Heroic unable to find/use umu
I am using OpenSUSE Linux Tumbleweed, and I've tried using the latest Heroic RPM downloaded from Heroic's github, and from the OpenSUSE 'games' repo (v2.17.2). Heroic can't seem to find umu. I have run 'umu-run --version' from a terminal, and it reports 'umu-launcher version 1.2.7 (3.13.5 (main, Jun 11 2025, 22:06:31) [GCC])'. Command 'whereis umu-run' shows: 'umu-run: /usr/bin/umu-run'. Heroic does not give me the option to select 'Proton - GE-Proton-latest' as my wine version, nor does 'Disable umu' show under the advanced tab. Examining config.json shows the line: '"disableUMU": false,'. Python 3.11 and 3.13 are both installed. I cannot work out why Heroic is unable to interface with umu. How can I troubleshoot this please?

did you install ge-proton in the Wine Manager section of heroic?
then it should show up as an option in the wine version selector, and once selected you should have the
disable umu checkbox in Advanced
