Hi! Heroes of Might and Magic 3 Complete (GOG) won't launch
So! I bought Homm3 on GOG and I'm trying to play the game, but the game just doesn't starts up. Heroic tries to launch it, but it just never starts. Heroic registers the action and tries to open it because when I click 'Play now' the state of Heroic changes to 'Playing (stop)', but the game doesn't even open a window.
This is the full Heroic log file and also Homm3 log file https://0x0.st/Xk_t.log - https://discord.com/channels/812703221789097985/1306288358020087900/1306289416460832819
Thanks in advance!

To help you, we need a game log. Please see the following images on how to get it.

"name": "Wine Default - wine-9.0 (Ubuntu 9.0~repack-4build3)"
Use GE-Proton-latest insteadflat-fuchsiaOP•7mo ago
how can I do that? I'm kinda newish to linux
exotic-emerald•7mo ago
use the Wine Manager on the left column to install GE-Proton-latest
flat-fuchsiaOP•7mo ago
okay!
exotic-emerald•7mo ago
then in the game's settings in Heroic, change the Wine runner to that
you should also change your default to be that as well
be sure to enable UMU support in Settings, Advanced

oh
didn't do that
just crashed again, I will try and report
yelping-magenta•7mo ago
wine and proton have different file structures, it's going to help in the long run

the game now took more time trying to launch, but failed again
yelping-magenta•7mo ago
is that save location right?
flat-fuchsiaOP•7mo ago
"location": "/media/wintermute/JUEGOS/Heroic/Homm3/HoMM 3 Complete/Games"
this one?
yelping-magenta•7mo ago
yeah
flat-fuchsiaOP•7mo ago
it is
I'm reinstalling the game
just in case I missed any step on the wine to proton switch
yelping-magenta•7mo ago
probably "verify and repair" is better in the future
flat-fuchsiaOP•7mo ago
oh
I never used heroic before lol
also just in case I'm installing it on my primary ssd
hm, Heroic is now installing GOG redistributables
it didn't do that before
yelping-magenta•7mo ago
noice
flat-fuchsiaOP•7mo ago
flat-fuchsiaOP•7mo ago

heroic -> game page -> settings -> advanced -> environment variables
yelping-magenta•7mo ago
put
PROTON LOG and 1 for the value
run the game again, then send steam-0.log from your home directory
we need a command for thatflat-fuchsiaOP•7mo ago
yelping-magenta•7mo ago
@CommandMC can we get a command for explaining proton logs? (sorry for the ping)

I guess the problem is here
Probably, although someone else would have to make that (I'll have little time & a bad connection in the next few days)

I'm having this same issue. Did you ever get HOMM3 working through Heroic?
