Can't start Windows games
I use Arch Linux and installed Heroic via AUR. I was doing a purge and inadvertently deleted the previous working configuration and added everything anew. However, I can't get the games that are on Windows to run - I try to install GOG Redistributables and it takes forever. I tried with Amid Evil and Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. After closing Heroic and both games show up as uninstalled and trying to install again does nothing. https://0x0.st/8S0y.log

can you post a game log after a failed attempt?
or does it not even log the run?

NTFS fs might be the culprit

I don't have installed ntfs-3g, I use btrfs, and previously (before I nuked Heroic config files) was working without problem.
Umm. You mean I should click on "Report a problem running this game" ? https://0x0.st/8SDB.log
Or you mean I should in Advanced Settings enable "Enable verbose logs"?

However, I can't get the games that are on Windows to runDoesnt that mean those games are installed on a NTFS disk?

No. Maybe my english just sucks. What I mean that games for Windows that you need run with proton doesn't start, but games that have natives installers, run without problem.
I even started this topis with "I use Arch Linux and installed Heroic via AUR". 😛

You can use NTFS disk on Linux
Some people does that
Only to find out such setup requires extra steps for Wine and Proton games to work
@roland New to Arch?

I use Arch for about 18 years...
BTRFS for about 6-7 years.
And Heroic for 1,5.

To get a log from proton to see if it even attempts to launch

If it doesnt create anything, then do this in Heroic settings and try again

That environment variables didn't crate anything, but using Reset Heroic helped.
Thank you, smart ass.

What?
I was not trying to be one.
Even most brilliant one can miss some obvious stuff; isnt that why one would open a thread also?
Anyways, glad it is solved but i didnt like your attitude.
