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. Log: https://0x0.st/8J6q.log

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

that's fine just have it download Proton 10 and set it as your runner in Heroic

Steam installs Proton into steamapps/common I wouldn't move it to the GE folder you possibly have incorrect flatpak settings

/home/walkingdeadpan/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common

you need to check your flatpak folder settings. Heroic should already have access to ~/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam and ~/.steam/steam

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

wine-staging-tkg 10.7
