Hello,
I've been trying to run 7th Heaven on Fedora (MATE, X11, GPD WIN 2) using various methods, but it doesn't work for me. What bothers, me that I almost got it to run (I think) but I just have no idea why it crashes (?) in the end.
So first of all I tried installing game via Steam, then just installed 7th Heaven directly from *.exe - obviously that didn't work (as 7th Heaven didn't have needed components, and probably couldn't even detect the game).
Next, I found this
https://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=19656 instruction, and followed it as closely as I could. The issue is, that when I supplied linked directory to the game as prefix, it always gave me the error about one of the *.reg files being read-only (in Lutris); I reckon this might have to do with the fact for some reason my Steam files are in `/home/user/.var/apps`, which is a hidden directory (?). I tried giving it +W, +X, eventually even 777, but that didn't help. I also tried setting up custom Steam library/storage, but that didn't allow me to download anything (maybe needs physically separate partition, and I cannot just specify some random folder on the same partition?)
Finally, I tried replicating the steps from OP using protontricks manually; in other words, I did something along the lines of:
protontricks 39140 dotnet452 # then installed it using wizard
protontricks 39140 uninstaller # then installed 7th Heaven itself
protontricks 39140 winecfg # then performed rest of the configuration
protontricks-launch --appid 39140 "/home/path/to/compatdata/then/exe"
The result is, that 7th Heaven itself start, I can download mods, everything is "fine" there (aside from the fact that some of the UI elements are flickery); the issue, is that when I try to start the game from there (even without the mods) it is just stuck in endless loading, without any error:

Could you help me with that? It's really annoying as I have no idea what's even causing this, it just gets stuck like this with no error or anything.
