different Proton versions don't change anything
useful-bronze•3w ago
Proton Experimental got bumped to 10 the other day. I wouldn’t recommend that right now. Switch to GE-Proton-latest and ensure that umu is enabled
afraid-scarletOP•3w ago
GE latest didn't change anything
the "disable umu" checkbox is already unchecked
useful-bronze•3w ago
check and uncheck the box again to force it to be enabled. then post a new log every time you say something doesn't work

the log isn't producing meaningful output, partly because this is sideloaded Ubisoft. I'm also not sure if it's because of how old your distro is
afraid-scarletOP•2w ago
is my distro old?
useful-bronze•2w ago
Linux Mint - yes
version 21.3 - double yes
Mint is by definition old upon release because it's like Ubuntu LTS but even more LTS
21.3 came out in January 2024

@termdisc
updated to the newest
doesn't Heroic have any crash logs?
useful-bronze•2w ago
enable verbose logging
it didn't indicate that it was off in the end of the log, so I missed that the setting was disabled
afraid-scarletOP•2w ago
https://0x0.st/8JgK.log
did gamemode fail to start too?
useful-bronze•2w ago
try installing
d3dcompiler_47
via Winetricks and if that doesn't work, d3dcompiler_43
you can disregard thatafraid-scarletOP•2w ago
oke
afraid-scarletOP•2w ago
it still says this after installing something

useful-bronze•2w ago
