Try switching to Wine-GE-Latest
(That message just means you’re using Proton outside of Steam and isn’t an actual error)
genetic-orangeOP•9mo ago
did not work
correct-apricot•9mo ago
your heroic is quite out of date, update heroic then delete and try again
this game works out ofthe box in heroic

might need eos overlay enabled
robust-apricot•9mo ago
Also, isn’t one of the .nets a dependency?
correct-apricot•9mo ago
you can try installing d3dcompiler_47 and vcrun2017 if that doesnt work
it does, but it should have auto installed iirc
stormy-gold•9mo ago
I thought all of that was dealt with through known fixes after it went free?
robust-apricot•9mo ago
Would the autoinstalled ones be identified as a Winetricks installation in the log?
correct-apricot•9mo ago
they should be yes
robust-apricot•9mo ago
It’s blank in the log
correct-apricot•9mo ago
so either auto install isnt enabled, or something went wrong when the prefix was installed
yes
which is why i mentioned them
(i dont have any dotnets installed, mine works fine btw)
just to confirm @Bboy486 you deleted the folderi noted, correct?
genetic-orangeOP•9mo ago
yes i did
robust-apricot•9mo ago
I was probably confusing it with vc then
correct-apricot•9mo ago
@Bboy486 try this
genetic-orangeOP•9mo ago

correct-apricot•9mo ago

doesnt mean anything
genetic-orangeOP•9mo ago

Disable NVAPI
genetic-orangeOP•9mo ago
i am oingto reinstall and reboot. i will update tomorrow
correct-apricot•9mo ago
(to be clear nvapi is for nvidia hardware, which the steam deck doesnt have)
reinstalling wont do anything
i wouldnt waste the bandwidth
if the other winetricks installs didnt do it, you can install dotnet46
correct-apricot•9mo ago
tbh tho, i'd delete the prefix again, make sure the option boxed in this picture is enabled (left bar settings -> advanced) hit play on the game, you should see a wine window pop up creating the prefix, then it should show "installing wine tricks packages" for quite sometime

correct-apricot•9mo ago
and then the game will run
you dont have to do any tweaks for this game, i just confirmed on my steam deck with a fresh install. it just runs

Finally got the game working myself by following your advice of just needing the latest Wine-GE thank you! However I only managed to get it to work by uninstalling and reinstalling the game again. Might have been able to verify and fix, but when I did a fresh install it actually went to the installing winetricks stage!
Just leaving this here in case anyone is in the same boat and has previously installed the game and the above doesn’t work for them. 🙂

You had to probably delete your prefix
Reinstalling doesnt do anything but waste bandwidth. The configuration is all stored in the prefix, which reinstalling doesnt recreate unless you deleted the prefix when you uninstalled the game
