Cyberpunk 2077 not launching
Hi!
I'm new to Linux and especially to Linux gaming... so have patience with me 🙂
I bought Cyperpunk 2077 a long time ago on GOG and as I switched over from Windows to Linux Mint 22.1 recently, I tried to install it here. I downloaded the Heroic .appimage because I'm not used to work with flatpacks and connected successfully to GOG.
After downloading the game, it shows up in the launcher but starting it will end up in nothing, i.e. It shows "Launching" but doesn't launch.
I tried a steam game over the Steam launcher, which worked just fine.
I checked if Wine is installed and it tells me:
Wine version:
wine-9.0 (Ubuntu 9.0~repack-4build3)
That's my latest log: https://pastebin.com/3DsYu9Lg
Please let me know if I missed any information and your help would be appreciated!

you want to use proton-ge from heroic's wine manager
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.absent-sapphireOP•4d ago
Hi RawToast!
Where do I find this setting? If I have a look at the wine options, I don't see Proton-GE-latest:

Oh, it seems I was to quick. It took longer as expected to download it. Now it shows up... let's try!
Yep, that did the trick! Thanks a bunch!
