Genshin Impact launcher not opening from HGL
Hello, I am currently on Debian 12, using AMD Ryzen 7 with Radeon Graphics. I installed the Genshin Impact via legendary cli before HGL and tried to run it. Worked without a problem until login screen puzzle. I couldn't able to see any button or thing to touch for login screen puzzle. I decided to run via HGL and wine-ge, logged in to my epic account and imported Genshin Impact directory HGL didn't gave any error and when I tried to run, created a prefix without a problem BUT I couldn't able to open it. Got some errors, going to include them.

For vulkan, I am not %100 what should I have. Vulkaninfo works without a problem. I tried to deselect-select VKD-DXVK from settings. Didn't change anything.

you have installed the game in inaccessible location
/run/user/1000/doc/c4937773/GenshinImpact
make sure to reinstall the game but also ensure that you've given Heroic permissions to the path you are going to install the game in
you can use Flatseal to add such permissionsextended-salmonOP•15mo ago
Can't I change to location to a accessable path? I have a really bad internet connection and reinstalling takes soo much time for me.
ambitious-aqua•15mo ago
yeah, you can
you still need to remove the game from Heroic and re-add it properly
ambitious-aqua•15mo ago
make sure to have the first box unchecked

Removing from HGL not a big problem.
Thank you ^^
Even I check the first one, isn't HGL going to create a prefix again when I try to launch?
ambitious-aqua•15mo ago
it will, but the game is also installed there I assume
unless you specified location other than anything starting with C:/ when installing Genshin
extended-salmonOP•15mo ago
I only installed via legendary to my Games directory. I used HGL to import from this directory "/home/$HOME/Games/GenshinImpact" and started to run. I didn't installed anythiing to prefix.
ambitious-aqua•15mo ago
oh I see
well, then you can re-import the game
just make sure you have the permissions setup
extended-salmonOP•15mo ago
Yep, going to change location and re-import.
Installing flatseal right now.
Thank you so much, It was a permission error ^^ @Linguin
