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:
1. Head to the Wine Manager in Heroic, click the "Proton-GE" tab, and install "Proton-GE-Latest"
2. Head to the settings for your game(s) (icon on game card in library). In the "Wine Version" dropdown, select "Proton - Proton-GE-latest"
3. 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.optimistic-goldOP•5mo ago

it still works if you change the target exe and use the environment variable

interesting
i wonder if the same would work for macs
i was under the same understanding that the epic version just didnt work properly

would be nice to add a wiki page with the different workarounds both for linux and mac, I never remember what's the right solution
foreign-sapphire•5mo ago
I think the same thing works for Mac, but it's been a while since I verified it
optimistic-goldOP•5mo ago
is the fact that i use the preinstalled heroic as a flatpak causing more issues?
foreign-sapphire•5mo ago
no
adverse-sapphire•5mo ago
i can test it sometime later
adverse-sapphire•5mo ago
I’ve used the epic games version on Mac before…
It runs just as fine as steam
adverse-sapphire•5mo ago
i tested it like ~release week and it refused to work
mightve fixed in a later patch
adverse-sapphire•5mo ago
Maybe
adverse-sapphire•5mo ago
are you using the
steamdeck=1 env variable workaroundadverse-sapphire•5mo ago
Naw
Just download and launch
This is through heroic right
adverse-sapphire•5mo ago

adverse-sapphire•5mo ago
Yeah
adverse-sapphire•5mo ago
what wine runner were you using
paid crossover?
adverse-sapphire•5mo ago
Free trial
Crossover is the only one that works with the anticheat
adverse-sapphire•5mo ago

I have a question, I am trying to run marvel rivals using GE-Proton-Latest and I set the following env variables "VKD3D_DISABLE_EXTENSIONS=VK_NV_low_latency2 SteamDeck=1 PSOCompileMode=1" however when launching the game it says The following are required Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime. How to fix? My apologies new to linux
adverse-sapphire•5mo ago
install vcrun2022 with winetricks

xenial-black•5mo ago
okay now it doesn't launch nor give any errors
I turned on verbose logging and this is what it shows
uhh looks like a mess mb
foreign-sapphire•5mo ago
That’s not a game log
You also set the wrong exe.
