genshin imapct hangs on launch
Switched yesterday from AAGL to HGL due to the former being depricated, the game downloaded and ran fine however today it doesn't launch at all. I click the launch button in HGL and it just hangs on that launcher, not pulling up the Genshin one but it still says that its running even though I'm not seeing it in the task manager. I tried the trick where you disconnect from the internet to launch it but that didn't help either.

how do i add those versions of proton to HGL? i'm not going through steam at all for this game
unwilling-turquoise•2w ago
if you don't have Steam installed at all, then use ProtonPlus to install Wine-Staging-Tkg
but you don't need Steam to run the game. you just need Steam to download Proton
minor correction, you need Steam running but not need it to run the game itself
flat-fuchsiaOP•2w ago
i probably should've phrased that better, thats on me lol. i have steam installed and running but i don't have it connected to hgl
unwilling-turquoise•2w ago
that's fine
just have it download Proton 10 and set it as your runner in Heroic

when i go into setting to select my version of proton i'm only seeing a few GE-protons i have installed
unwilling-turquoise•2w ago
do you have Proton 10 installed in Steam?
flat-fuchsiaOP•2w ago
yeah but i'm not seeing it in HGL
i'm not seeing experimental either and i know for a fact that one is installed
unwilling-turquoise•2w ago
what is the folder path to where Proton is installed?
flat-fuchsiaOP•2w ago
i'm digging around in my steam install and can't find it, found where GE-Proton installs though

flat-fuchsiaOP•2w ago
found it, gonna copy and paste it into the ge folder to see if that works
unwilling-turquoise•2w ago
Steam installs Proton into
steamapps/common
I wouldn't move it to the GE folder
you possibly have incorrect flatpak settingsflat-fuchsiaOP•2w ago
i figured it was buried in some sub sub sub folder
unwilling-turquoise•2w ago
again, what folder is Proton installed to?
flat-fuchsiaOP•2w ago
/home/walkingdeadpan/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common
unwilling-turquoise•2w ago
you need to check your flatpak folder settings. Heroic should already have access to
~/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam
and ~/.steam/steam
flat-fuchsiaOP•2w ago
It did using flatseal
@termdisc thanks for your help so far, gotta go to work. I'll see if I can get it working tomorrow
flat-fuchsiaOP•2w ago
so i brute forced it recognizing proton 10 and experimental by copying and pasting the files into the folder where it recognized the ge protons i had installed and now i get this error

unwilling-turquoise•2w ago
Disable umu
flat-fuchsiaOP•2w ago
I did
Proton 10 won't work outside of Steam yet
(see https://discord.com/channels/812703221789097985/1370235767489564743/1370235932669775953)
flat-fuchsiaOP•2w ago
dang it
i got the same result from experimental and didn't get anything from the various ge-protons i tried
unwilling-turquoise•2w ago
install wine-staging-tkg then
GE-Proton is too old
you need something based on 10, which is either Proton 10, experimental, or wine-staging-tkg
use ProtonPlus to install wine-staging-tkg
don't cobble together a workaround solution based on your flatpak Steam + Proton 10
also, when you have a failed run, post a new log
unwilling-turquoise•2w ago
wine-staging-tkg 10.7

flat-fuchsiaOP•2w ago
alright
right now i'm doing a fresh reinstall
alright i got it working
thanks for your help @termdisc
unwilling-turquoise•2w ago
Glad it worked out
