GENSHIN IMPACT Installed but only launches me to the page where you install/launch.
I have all the necessary files downloaded. I press launch on the heroic app it launches the genshin launcher. I have the button to launch it from there but once I press it, the game closes.

I may be a little late but what distro are you using and what proton/wine version are you using
To help you, we need a game log. Please see the following images on how to get it.

ive used latest wine and latest proton no luck
not sure about the distro
generous-apricot•2mo ago
Try specifically proton 10, also which Linux distro
Are you on windows or is it not your PC?
deep-jadeOP•2mo ago
its on steam deck
generous-apricot•2mo ago
How do you not know your own Linux distro
Ah so steamos
Should've tagged the post with steam deck
deep-jadeOP•2mo ago
im not discord savy sorry
or anything savy
and in the list of tags there were only 5. steam deck not being one of them

Ok so
Follow the instructions for genshin from https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher/wiki/Anime-Games
Then go to the steam deck desktop mode and launch the game there, go to your settings and set the bindings from keyboard to controller in-game
Then close out of genshin (might need to restart the steam deck) and go into heroic games launcher (still on desktop mode), then click on the settings for genshin and find the option to launch an exe instead, point it to the genshin impact exe (should be located in /Heroic/Genshin impact/games/Genshin Impact Game/genshin impact.exe)

After that just click on add game to steam in heroic (if you haven't before) and you can play
It is the middle of the night for me so if you are having trouble I'll help tomorrow

hey
my launcher worked few hours ago
and now it isnt
im on mint
deep-jadeOP•2mo ago
Almost there. Having an issue trying to login once the game is launched there is no way for me to type in my login info.
generous-apricot•2mo ago
Haha yeah that happens, if you have a USB to USBC or a keyboard with a USBC output then use that, otherwise you should be able to launch in gaming mode and press steam+x for the keyboard

Ok so I should be able to launch from gaming mode before I am able to change the settings to controller on desktop mode? If that’s the case it shouldn’t be an issue.
generous-apricot•2mo ago
Yeah, you'll just need to go back to desktop after logging in to change the bindings
deep-jadeOP•2mo ago

what you can do:
- launch the app from heroic game launcher
- once the hoyo launcher is launched, turn off all internet services
- now launch the game, it should be working now
reason: hoyo is trying to stop linux users for some reasons, so for that they try to get the os details from the launcher while launching, but if you turn of the internet, they will not know the os details, so the game will launch evantually
this worked for me
