i think i found what part of the log is the issue
[S_API FAIL] SteamAPI_Init() failed
but idk
harsh-harlequin•11mo ago
doesnt mean anything
exotic-emerald•11mo ago
that's not the issue, don't use proton experimental (it expects to be used in steam, that's why you see that error)
use the wine manager section in heroic:
- install the latest Wine-GE version
- set that for the game in the settings
- delete this folder
/home/deck/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/default/Forager
- run the game again
if it still fails share a new logharsh-harlequin•11mo ago
on paste bin if possible x_x
google docs is heavy haha
helpful-purpleOP•11mo ago

Hello, can i revive this thread? I have the some problem. Activated wine-ge-latest, it's fully downloaded and the game wont start.
Log:

Wine-GE is rather old now (last release is almost a year ago) and thus might not work correctly. Please follow these instructions on using GE-Proton with umu instead:
1. Head to the Wine Manager in Heroic, click the "Proton-GE" tab, and install "Proton-GE-Latest"
2. Enable umu in "Settings" (Heroic sidebar) -> "Advanced" -> "Use UMU as Proton runtime"
Note: For a visual guide, see attached image
3. Head to the settings for your game(s) (icon on game card in library). In the "Wine Version" dropdown, select "Proton - Proton-GE-latest"

conscious-sapphire•5mo ago
Already tried that, doesnt work either. UMU is activated, proton-ge-latest is active and when i press play now it changes to launching -> playing (nothing openes) -> play now
Could you add
WINEDEBUG=+fixme
to the environment variables of the game, re-run it, and send in a new log?conscious-sapphire•5mo ago
Make sure the
vulkan-icd-loader
, lib32-vulkan-icd-loader
, nvidia-utils
and lib32-nvidia-utils
packages are installedconscious-sapphire•5mo ago
i already have nvidia-utils and lib32-nvidia-utils through endeavourOS but installed the first two. it still wont work

This isn’t your main issue, but fix your save sync path
"location": "/home/asoriam/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/default/Forager/pfx/dosdevices/c:/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/ForagerCommand exited with status: 0"
Oh yeah that's still an issue with umu
Could you send in a new log?
fair-rose•5mo ago
Are other games playable? Are all of the wine dependencies installed?
Wine dependencies don't matter with umu
Looks like their Vulkan setup isn't right though (which would mean other games won't run either)
fair-rose•5mo ago
Yeah I was thinking that because Vulkan stuff is included in the big list of dependencies, not specifically for wine itself
conscious-sapphire•5mo ago
all other games are playable so far. how can i see the dependencies?
i can play return to moria and control without problems
what do you mean exactly?
https://0x0.st/8iej.log
fair-rose•5mo ago
The save path should not be
…/c:/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/ForagerCommand exited with status: 0
00d8:err:vulkan:wine_vkCreateInstance Failed to create instance, res=-9
Yeah something Vulkan-related still isn't right
Could you also add DXVK_LOG_LEVEL=info
to the env vars?fair-rose•5mo ago
Did you delete the prefix folder when you switched between Wine and Proton?
conscious-sapphire•5mo ago
Wait a minute
"winePrefix": "/home/asoriam/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/default/The Lord of The Rings Return to Moria",Yeah you just changed that path Don't do that
conscious-sapphire•5mo ago
i just saw that too, thats the wrong game..
conscious-sapphire•5mo ago
changed it
it still wont work

conscious-sapphire•5mo ago
i tried a reinstall and will give you an update asap
fair-rose•5mo ago
You should
conscious-sapphire•5mo ago
still doesnt work

conscious-sapphire•5mo ago
it's launching and nothing happens

If you're gonna use Wine-GE, you'll need Wine Dependencies
Install Wine Dependencies by following this guide
If this does not immediately resolve your issue, you might also have to delete your Wineprefix (by default it's in
~/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/default/<game name>
)
Alternatively, you can use the Flatpak version of Heroic: https://flathub.org/apps/com.heroicgameslauncher.hglconscious-sapphire•5mo ago
no i normally wanna use proton-ge
i was just desperate 😄
