Run
flatpak update in terminalconscious-sapphireOP•2mo ago
it opened a black window for a sec and didnt launch the game
"wineVersion": { "bin": "/home/deck/.local/share/Steam/compatibilitytools.d/GE-Proton8-27/proton", "name": "Proton - GE-Proton8-27", "type": "proton" },You are on an ancient version of GE-Proton
Please follow these instructions on using GE-Proton:
1. Head to the Wine Manager in Heroic, click the "GE-Proton" tab, and install "GE-Proton-Latest"
2. Head to the settings for your game(s) (icon on game card in library). In the "Wine Version" dropdown, select "Proton - GE-Proton-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.conscious-sapphireOP•2mo ago

it just keeps giving unable to launch game, please reinstall error
Did you try verifying your game files? The error in that log is quite strange

conscious-sapphireOP•2mo ago
yeah
i even uninstalled and reinstalled before the verify
Could you send in the following file then:

Solution
conscious-sapphire•2mo ago
i just deleted a file and that launched the game
conscious-sapphireOP•2mo ago
lemme just try and see what it was
args.txt
inside is
-nobattleye -noBE @args.txt
ig it was an old workaroundStrange, that file doesn't appear in the list of files shipped with the game & I don't recall ever seeing someone recommend adding it
conscious-sapphireOP•2mo ago
yeah for whatever reason not all the files from the previous install got removed and stayed there in the new one
no idea where i couldve found the workaround tho, couldve been anywhere (google, reddit, youtube, etc)
Any files not added by the game don't get deleted on uninstall. Some games save your... saves in the game directory, we don't want to accidentally delete those

ah i see. thanks for your help
