Winetricks doesn't work

I'm using the Flatpak version, installed via KDE Discover on Bazzite (Steam-flavored Fedora Atomic). If I right-click a game and go to settings, I get

Winetricks error
Error:
Winetricks returned the following error during execution:
Error: spawn /home/bri/.var/app/com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl/config/heroic/tools/winetricks ENOENT

I'm assuming that manually putting winetricks there isn't the right way to do it, so I'm wondering if I have something set up wrong I wanted to use Winetricks specifically because I'm having trouble launching some games that are verified compatible on the Steam store, but the versions of the games that I have crash due to what looks like a dependency error. and with this error i'm wondering if something that is supposed to install dependencies is broken

Could you send in Heroic's full log (Settings -> Log)? Heroic auto-downloads Winetricks into that location on startup, so it sounds like something's going wrong there

Sure, one moment https://bin.mediabox.ibeep.com/?7ec5b0f3c45c68d1#FpC4jM639O+2NYgzltacmCUmjcidziJYKhXbGLU94Vk= It doesn’t fit in here so this is just my self-hosted pastebin

Should I just mkdir that folder?

winetricks wouldn't be a folder. it's a script

correct-apricotOP•2y ago

Oh, well then I have no idea why the log says ENOENT if it’s supposed to be downloading it It has those lines even if I just clean start Heroic and don’t try to launch winetricks

fair-rose•2y ago

Heroic pulls it from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Winetricks/winetricks/master/src/winetricks it's possible you had a network hiccup in that moment or maybe your network path to github's cdn is bad

correct-apricotOP•2y ago

Can’t be either, because I can get there just fine in a browser and I consistently get this issue if I try to open winetricks from heroic. Also I’m hardwired in

fair-rose•2y ago

it's a plaintext sh script, so you can put it in manually as a last resort even though Heroic should be pulling it

correct-apricotOP•2y ago

Frustrating but I can definitely try that Thanks Huh. It’s not failing on Downloading Winetricks anymore after that too. Is it possible that for some reason it’s failing to create that file if it doesn’t exist? (I mean that seems to be what was happening, so I guess what I mean is, is this a bug in the code? Or maybe something to do with flatpak limitations or something?)

fair-rose•2y ago

shouldn't be a flatpak permissions thing. a flatpak app has full access within its respective ~/.var/app folder I also use flatpak Heroic yet have never had this be an issue

correct-apricotOP•2y ago

Hm, weird. I’m not sure then… If I feel up to it I’ll try and look at the code but I doubt I’ll find anything too interesting there. Thanks again @termdisc
