Game wont start
I am trying to run marvel rivals for the first time. i did get the Visual C++ message so i installed the recommended vcrum2022. all it does now is when i press play it says launching, then playing and almost right away it goes back to the blue play button and nothing ever comes up. what am i missing ?

two things,
one, switch to proton-ge-latest
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.conscious-sapphireā¢5w ago

steamdeck=1 there?conscious-sapphireā¢5w ago
