I made a git hub issue, but I want to ask here as well in hope of finding success

After running heroic in the terminal, the following thing catchs my eye: The terminal hangs at either

[Backend]: Running Wine command: wineboot --init or [Legendary]: Using cached install info or ERROR:gl_surface_presentation_helper.cc(260)] GetVSyncParametersIfAvailable() failed for 1 -and 2 & 3- times!

sometimes I get a notification to install mono when switching WINE versions (WINE-GE).

Somewhere along the loading process a “wineboot.exe” blank windows appears depending on the wine version (heppens with proton) and stays for a while. I am using Wine-GE

Things I tried:

-Deleting the “Games” folder in my home folder - Only heroic used it anyway.

-Adding the game to steam through Heroic’s “Add to steam” button.

-Reinstalling heroic and all of its dependencies.

-Manually adding the game’s EXE to steam and forcing a Proton version.

-Launching the game by double clicking it in my file manager Nemo.

Surprisingly, only the last two things succeeded in running the game properly.

Terminal output after a successful run:

(Excuse my inability to use a code block on this)

Update: I found a repo for fedora on their github page, downloaded it and games started working fine.
