Games wont launch using Heroic Games Launcher.

It seems that Heroic can't locate my games, even when I manually set the launcher.exe in the game settings. After pressing "PLAY NOW" it simply says "Running" for around 3 seconds then stops and goes back to just showing "PLAY NOW" with nothing happening in the background. I showed my fastfetch information in the second screenshot for pc specs/other information. I have previously looked up on some reddit posts and none of their potential fixes worked, like for example reinstalling the launcher or manually setting the launcher.exe I installed heroic through the AUR package: heroic-games-launcher

Of course running "wine /home/jay/Games/Heroic/HITMAN3/Launcher.exe" works perfectly for now, but I would like to have a fix for this.

To help you, we need a game log. Please see the following images on how to get it.

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.
