HGL
fascinating-indigo
Linux Mint HGL no games will launch.
The logs say "can't get libdl.so" i've tried googling it but all i find is mangohud/goverlay errors, which i had already solved by running goverlay latest downloaded since the PPA version dosent work. i tried running 'goverlay' in terminal and i get that same "can't get libdl.so" error so theres definitely something on the Debian side of the system thats broken for at least these 2 applications but google isn't providing any answers.
any help would be massively appreciated. thank you!

Don’t use Proton. Use Wine-GE-latest. Delete the prefix and rerun the game

same error
fascinating-indigo•16mo ago
did you install the wine dependencies linked in this thread? https://discord.com/channels/812703221789097985/1044301598018515105
you can also try using heroic flatpak that includes many dependencies built in

i missed that, im sorry. im attempting that now. recovering from dental surgery and im a bit.. stoned on pain meds out of my minds. ill report back if that solves the problem or not. thank you
that does not solve the problem, even rebooted and still same error

try with heroic flatpak if you haven't already
fascinating-indigoOP•16mo ago
i was told to avoid flatpak. it sucks up disk space and runs worse than regular packages though?
fascinating-indigo•16mo ago
there should be no problem with performance, and it doesn't suck at disk space, it uses more space because it includes the dependencies built in (most, not all), so it can help solve problems with dependencies
the steam deck for example only expects flatpaks to be installed, and it's a system that can't be wasting resources, and it's all good there

oh okay, good to know. thank you. installing it from the manager now. hopefully the settings carry over. ill report back
fascinating-indigo•16mo ago
settings won't carry over, you can probably copy the configuration files from
~/.config/heroic to ~/.var/com.heroicgamesluncher.hgl/config/heroicfascinating-indigoOP•16mo ago
oh okay, ill do that. i wont have to reinstall the games will i?
fascinating-indigoOP•16mo ago
so the flatpak version is broken with mango for some reason
fascinating-indigoOP•16mo ago
ill disable it, but i know it works 'cause i use it in steam games all the time. so thats a weird one
okay, games are working now... thats weird. ill have to go fix mangohud somehow. i really appreciate the help! thank you
fascinating-indigo•16mo ago
you have to install mangohud flatpak version for heroic flatpak to see it
