That is not the correct log. Please provide the log for the game. Make sure, also, that verbose logging is enabled in the game's settings page.

Install the Windows version instead. Seems the Linux one is just a wrapper around the Windows executable using (I assume an ancient version of) Wine

You'll have to use https://github.com/pythonlover02/Proton-Sarek on your setup, as both of your GPUs only support Vulkan 1.2

although i created the directory and copied the folder there in steam settings a) there is no option "Enable Steam Play for all other titles" and b) in the dropdown menu i don't see Proton-Sarek

Right, just not gonna question why you're switching accounts here Move the folder into /home/aris/.config/heroic/tools/proton/ (you should see GE-Proton-latest there already), then restart Heroic. No need to do anything in Steam After that, open the game settings & set -Sarek as the Wine Version

Assuming this "Drauger OS" is still similar enough to standard Ubuntu, follow this to install Vulkan drivers: https://github.com/lutris/docs/blob/master/InstallingDrivers.md#amd--intel

i had Ubuntu and the game played in native edition fluently

Vulkan drivers don't come pre-installed on Ubuntu as far as I remember, so you'd have to have done this at some point there too for the game to work Alternatively you could've been using Wine's Direct3D -> OpenGL translation, but that's less accurate & slower. It's better to use DXVK in the long run (especially in case you're planning on playing other games)

no, i did nothing. it played in Ubuntu without any problems from the beginning. if i remember it was 24.04 LTS now i think nothing changed https://0x0.st/8GmF.log still no play

Did the packages install correctly? Did you reboot as the docs say?

Right, they set their own release codename & thus can't install Ubuntu PPA packages I don't know how you'd install Vulkan drivers in that case then. Perhaps ask on their Discord server: https://discord.gg/JW8FGrc

do you know if i try lutris instead of heroic if it is possible to play it? or will stuck in the same problem?
CommandMC

You'll need Vulkan drivers no matter what. The one workaround I could think of here would be Flatpak Heroic (since that comes with its own drivers), but I'm not sure if Flatpak will install drivers if the host ones are missing outright
