Please follow these instructions on using GE-Proton:

Head to the Wine Manager in Heroic, click the "GE-Proton" tab, and install "GE-Proton-Latest"
Head to the settings for your game(s) (icon on game card in library). In the "Wine Version" dropdown, select "Proton - GE-Proton-latest"
Rename your Wineprefix (path is shown in game settings), e.g. from
```
current-name
```
```
current-name
```
to
```
current-name_bak
```
```
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.

a question how do i do this for heroic launcher steam games work fine for me only heroic games do not lauch

Preventing NTFS Read Errors
THERE HAS BEEN A REPORT THAT THIS MAY CAUSE DATA LOSS

Due to the nature of NTFS, creating files/folders with names that are invalid on Windows will cause disk errors (leading to games that don't launch). The most common issue is a : (colon) character in filenames that Proton creates on the NTFS disk.

Fixing this is pretty simple: create the /compatdata folder on the mounted NTFS disk as a symlink that points to a folder on a Linux partition.

Creating the symlink:

$ mkdir -p ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata
$ ln -s ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata /media/gamedisk/Steam/steamapps/
If the /compatdata folder already exists on the mounted disk BEFORE the symlink, DELETE IT!

You don't work around your existing confusing mount setup by making it even more confusing

Mount your drives at /run/media//run/media/ or /mnt//mnt/, leave folders in your home directory as regular folders

Bbrilliant-lime You don't work around your existing confusing mount setup by making it even more...

technical-ivoryOP•10/2/25, 4:49 PM

well yeah i have mounted my games drive to /home/users/Games and rest i have left for heroic to configure do i need to put my prefix folder in my linux partion heroic has put it in my games folder by default

CommandMC•10/2/25, 4:51 PM

Yes, Heroic expects you to mount drives at sensible locations
Again, you don't fix this by making things more confusing. Mount your drive in a normal location, change the install path of any already-installed games to the new mount point

technical-ivoryOP•10/2/25, 5:07 PM

okey i will try that and let you know

technical-ivoryOP•10/3/25, 12:23 AM

thank you man the issue got fixed just had to move my prefix path away from ntfs drive
