Wine not found but installed
Hello,
I have installed Heroic to play some old classic games on my laptop with Ubuntu.
I have installed the wine packages and also proton.
But the launcher doesn't seem to find them.

- Switch to GE-Proton
- Check & un-check "Disable umu" in the "Advanced" tab of the game settings
The root cause here is that you're missing Wine dependencies. You can either install them (not sure how easy that is on Ubuntu nowadays), use umu, or use the Flatpak version of Heroic

With Proton i got another error:
You're not using umu there
adverse-sapphireOP•2w ago
I have deactivated ume
Make sure to check and un-check the "Disable umu" option. You want to use umu, but it's actually disabled by default (unless you explicitly enable it; that's a bug in Heroic)
adverse-sapphireOP•2w ago
OK, more has happened in the past.

Apparently AppArmor-related issue, follow the instructions there to install umu system-wide

To be exact, you want this package: https://github.com/Open-Wine-Components/umu-launcher/releases/download/1.2.6/python3-umu-launcher_1.2.6-1_amd64_ubuntu-noble.deb
To install it, either just download it & double-click it, or run these commands:

And the next Problem:
I have an 64bit System
I had always hoped that with the launcher I wouldn't have to bother with all the Wine fiddling. 😕
You'll still need some 32-bit components around
should install those
Well you did somewhat make things harder by using Heroic's .deb version; on Flatpak this wouldn't be an issue
adverse-sapphireOP•2w ago
OK. The Game Starts.
This is a error from the Game.
Thats another Issue.

Gonna need a new game log

Tropico Reloaded
Tropico combines real-time strategy and simulation elements with a healthy dose of politi
(not sure if there's much of a difference between the "Reloaded" version & the original; can't get the original anymore)
adverse-sapphireOP•2w ago
YES.
This includes Tropico 1 and 2.
I am currently trying Tropico 1.
2 is not starting at the moment. <<but something has to be adjusted in the ini.
Can no longer be purchased individually.
The Reloaded contains 1 and 2
Runs out of the box for me
adverse-sapphireOP•2w ago
Why they using SteamAP?
That's not an error, just a quirk with Proton

"bin": "/home/tyroonis/.config/heroic/tools/proton/GE-Proton8-10/proton", "name": "Proton - GE-Proton8-10",That's rather ancient
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.(you're not using Wine-GE, but the rest of those instructions is still accurate)

adverse-sapphireOP•2w ago
Yeah i triet an older Version.
Latest also dont work
Right, usually older versions won't help anything
Switch back to -latest, rename/delete your Wineprefix, then re-run the game. Assuming it still does the same thing, send in another log
adverse-sapphireOP•2w ago
Oh well.
If I change the version, do I also have to change the prefix?
It's a good idea with version bumps this huge, but usually (meaning if you're just updating as new versions get released) you don't have to, no
adverse-sapphireOP•2w ago
dont work with ne prefix an Proton Latest
What ist this?
"autoInstallDxvk": true,
for me it is set to false
and autoInstallVkd3d also
ambitious-aqua•2w ago
that's only important when using wine-ge instead of ge-proton, vkd3d and dxvk are enabled by default with proton
adverse-sapphireOP•2w ago
OK.
I don't know what the problem is.
I can't find any other logs from the game either.

Here are the logs again.
Maybe someone will find something
You might want to try adding
WINEDEBUG=+timestamp,+pid,+tid,+seh,+unwind,+threadname,+debugstr,+loaddll,+mscoree
to the environment variables (in the game settings) & sending in a new log. Right now, there's nothing obvious in that log (it certainly looks different, but I'm not sure where the issue might be)
Another option would be to try the Flatpak version of Heroic, that'll rule out most system configuration issuesadverse-sapphireOP•2w ago
I'll try again later.
I didn't really want to install flatpak separately. Ubuntu does not include flatpack by default. Only Snap.
