Unable to launch Elite:Dangerous with Manghud enabled
🐧linux✅solved
I run 3 copies of Elite:Dangerous
1. Via Heroic Games Launcher
2. Via Steam
3. Via Lutris
I have installed Mangohud via the Github website (latest stable release) and the Flatpack v25.08
Mangohud works with the Steam and Lutris versions, but if selected via the HGL version, fails to launch.
Anyone able to direct me to what I am doing wrong with Heroic please?
O/S is Linux Mint Cinnamon.
I have included the Game log after a failed launch and a General log.
Thanks for looking,

Wine-GE is rather old now (last release from Feb. 2024) and thus might not work correctly. 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 "GE-Proton-latest"
3. Rename your Wineprefix (path is shown in game settings), e.g. from
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.
