Winemenubuilder Error
I'm trying to run some retro games on manjaro, but each one of them is running into the same error, I can't find any documentation about this and I'm at my wits end, here is the log for HoMM3.
Let me know if anymore info is needed.

don't use system Wine. Also, see this post https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher/wiki/Game-Workarounds#heroes-of-might-and-magic-3-complete-from-gog

GE-Proton-latest with UMU enabled
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.

ah, alright

still won't launch, I switched to Proton-GE-letest, and checked UMU, new error log though

disable Use Dedicated GPU, add
WINEDEBUG=+fixme to the environment variables
then generate a new log
have you already done the fix indicated in the wiki for HOMM3?fascinating-indigoOP•4mo ago
ah, alright
how new is that issue, cause I never ran into that problem before
at lest, last time I played on linux
stormy-gold•4mo ago
don't know. I just keep seeing HOMM3 show up here

my brain is having a moment, I'm re-reading the fix for HoMM3, so I copy the ddraw file, remane it to xdd and use that to replce the original one?
I get it now, it's the xdd file in Heroes 3's folder not the prefixes
nope, I'm lost
stormy-gold•4mo ago
take
ddraw from the prefix, replace game folder's xdd with itfascinating-indigoOP•4mo ago
oh, okay
well, it runs now, but now that game won't recognize any of my inputs, keys nor mouse....
oh, that might just be the game, fun
I love unskipable cutsenes
also, thank you for being so patient with me
