[Switched to Proton Experimental and everything is working flawlessly.]

Hello!

I have Baldurs Gate 3 and Cyberpunk on GoG - I just tried to install them using Heroic Launcher.

Cyberpunk will open the CDProjekt launcher, but then the game wont start. Baldur will say running - but its not running at all.

I've seen other people saying these games just pretty much work straight up when using Heroic and Im not quite sure what to troubleshoot here as I've not use heroic before (regardless, I got further with Heroic than i did with Lutris for GoG)

Any one else hit these snags? Let me know what information you need from me and i will gladly provide it, im still a linux noob, but can find what ya need if you can tell me what I need to provide to help trouble shoot.

Im using Pop_os.

Thank you in advance!

I should add i did install Against the Storm - but that was on Epic and I installed in on my SSD drive... and now that I am thinking about it both Cyber and Baldur are on my HDD since i have more room there... I wonder if that is it.

It's almost certainly not the drive.

What version of Wine or Proton are you using to run those games? Heroic should let you install a bunch of different versions. Personally I use Proton Experimental and the Steam Runtime for BG3

Holy shit dude - it was that simple. Proton experimental and it works like a fucking charm. Thank you!

Is your HDD NTFS? That can sometimes be an issue, I think.
