Ghostrunner 2 C++ error
Trying to launch Ghostrunner 2 but I keep getting a Microsoft C++ error. Anyone got a fix? Tried installing the redistributable but I keep getting the same error :/

install vcrun2022 using winetricks (settings > wine tab > winetricks > search for vcrun2022 > install)

Oof I’m in a bit over my head. What’s winetricks? Where do I find those settings? In heroic or is wonetricks its own exe? Is it the same as protontricks?

in heroic, right click the game in the library > settings > wine tab > scroll down > click the winetricks button > it opens a new dialog, search for
vcrun2022 in the text input, it will show you results with an Install button > click itquickest-silverOP•6mo ago
Hmmm nothing showing when I input vcrun2022

Oh what the hell lol suddenly it’s running
Idk what I did but appreciate the help!
Welp - spoke too soon
Ok I’m getting a white screen for half of the menu and totally white when I launch into the game. Any ideas?
Tried proton experimental, hot fix, and 9.0. Same issue :/
To help you, we need a game log. Please see the following images on how to get it.

This can happen when you type in too fast before winetricks is fully loaded. Backspacing can kickstart it

Damn so no need to install winetricks from the repos? Just use that instead

Pretty sure it was the proton they advised using that did the trick. Running great 👌🏻

Yea

I just tested this using UMU + latest Proton-GE, seems to work fine after installing vcrun2022
Upstreamed PR to umu here so that automatically gets installed 🙂
https://github.com/Open-Wine-Components/umu-protonfixes/pull/189
I'm still murky on when these fixes get applied though, is proton-GE always pulling from this database? So once it's merged, this fix will automatically be live?
evident-indigo•6mo ago
iirc umu will see it once its in the database
absent-sapphire•6mo ago
Ah okay, would deleting the prefix be enough to test that?
other-emerald•6mo ago
keep in mind that heroic can also be installing vcrun2022, I added it to heroic's known fixes here https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/known-fixes/commit/2aee0fc8b0556f3baaf67a1286c8b35e3f3b9e61, make sure you have the
known fixes experimental feature disabled in settings > advanced if you want to be sure it's UMU the one installing thatabsent-sapphire•6mo ago
Oh I didn't realize heroic had its own database as well, I'll make sure to contribute here as well in the future.
Does enabling umu automatically disable grabbing fixes from this database? I have both "apply known fixes automatically" and "use umu as proton runtime" enabled but still had to grab vcrun2022.
other-emerald•6mo ago
I don't think enabling umu disables the known fixes, might be something to improve there
absent-sapphire•6mo ago
Both database and fix PR were merged, doesn't seem to detect the game hm
absent-sapphire•6mo ago
Oh the CSV is spitting back some errors on the github
Alright looks like it is instant, once the game and its fix are in the database, heroic installs the required dependency:)
