HGL not launching games after migrating install

I recently upgraded to a new device (Ally X)
And just copied everything over. I am on chimera os. Heroic had zero issues before. I made sure to refresh the exes. It's not even loading amazon, eos, or gog games

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

no, see above

awake-maroonOP•3/20/25, 9:02 PM

Oh gotcha, hang on

Nnursing-lime no, see above

awake-maroonOP•3/20/25, 9:05 PM

It keeps saying something about verbose logs disabled?

nursing-lime•3/20/25, 9:05 PM

enable verbose logging

@termdisc hows that

nursing-lime•3/20/25, 9:08 PM

DXVK-NVAPI is enabled. Disable it.
Prefix folder is generic. Add the game name after .../Prefixes/default/.../Prefixes/default/
You're using Wine-GE. See below

HeroicBotAPP•3/20/25, 9:08 PM

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:

Head to the Wine Manager in Heroic, click the "Proton-GE" tab, and install "Proton-GE-Latest"
Head to the settings for your game(s) (icon on game card in library). In the "Wine Version" dropdown, select "Proton - Proton-GE-latest"
Rename your Wineprefix (path is shown in game settings), e.g. from
```
current-name
```
```
current-name
```
to
```
current-name_bak
```
```
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.

skip step 3 in the wine-ge steps as it is taken care of by step 2 of my list

Nnursing-lime 1. DXVK-NVAPI is enabled. Disable it. 2. Prefix folder is generic. Add the game ...

awake-maroonOP•3/20/25, 9:10 PM

To clarify this has nothing to do with where the exe is located?

awake-maroonOP•3/20/25, 9:11 PM

Step 2 I mean

nursing-lime•3/20/25, 9:11 PM

right. that's the wine prefix folder

awake-maroonOP•3/20/25, 9:11 PM

Roger, gimme a sec

awake-maroonOP•3/20/25, 9:15 PM

@termdisc did not work

awake-maroonOP•3/20/25, 9:15 PM

Uploading new long

awake-maroonOP•3/20/25, 9:19 PM

Oh wait, forgot a step

nursing-lime•3/20/25, 9:20 PM

2: DXVK-NVAPI, and you're still using Wine-GE

Nnursing-lime 2: DXVK-NVAPI, and you're still using Wine-GE

awake-maroonOP•3/20/25, 9:21 PM

You said step 2 would take care of that?

nursing-lime•3/20/25, 9:22 PM

sorry I wasn't clearer. step 3 of the wine-ge specific instructions, renaming the prefix to be _bak is addressed by step 2 of the earlier set where I have you add the game name

awake-maroonOP•3/20/25, 9:22 PM

Oh.. man my reading comprehensive is really bad today. My bad

awake-maroonOP•3/20/25, 9:26 PM

My wifi is taking forever to download ge latest, will update when it's downloaded

awake-maroonOP•3/20/25, 9:37 PM

@termdisc had to restart herpic afterwards but that appears to have worked. What does dxvk do? And is there way to apply these settings globally, retroactively, or do I need to go into each game individually

nursing-lime•3/20/25, 9:41 PM

DXVK translates DirectX to Vulkan. DXVK-NVAPI adds Nvidia API support. it doesn't hurt to have enabled for AMD, but it also doesn't help.

nursing-lime•3/20/25, 9:41 PM

you cannot apply retroactively

nursing-lime•3/20/25, 9:42 PM

it seems like you checked the box for "use default wine settings" when importing things in

nursing-lime•3/20/25, 9:42 PM

don't use that

awake-maroonOP•3/20/25, 9:47 PM

Roger

awake-maroonOP•3/20/25, 9:48 PM

Thanks for your help,

awake-maroonOP•3/20/25, 9:48 PM
