I already played other games on Steam with GE-Proton-10-28 and it works perfectly

I have Hogwarts Lecacgy at Epic Games Store

I’m using Hero Launcher, because that was in my default Cachyos installation, I’m not a Linux professional but I started to understand a few things about this, I used Wine, GE-Proton-Latest, Ge-Proton-10-28, but nothing works, it starts with a white screen and then just stays there.

I have had a similar issue with steam where the issue was the wayland backend. check out the following link and see if this helps you solve your issue:

Also, may be helpful to run Hero from the terminal and see if there are any errors being output there when you run the game.

I tried changing the proton version to 10-4, that works, now I have a black screen but with the music.

I think you’re getting there. At least on the right track. According to AI search results:

Method 1: The Gamescope Approach (Recommended)

  1. Install Gamescope: Ensure gamescope is installed on your system (e.g., sudo pacman -S gamescope on Arch/Hyprland).

  2. Configure Heroic Games Launcher:

    • Open Heroic and go to Settings > Game Defaults.

    • Scroll down to the Gamescope section.

    • Enable the option to use Gamescope.

    • You can define additional parameters like --width 1920 --height 1080 -f to force fullscreen and your desired resolution.

  3. Configure via Steam: If you add Epic Games to Steam via the Heroic integration, right-click the game > Properties > General, and under Launch Options, add:
    gamescope -W 1920 -H 1080 -f -- %command%
    (Replace with your native display resolution).

Method 2: Enabling Native Wine/Proton Wayland Drivers

Recent versions of Proton and Wine (including GE-Proton) feature native Wayland drivers which drastically improve latency and frame delivery.

  1. Open your specific game’s settings in Heroic Games Launcher.

  2. Under the Other / Advanced tab, find the Environment Variables section.

  3. Add a new variable to enforce the Wayland driver:

    • Key: SDL_VIDEODRIVER

    • Value: wayland

  4. (Optional) Add a second variable if you are experiencing mouse input issues or to force Wayland directly for Wine:

    • Key: WINE_SIMULATE_CURSOR

    • Value: 1

Switch to Cachyos-proton and it finally works
