Folder names cannot include any of the following characters
I get this error while attempting to launch The Witcher Enhanced edition without an existing wineprefix, change wine versions, or force an update.
After clicking ok the wine prefix creates but the game doesnt launch. following attempts to click play have no, invalid path error but no launch

Sounds like
/mnt/Bucket/Games is an NTFS drive
You should not be putting prefixes on NTFS drivesoptimistic-goldOP•6mo ago
its not an ntfs drive

Then I am not sure. That error looks exactly like one that Windows would throw if you tried to use those on an NTFS drive
And the game itself wouldn’t be creating folders with those characters

I've seen that a few times, I thinks it's something checked by some of the latest proton
I had that message but then the game I tried worked just fine
can you try a different proton or an older wine or without umu? just to see what's causing that
