Mars Explorer

this is an old abandoned game that was always free, no piracy here. i'm trying to run the windows version of it, and i'm being met with several stutters the only thing that stands out to me in the log is this line
ProtonFixes[37279] WARN: [CONFIG]: Parent directory "/home/RawToast/.config/protonfixes" does not exist. Abort.
if that's nothing, then great. if not, would a simple reinstall of heroic put that where it needs to be? does anything else stand out in the log?

that path /home/RawToast/.config/protonfixes looks unrelated to heroic (we don't create it), it seems like proton should be managing it?

ProtonFixes should be managed by umu The callout to d3d9 suggests that you might need d3dcompiler 43 or 47

saw that too, but i thought the signs world be more pronounced for that library being needed lol is the protonfixes file bit being present cause for concern at all? I may have deleted it on accident
