Nine Years of Shadow running at 800+ dps
Hi! I am trying to boot up Nine Years of Shadow, the GoG version, and it never really loads, nothing but a black screen, and also says its running at like 800 frames on my steam deck's fps monitor. Trying to play on a launch, LCD Steam Deck. Here are the logs.

Wine-GE is rather old now (last release is almost a year ago) and thus might not work correctly. Please follow these instructions on using GE-Proton with umu instead:
1. Head to the Wine Manager in Heroic, click the "Proton-GE" tab, and install "Proton-GE-Latest"
2. Enable umu in "Settings" (Heroic sidebar) -> "Advanced" -> "Use UMU as Proton runtime"
Note: For a visual guide, see attached image
3. Head to the settings for your game(s) (icon on game card in library). In the "Wine Version" dropdown, select "Proton - Proton-GE-latest"
4. Rename your Wineprefix (path is shown in game settings), e.g. from
current-name to current-name_bak. To clarify: Rename the actual folder on your hard drive, do not change the option in the game settings.
Note: This will make game-specific configuration data (e.g. in-game settings or save files) unavailable. If this is an issue, let us know & we'll help you restore them.

ty i will try it!
a little unclear onthe last step, is current-name the name of the game folder, in this case Nine Years of Shadow, meaning I'd rename it Nine Years of Shadow.bak?
actually nevermind whatever i've done seems to have worked!
