Sorry a little blurry because of window manager configs xD
Install Wine Dependencies by following this guide
If this does not immediately resolve your issue, you might also have to delete your Wineprefix (by default it's in
~/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/default/<game name>
)
Alternatively, you can use the Flatpak version of Heroic: https://flathub.org/apps/com.heroicgameslauncher.hglfascinating-indigo•4mo ago
but also keep in mind:
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.

kinda not understand the final step, can you explain lol
Im using Arch + Hyprland and aur package and pacman can not find any of these lib

step 4 is to just make a backup of your existing prefix. if you haven't played the game yet. just delete the folder using your file explorer of choice
did you enable
multilib

one of the first thing I did when I install Arch all the time

unwilling-turquoiseOP•4mo ago
I did all the step above (not the final but I havent play anything so far)
unwilling-turquoiseOP•4mo ago
I pressed play and the game seem to installed something but it has been staying like this for that last 20 mins

you need to enable multilib
and also the community repo
