The expanse: A Telltale Series stuck on installing prerequisites.
Hi,
I tried to install The Expanse on a regular SteamDeck. I've tried with different versions of Proton, and have installed vcrun2022 using winetricks. However, any time I press play it displays "installing prerequisites" and gets stuck there, with no indication that anything's actually happening. Hopefully some of you guys know what the problem is.

then you changed it to /home/deck/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/ which contains other prefixes
then it installed winetricks in there
and then
it somehow fell into launch loop
try with wine-gesunny-greenOP•2y ago
Yeah, I think I must have accidentally pasted something. I noticed it looked odd, but wasn't sure what the best folder was, I guess I picked wrong.
deep-jade•2y ago
by default it is
/home/deck/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/[GAME NAME]sunny-greenOP•2y ago
Changing to the folder just called the expanse seem to have worked
Thanks, there didn't seem to be a reset to default button, but I just found that folder and it worked. Thanks a lot for your help!
