Can't Launch GOG version of Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
https://0x0.st/8HKP.log
Yo, at first i was having problem with even running the launcher.exe using Wine GE but then i switched to UMU experimental proton ge 9-20, downloaded vcrun2022 and then the launcher finally worked!
HOWEVER, i can't play the game in the launcher because i think it doesn't detect the game files.
Is there anyway to make it detect it?
Also i tried to launch the game with just the Oblivion.exe instead of the OblivionLauncher.exe and the window appears for a second and then immediately ceases to run.
Idk man just want to play some Oblivion, Need Help 💀

alright so i found this thread on reddit which seems have the method to fix this but (even though this is for steam) i think this is an oblivion problem with it not having a proper key
[FIX] Oblivion launcher has all options disabled/greyed out on Stea...

literally going into EditApp/Game making it the exectuable
i did everything in the reddit post correctly and now the oblivion launcher won't even show up

it might be the fact its the GOG Version instead of steam version and/or the path to my games files isn't " \steam\steamapps\common " because i don't have steam
