non-heroic added app -> Installing required C++ libraries failure loop
I have already read through the support tickets related to this
-> click game -> winetricks button -> open gui -> select default wineprefix -> install windows DLL -> vcrun2022
I get the following outputted in order:
1. You are usiong a 64bit wineprefix...... if any issues pleasew reset to 32bit clean
2. checksum for /home/deck/.var/app-com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl/cache/winetricks/vcrun2022/vc_redist.x86.exe did not match try redownloading (shouldnt it be trying to use 64 bit instead ?)
3. SHA256 missmatch...... (log below)..... continue anyway ?
4. checksum failure again but this time /home/deck/.var/app-com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl/cache/winetricks/vcrun2022/vc_redist.x64.exe
5. continuous loop
6. try start game again, required c++ libraries
does select default wineprefix heroic/prefixes/defaut/<gamename>?
or mean any under heroic/prefixes/defaut?

pacific drive, its the epic games version, installed via heroic but it got deleted from the library screen somehow so i added it via custom. I have very poor internet and would rather not have to reinstall

you don't need to reinstall, you can click the
install
button and there's an Import Game
button and you point it to the files location
most epic games won't work at all without heroic in the middle because of Epic's DRMfair-rose•5mo ago
also, here https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher/wiki/Installing-Visual-C---Runtime it explains an alternative method to install c++ runtime using the installers from microsoft's site for when winetricks fails

to answer your question about prefixes, you should not normally click the
Use Default Wine Settings
button
you want each one to have its own prefix folder, and that button puts the game in a general or default prefix, shared with whatever games are also using it. keep things seperate
