"winePrefix": "/home/kenvontemaddox04/Games/Heroic",
"disableUMU": true

Both of those are very bad ideas

Un-check the "Disable umu" checkbox
Set your Wineprefix back to the default value (
```
~/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/default/Mafia III Definitive Edition
```
~/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/default/Mafia III Definitive Edition
```
~/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/default/Mafia III Definitive Edition
```
~/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/default/Mafia III Definitive Edition
)

Don't use a literal

~

~ in the Wineprefix path.

~

~ is generally used as a shorthand to refer to your home directory (

/home/kenvontemaddox04/

/home/kenvontemaddox04/

/home/kenvontemaddox04/

/home/kenvontemaddox04/ in your case)

The same Wineprefix path you just changed

technical-ivoryOP•11/13/25, 8:51 PM

https://0x0.st/Kp21.log did i change it right?

CommandMC•11/13/25, 8:55 PM

You've removed the

~

~ entirely now. That won't work, since

/Games/...

/Games/...

/Games/...

/Games/... is not an existing path

Replace the

~

~ with your actual home directory path (

/home/kenvontemaddox04/

/home/kenvontemaddox04/

/home/kenvontemaddox04/

/home/kenvontemaddox04/)

technical-ivoryOP•11/13/25, 8:57 PM

what do u mean?

C

CommandMC•11/13/25, 8:59 PM

You had this path set before:

~/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/default/Mafia III Definitive Edition

~/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/default/Mafia III Definitive Edition

~/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/default/Mafia III Definitive Edition

~/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/default/Mafia III Definitive Edition
You've now removed the

~

~ to make it

/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/default/Mafia III Definitive Edition

/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/default/Mafia III Definitive Edition

/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/default/Mafia III Definitive Edition

/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/default/Mafia III Definitive Edition
That's not what you were supposed to do. You were supposed to replace the

~

~ with your actual home directory (

/home/kenvontemaddox04/

/home/kenvontemaddox04/

/home/kenvontemaddox04/

/home/kenvontemaddox04/), so it reads

/home/kenvontemaddox04/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/default/Mafia III Definitive Edition

/home/kenvontemaddox04/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/default/Mafia III Definitive Edition

/home/kenvontemaddox04/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/default/Mafia III Definitive Edition

/home/kenvontemaddox04/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/default/Mafia III Definitive Edition

You've also changed your Wine Version. Do not use Wine-GE anymore.

Wine-GE is rather old now (last release is almost a year ago) and thus might not work correctly. Please follow these instructions on using GE-Proton:

Head to the Wine Manager in Heroic, click the "Proton-GE" tab, and install "Proton-GE-Latest"
Head to the settings for your game(s) (icon on game card in library). In the "Wine Version" dropdown, select "Proton - Proton-GE-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.
