GE 10-1 didn’t have that issue. I played 20 min ago Otherwise, post a log

Force enable umu. Check and uncheck the disable Umu box

What’s the endless part? Just Heroic sitting there? The game?

it works, why it was bugged?

The color bars are codec related which GE-Proton should cover. umu is the runtime for GE that ensures proper backend stuff. Combined, it probably ensured that the codecs were used GE includes codecs not contained in stock Proton. Steam would have transcoded videos for Steam-owned games while that doesn’t happen for Epic or GOG

the value is set to true, yet the box doesnt show it.. clicking it twice puts everythign in the right state, its a known issue in the ui hopefully a fix appars in a future update

The setting isn’t automatically added to the config, and Heroic doesn’t run umu unless it sees disableUMU=false Your next game should automatically have this in your config

So umu fixes many issues but it still isn't default?

It is default. The setting is bugged Rather, it is intended to be default Game configs carry forward, so each game you play now should have a disableUMU flag in it
