dry-scarlet•11/8/23, 7:46 AM

gaming on linux depends on it.. it uses translation layers like dxvk and vkd3d to translate directx calls into vulkan ones so games can run

wet-aquaOP•11/8/23, 7:46 AM

i see, ill do some research on it for linux mint. Ill prob follow a tutorial or smtn

dry-scarlet•11/8/23, 7:47 AM

but its part of the drivers for your graphics card so if you've installed latest you are probably good

dry-scarlet•11/8/23, 7:47 AM

really though whats really blocking you is that you need wine-ge latest and need to change the game to use it

dry-scarlet•11/8/23, 7:47 AM

and you need to enable dedicated graphics

wet-aquaOP•11/8/23, 7:48 AM

wdym change the game

dry-scarlet•11/8/23, 7:48 AM

game settings in heroic

dry-scarlet•11/8/23, 7:48 AM

once you have the right wine you havet o tell heroic to use it with your game

wet-aquaOP•11/8/23, 7:49 AM

oh I see. For some reason the download of Wine-GE-Latest failed. the wine that automaticly installed when I downloaded btd6 is the one below the latest: Wine-GE-Proton8-22. Im not sure why I can't download the latest

wet-aquaOP•11/8/23, 7:50 AM

I enabled the dedicated graphics though. Right now when I try to open the game when the second latest one nothing happens. It just eventually stops

dry-scarlet•11/8/23, 7:51 AM

the game isnt set to use that wine

dry-scarlet•11/8/23, 7:52 AM

its using some real old wine that you have installed on your system

dry-scarlet•11/8/23, 7:52 AM

you need to change it to the Wine-GE you have

dry-scarlet•11/8/23, 7:52 AM

should be in the game's settings

wet-aquaOP•11/8/23, 7:55 AM

I am not sure if I explained it right. Let me explain: when I downloaded btd6 it installed Wine - Wine - GE - Proton8-22. Which is the second latest wine in the wine maneger. I later installed dependincies from the read me and it also installed Wine Default - wine-6.0.3...u know the rest. When I try to install the latest wine it doesn't work. And when I switch from the really old wine u talked about to the one that was installed with btd6 it still doesnt work

dry-scarlet•11/8/23, 7:56 AM

no im understanding.. if you ran it with the game set to use the wine-ge version you mentioned earlier, post those logs

dry-scarlet•11/8/23, 7:56 AM

iirc you have to install some stuff via winetricks for this game

wet-aquaOP•11/8/23, 7:57 AM

ok, ill get the logs rn

wet-aquaOP•11/8/23, 7:57 AM

message.txt6.72KB

wet-aquaOP•11/8/23, 7:57 AM

this is the logs of the second latest wine manager the wine-proton one

wet-aquaOP•11/8/23, 7:59 AM

so do u think the problem is needing to install something via winetricks

dry-scarlet•11/8/23, 7:59 AM

are yousure you've installed your nvidia drivers

dry-scarlet•11/8/23, 8:00 AM

wet-aquaOP•11/8/23, 8:00 AM

this is my drivers screen

wet-aquaOP•11/8/23, 8:00 AM

and let me check the link u sent I might have not

wet-aquaOP•11/8/23, 8:02 AM

yea I did run the command. do you think something might have gone wrong during the installations of dependencies. Is there any harm in doing it again

dry-scarlet•11/8/23, 8:03 AM

whats the output of inxi -G
