Can't seem to run any Unity games through Heroic Games Launcher? [Linux]
Hey there. I've been testing out if I can game on the Thinkpad T470 I bought and put Linxu Mint in. The first test game I tried installing was Brotato and it ran well enough, so I decided to see if I could run a more advanced game. I tried two games, both Unity-made: Two Point Hospital and Sunless Skies, however both games failed to launch in the exact same way: A Unity window with a progress bar would appear, fill up and close alongside the game. Both of these games are also reported to work Out of the Box well.
The logs gave an error some times, but it was generic and looking it up resulted in no solution being found. Also, sometimes, the error would not show up.
I'm using Proton-GE-Latest, haven't changed anything from the default install options, and am using the Appimage version of HGL. All games were obtained from the Epic Games Store.
If any of you could help me figure out this issue I'd appreciate it.

I actually managed to fix this by going on Proton-GE-8-32 instead of Latest. Played it for a bit and the game runs stable - a bit laggy and drains the battery like hell but that's more of my computer's fault than anything else lol. I think I can mark this as solved.

Dxvk 2.7 requires Mesa 25 as minimum
Brotato worked because it is an OpenGL game
So has nothing to do with DXVK

That is not a fix.
Your computer is not faulty either.
adverse-sapphireOPā¢2mo ago
Oh I'm not saying it's faulty, I'm just saying it's not a great laptop lol

If you dont know how to add a ppa or too lazy to google that then you can just ask

I mean, I solved the problem

Wine GE is 2 years old
You didnt solve anything
adverse-sapphireOPā¢2mo ago
I didn't add Wine GE
I added Proton-GE-8-32
ambitious-aquaā¢2mo ago
Proton/Wine 8 base is 2 years old
adverse-sapphireOPā¢2mo ago
I'm not sure what the problem here is
ambitious-aquaā¢2mo ago
Problem is when a game requires new stuff from 10 base you will hit that problem again
While a driver update will just allow you to use proton 10 actually
And it is easy
adverse-sapphireOPā¢2mo ago
Well I'll keep that in mind

Yes, the right answer is installing Mesa >=25 šÆ
In my case (Ubuntu 22.04), I had to use the "stable" PPA instead of the "fresh" one

This is a slow moving mesa PPA.
The goal of this PPA is to provide newer mesa with the maximum amount of time for regressions to be resolved in upstream mesa. However, this comes at the cost of absolutely no support. Please do not report any issues with this PPA.
If you encounter bugs, ppa-purge this PPA and reproduce the issue with a newer me...
