have it installed through winetricks.

Yes, that is the application.

Would you know what would be the cause of the issue? Because I don't wanna set
up 
a windows VM just to play a single game.

Hack Hide Virtuallloc2 + Paul Gofman patch for bug 52396

A +relay debug-log shows it's apparently coming from:

00e4:Call KERNEL32.GetProcAddress(174000000,1406cdff0 "VirtualAlloc2")
ret=1404f0604
00e4:Ret  KERNEL32.GetProcAddress() retval=17400c39c ret=1404f0604

.
.

00e4:Ret  ntdll.NtAllocateVirtualMemoryEx() retval=c000000d ret=174044c17

00e4:Call KERNEL32.GetLastError() ret=1402c8dea
00e4:Ret  KERNEL32.GetLastError() retval=00000057 ret=1402c8dea

With stupid hack, just hiding the VirtualAlloc2 export the initial window comes
up, there's another errorwindow that i didn't look at, just clicked away, and
than it starts downloading stuff.

Important: it also suffers from bug
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52396 so I also included Pauls
staging-patch for that in the hack. That should allow you to at least start the
application against vanilla wine

Maybe Paul could shed a light on this bug as he seems to have worked quite a
bit on  these Virtual* api's

Thanks a lot for the reply, however, I'm kind of inexperienced with Linux, as
I'm fairly new to it. What do I do with the hack? Just run it in cmd, or are
there specifics steps to it? Thanks in advance.

Kind regards.

Well, you'd have to recompile wine with that patch applied but I guess if you
never did that , that will cost you many hours of setting up a build
environment.

If you don't mind playing dirty tricks here's very quick way to get it started:

Just replace the string "VirtualAlloc2" in the installer with another string so
the installer cannot find the export anymore in wine:

sed 's/VirtualAlloc2/QirtualAlloc2/g' LandOfHeroes_Install.exe
> hackedinstaller.exe

Then just do 'wine hackedinstaller.exe' ; Important: use wine-staging otherwise
you will run into bug 52396.

Last remark: the error window might come from missing webview2 installation
(not 100% sure) but I wasn't able to install this, needs more investigation

After installing wine-staging 8.8, I can run the hacked installer via sudo wine
hackedinstaller.exe, however, after doing so, and when I click past the error,
I get an alert that I don't have VC++ 2022 installed, and if I want to install
it now. No matter if I say yes or no, the application does nothing.

Hi Jakub, First: Never run wine as root (sudo), it's bad and completely
unsupported here!!!

To answer your question: if you click yes it should open your browser to the
downloadpage, not sure why that doesnt work for you. You might wanna try
downloading it manually:

wget https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe

wine vc_redist.x64.exe

Last remark: that error window really seems to come from missing webview2
installation. I was able to install webview2 with vanilla wine and then that
error windows is gone

Whenever I try to launch it without sudo, it just throws the same error. I'll
attach it, but I'm pretty sure it's the same.

Well, I don't get that error and it might really come from mixing running wine
as root and as regular user(!)

My advise would be to start completely from scratch running wine as a regular
user only (so create new prefix and also redownload installer in a different
location and start allover again)

After creating a new prefix, installing .NET, and running the hacked installer,
the issue still persists.

Yes, I created a different directory and ran the file from there.

Does this error happen behore the download of the game starts? And anither not,
i did not install dotnet, the installer seems to Come with it bundled. As a

The installer doesn't even open, it just throws the error. And I've never heard
of "Thatcher" before. I tried creating those directories manually, but it
didn't seem to fix the issue.

But first you said it asked you to install vcruntime 2022 so it did start,
right?.  Or did it start only one time? Or was that running as root?

It started only when I was running as root.

I'm starting to wonder if we are talking about the same file/installer. Could
you check sha1sum? I downloaded the installer today :

sha1sum ./LandOfHeroes_Install.exe

Ok, I only now discovered that even your first run from comment 1 is different
from the bug I ran into. For me the original installer failed with

So there must be something wrong with your setup, maybe directories with wrong
permissions or I really wouldn't know. If you can reproduce the above crash
with the original installer then we are talking about the same thing.

I've tried running it in another directory, but the error message still says
the same thing.

I'm at a loss here, no idea what could be causing this issue.

I'm at a loss too here. Maybe someone else could try reproduce your crash, or
if you still want to try things, create another user account and login as that
user and try run the program as you then have a clean setup but also could be
more wasted time :(

I'll try I guess, but if this doesn't work, I guess I'll play on a windows VM
for a while until maybe someone finds a fix. Thanks a lot for trying tho, have
a great rest of your day/night/evening :)

After creating a new user, clean installing wine, and trying again, this hasn't
fixed it. I'll be setting up a windows VM in a bit then I guess.

I am having the exact same problem with another tool called PKHeX which needs
.NET Desktop Runtime 7. No matter where I put the executable, it will throw the
same error. And the strange thing is that this started to happen randomly, as
yesterday it was working fine.

00d8:err:eventlog:ReportEventW L"Application: PKHeX.exe\n"

--- Comment #26 from Olivier F. R. Dierick  ---
Hello,

I must say that it looks like a wrong TEMP directory path construction.

The failing path is a mix of a windows-style ('\' separated) root directory
path concatenated to what looks like a linux-style ('/' separated) XDG CACHE
directory. Both paths are absolute.

I could create a valid 2-level directory hierarchy manually with 'mkdir -p
this/that'.

I wonder if '\/' is an allowed path separator for the function used?

Does a WINEDEBUG=+relay log show how that path is constructed?

Regards.

Hello Olivier, thanks for your reply. As I'm not really familiar to where I
should look I've uploaded the complete log file with WINEDEBUG=+relay
(https://0x0.st/HLmT.log) since it's too big to attach here.
