wine: RLIMIT_NICE is <= 20, unable to use setpriority safely
I am trying to launch metro exodus using Wine-GE-Proton8-26 but it is giving an error regarding nice.

That message alone doesn't mean anything
Follow the steps in the next message; if that doesn't work, send in a full game log
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.
To help you, we need a game log. Please see the following images on how to get it.

it worked
what is the difference between proton and wine?
will i be losing anything by switching ot it

no, you wont be losing out on anthing.. proton-ge is maintained, and wine-ge is no longer maintained, so ultimately wine-ge will stop working and be unsupported.
